You like this. 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: I was actually chuckling when you said be careful out there. 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: It's cold, beautiful morning. This is to me, this is 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: a perfect fall morning. All right. This is late June 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Yeah, that's maybe late. May give him 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: a little credit. What's your what's your heat cut off? 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: Like r J and Troy they love it in nineties 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: and one hundred like these sickoes around here, and you know, 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: I prefer it much cooler. What's your what's your cut 12 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: off temperature for the heat? Because we're going back to 13 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: seventy next week apparently. Yeah, I'll say this. I have 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: an opportunity to live in you know, the climates are 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: too cold in climate are too hot. I don't think 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: it's ever too hot. You know. I would take too 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: hot over too cold any day. So, I mean, I 18 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: don't want to be up in the hundreds, but I 19 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with the nineties. Oh that's right, Gosh, 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: I like it. That's awful, all right. Dak said that 21 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: it's safe to assume that he's good to go for Sunday. 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: I assume that you're agreeing da Dak would be good 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: to go for the Broncos. Oh, definitely. I mean, you know, 24 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: everything was good yesterday. Visit with Dak last night before 25 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: before he called it a night here and you know, 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: let's say anything happens in the next forty eight hours, 27 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: said he said, there, but yeah, everything looks ready. It 28 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: looks ready to go. Was he so close and close 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: enough on Sunday against Minnesota that you knew basically then 30 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: and there? Yeah, not today, but he'll be good next week. 31 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: You knew then and there. Uh, you know one of 32 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: the points of the conversation was if he did not 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: play in Minnesota. Um, you know, Britt Brown, you know, 34 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: felt strongly that he would be you know, full go 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: by Wednesday or clearly about Thursday's practice. So and and 36 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: that's that's how I felt to be true and so 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: more so it definitely was the right decision for Dak 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: not to play in Minnesota. Dak also told us yesterday 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: that it'll be Terrence Steele at left tackle and Layout 40 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: at right tackle. Can you just kind of take us 41 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: through because I don't think any other city talks offensive 42 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: line moves as much as we do. Coach, in terms 43 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: of the guys and studs you have upfront, can you 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: just take us through that decision on how you ended 45 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: up with that for Sunday, So Dak put that out there. Yeah, Troy, 46 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: let's play the clip coach, Coach, we were afraid you 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: were gonna get mad at us for I'm not. I'm 48 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 1: laughing about it. And I talked to Risbody. Yes, I said, 49 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: you know, he took he took a week off, he's 50 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: a little rusty. Yeah, we can't get it out of Jerry, Jerry. 51 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: We got We got Steele at right tackle out of 52 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: Jerry earlier in the year, and then and then and 53 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: then he's been silenced. Yeah, this could be a fun conversation, 54 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: so we should move on. Um. I think, like anything, 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, you look at you look at all the factors. 56 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: You know, the fact that Terrence has spent more time 57 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: you know with as far as reps on the left side. 58 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking through train any camp, you know, practice reps 59 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: and things like that. It's you know, an LC has 60 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: been more right handed. So you know that was a 61 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: big part of our decision for those that don't know 62 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: more right handed or making someone play left handed, because 63 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: that's a football term that's always thrown out there. Could 64 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: could you just explain what that is? Oh man, I'll 65 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: tell you. Josh sitting up in greenery had the perfect 66 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: u you know, the analogy of you know, moving from 67 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: right guard to left guard. And I'm trying to I'm 68 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: trying to say this the right way on the radio. 69 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: He um, he illustrated. It's like when you go when 70 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: you go to when you go to the bathroom, you 71 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: have to wipe, you know, one way as opposed to 72 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: the other. It's it's it's it's more difficult than you think. 73 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: So I think it's a lot about your footwork, you know, 74 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: as as far as leverage points, you know, just it's 75 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: just the opposite. So um, you know that's why these 76 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: guys practice the way they do. You know that the 77 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: connection of the playing with the guy next to you, 78 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, the combination blocks, the fits of it, the communication, 79 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, passing off the stunts. So just the footwork 80 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: work and the interestacies you know of how you're doing 81 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: on the left side of post the right side. I mean, 82 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: obviously you want to Repetition is very important in this decision. 83 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: I can't go left either, Coach, I'm done. I got 84 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: nothing else. That's why I'm avoiding rotator surgery. That's that's 85 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: used my left hand. That that's the walk off moment 86 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: right there. I thought you guys would enjoy that. But yeah, 87 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: definitely should be a side conversation. Let's let's get into 88 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: some health of the guys update status is uh like 89 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: a Mari CD gallop all the wide receiver seem to 90 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: have something. Yeah, definitely, both guys have done well. They've 91 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: they've you know worked there, you know, the workloads of 92 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: both just at in today. So we'll see how they are. 93 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: This is really the design on what Fridays are for. 94 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: So you know, you hit, you hit your your marks 95 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday, so how they come through today. But 96 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: I feel feel good about a Marian and Michael looks 97 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: good too, so we'll just you know, we'll take that 98 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: decision all the way to tomorrow. Did did Lamb has 99 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: something new come up with the ankle this week or 100 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: still just from the Viking game? No, it's uh, he 101 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: just kind of rolled it in practice on Wednesday, so 102 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: anticipated he'll you know, we have a full day to day, 103 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: and you know, I look for him to practice tomorrow. 104 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: One of the guys Denver has one of the rookies. 105 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: They've got a pretty good rookie on defense as well, 106 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: just like just like we do. But Patrick Szirtan having 107 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: a good year. Has he been covering the ones mostly? 108 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: And what have you seen from him on tape? Well, 109 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean the thing about it, I mean, they're they're 110 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: more left and right. But he's you know, he's one 111 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: of those young corners. You probably want to get after 112 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: him now because in another another year or two, he's 113 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: you know, he has a chance to be one of 114 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: the top players in the league. So I mean, he's 115 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: plays with excellent length um, just very mature in his 116 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: h his technique and route recognition, so very, very impressive 117 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: tape so far for a rookie. How interested were you 118 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: guys in him? Coach, We had done a lot of 119 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: corner talk before the draft before y'all ended up with 120 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: a hell of a player yourself. How much did you 121 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: guys like certain coming out? Oh? I loved him now, 122 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: he was he was definitely you know, had a lot 123 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: of conversation and you know, up there with Micah and 124 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: he's he's definitely living living up to his evaluation. Great, Uh, 125 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: Mica did not have the green dot on his helmet 126 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: this week. Is that's something that you guys are gonna 127 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: could you know, do moving forward? We have another player 128 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: be the one making the calls? Yeah, I mean as 129 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: we move forward. I mean a lot of that is 130 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: determined my final game planning, you know, trying to anticipate 131 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: the personnel groups that you're going to be in UM. 132 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: But you know, it was something that j K. Jay 133 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: Ron did did an excellent job of, and you know, 134 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: we'll probably we'll probably lean that way again this week, 135 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: but you always got to have three guys ready for 136 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: the green dot. Now you know, Mike is still part 137 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: of that rotation. How much does that free up a 138 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: defensive player coach when they don't have to worry about 139 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: those calls. We we always talk about offensive terminology, But 140 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: is it is it over hype that someone just gets 141 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: to play without thinking if they don't have that responsibility added, No, 142 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: I think it's the fact. I mean, you know, it's 143 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: the responsibility of being the key communicator. You know, it 144 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: takes takes up some of your mental and emotional energy. 145 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: So no, it's it's It's definitely a responsibility, and it's 146 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: an important responsibility. I think it shows you what we 147 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: think of micah. Uh, you know how far along we 148 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: feel in his development that he was wearing a green 149 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: dot for us. So you know, you have to have 150 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: more than one. So you have to have a clean 151 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: rotation because you know, the communication, especially to stress in 152 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: the pre snap. You know, so so much of this game, 153 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, with the offense trying to tack the defense, 154 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: there's so much that goes on before the ball is snapped. 155 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: In the importance of that, you know how it affects 156 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: the efficiency of how how you guys line up in place. So, um, 157 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: I just think it. You know, Mike is is trained 158 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: and ready to do it, but just be based off 159 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: of how we feel the flow of the personnel groups. 160 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: You know, it was actually good to take some responsibility 161 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: off MICA's plate. Mike McCarthy live with Shawan and RG 162 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: every Friday on one oh five three of the Fan. Uh. 163 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: You of course know that we throw out really dumb 164 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: football questions for our own education to you every week. 165 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: This week's is defensive play calls, Mike, how different are 166 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: they from offensive play calls? Like with the terminology. Is 167 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: it so much shorter? Is it quicker? We've always I've 168 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: always wondered about that. You know, the defensive guys go 169 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: in for a second. You know, what is the defensive 170 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: play call? How much different is it from the offensive terminologies? 171 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: Is it a lot simpler. That's a great question, by 172 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: the way, thank you. Yeah, the prelude, having nervous I 173 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: thought it would be something question or something, but now 174 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: that's an excellent question. And you know, when you look 175 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: at terminology just from playbooks, the offensive terminology is a 176 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: lot longer than defense and you know, I think rightfly, 177 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: so you know, the defense is reacting to the offense, 178 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: and then what happens is then you get into hurry 179 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: up offense, you know where they want to call it 180 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: no huddle, you know, rapid though, all the different terms 181 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: on the ball, and then the offense kind of goes 182 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: to shorter terminology. So it's kind of like your two minute, 183 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: you know your two minute nicknames for the long place. 184 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: And you know, the defense really has to operate in 185 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: that mode all the time because you know, if you're 186 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: playing an offense that's rolling personnel groups in there, your 187 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: you know, your your communication has to be quick and easy. Um. 188 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: So the answer your question, the defense terminology is a 189 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: lot less and U and our guys are very creative, 190 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, in how to build the families or words 191 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: and and it's it's key to the you know, the 192 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: momentum and the way today's games played because you know 193 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to hurry up and slow it down and 194 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 1: trying to keep the opponent off balance. Coach, I know 195 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: in this league, I mean, anybody could beat any team 196 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: on any day, and we've seen it this year. Um, 197 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: but you know, do you plan or have to coach 198 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: against the potential letdown? I know Denver hasn't you know, 199 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: hasn't played great over the last couple of weeks. You 200 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: come up a big win with you know, with the 201 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: backup quarterback. Do you have to coach against the letdown? Absolutely? Um? 202 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: You know you're coaching hailing success all the time in 203 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: this in this business. You know when when you're on 204 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: a win streak. Um, you know, there was a it's 205 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: we touched on it. It's some form or fashion weekly. Um. 206 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: You know you know this week frankly our you know, 207 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: the message was don't take the cheese and you know, 208 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: as far as what's going on out around you know, 209 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: around our our locker room, in our workspace, and it's 210 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: just it's just you know, keeping the focus on self 211 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: improvement because you know, we we we still have a 212 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: lot of you know, opportunity to grow and and that's 213 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: really what our focus is. And at the end of 214 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: the day, when we get to Sunday, it's about winning 215 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: and we got we got to do whatever it takes 216 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: to win the game. It's it's always about winning. But 217 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, Monday through Saturday, we got to really stay 218 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: on top of you growing our football team, whether it's 219 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: the development of our young players that that that aren't 220 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: going to play that you know that we can get 221 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: some extra practice, reps form and making sure the veterans 222 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: are getting exactly what they need. But the reality of 223 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 1: keeping the continuity and the connection constant within our know, 224 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: our environment is particularly when we practice on one is 225 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: in Thursday, because competitive spirit and the efficiency of it 226 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: is so important to success. Mike McCarthy here on one 227 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: oh five three the fan h with with the deadline passing. 228 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: Jerry had told us Tuesday, you know, we're probably not 229 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: going to do anything. How do you weigh Mike trying 230 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: to match a move like the Rams just made with 231 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: you guys up there in the NFC versus not wanting 232 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: to disrupt something special that you have going on and 233 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: the chemistry in your locker room. How do you how 234 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: do you weigh that? Yeah? I mean I think that's 235 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: you know, something ere that happens each and every year, 236 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: and I think it's a you know, really re emphasizing 237 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: what I just talked about is just keeping the eye, 238 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, your eye on a target, and that's the 239 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: development of the players we have here. I mean, if 240 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: there is a situation where you feel that you can 241 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: really upgrade your team, and if there's a certain spots 242 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: of you feel like you, you know, meet I don't 243 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: know exactly what the Rams, you know, they're thinking of 244 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: going into that, but you know, it definitely sounds like 245 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: an excellent move for them. But I'm glad they did 246 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: it this week. It comes convenient. But you know, I 247 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: just always really focused on our guys, and you know, 248 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: just coming from a program that we just realiged strictly 249 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: on the draft, you know that, you know, I don't 250 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: think we've ever I don't think I've ever been part 251 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: of a signing on on Tuesday, the last day, you know, 252 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: the trade deadline. So um, so that's that's just been 253 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: my personal experience. So but you know, I'm not I'm not, 254 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'll take I'll take it, but I think 255 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: it will definitely help our team. But I really like 256 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: not only the group of men we have here, but 257 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: the volume. I mean, we have outstanding numbers under this 258 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: new roster development plan because of you know, the pandemic, 259 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: and I think it's something that I hope the league 260 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: stays with because they have you know, eighty plus players 261 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: in your building that you're developing. I think this is 262 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: the best replacement for for a minor league. And all 263 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: those things get kicked around all the time. So we're 264 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: just really focusing on on our group. Did you give 265 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore a hard time yesterday with the latest rumors 266 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: of him taking a college football job? Uh shoo shoo. 267 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: Sorry I missed that with TCU in the news yesterday, 268 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: TCU for I saw that by coach No I did not? 269 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: All right, am I supposed to?

Mike didn't like 273 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: that too much. Yeah, we got some TCU you lum 274 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: not in here, so I'm sure there's some of that 275 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: going on. Coach.
