Is 82 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 6: that just is winning like that the way you guys 83 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 6: had said, stop the turnovers and we'll be fine. Turnovers 84 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 6: and tackles. Does that maybe justify maybe what what you're 85 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 6: preaching in terms of, you know, getting the exact result, 86 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 6: maybe even better result than what you could have imagined. 87 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, markets, it's it's, it's. 88 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: It's you know, listen, it's football is not a not 89 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: a hard game, not a complicated game. Sometimes we as 90 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 3: coaches and players complicate things a little bit too much. 91 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: But I think if you just focus on the basics 92 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: and and that's just it, you know, you could you 93 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: don't turn the ball over, You don't have a lot 94 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 3: of penalties or pre snap penalties on offense, right, you 95 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: make open field tackles, you're you're in the right position, 96 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 3: You control the line of scrimmage both sides. You know, 97 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: you run the ball effectively enough in the game, you know, 98 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 3: to control, to control the game. I just think those 99 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: are those are recipes for any football team, you know, 100 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 3: but but obviously for ours and where we are and 101 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: and you know you can you can win games that way, 102 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: you know, in this league, and and there's games when 103 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: you know, yeah, you're gonna have to put the ball 104 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: in the air thirty five plus times, you know, something 105 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: like that to win, because there's there's teams that you know, 106 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: can score every. 107 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Time they touched the football. 108 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: But I think it's proof to our players that you know, 109 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: we take care of our business. 110 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: Then then yeah, you have a chance to win games. 111 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 6: And then real quick Trevor last week last Thursday indicated 112 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 6: that you thought he was going to at least get 113 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 6: on the field and limited capacity. Did he have some 114 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 6: sort of setback or just realized he couldn't throw yet. 115 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 3: No, he didn't have a set back, just you know, 116 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: he wasn't there as far as you know, throwing the 117 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: football at the end of the week, so just kind 118 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: of kept him insight. He did come out for some 119 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: of the team stuff and it was around for that, 120 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: but just just wanted to get extra extra time in 121 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: the in the training room before he. 122 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: Came out. 123 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 7: And Doug Josha said after the game last night that 124 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 7: last week was by far the best week the preparation 125 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 7: you guys have had all year. 126 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 4: Do you agree with that? 127 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 7: And and how can you ensure that that level kind 128 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 7: of keeps that well, stays at that level going forward, 129 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 7: you know, when you're basically playing win or you're you're done. 130 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was one of our better weeks. 131 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, last week. I put a lot of that too, on. 132 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: On on the coaches, the individual coaches right preparing their 133 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: players for practice and getting them getting them ready for uh, 134 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: you know, obviously for the game. But you know, the 135 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 3: players have a lot of pride and and they take 136 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: that stuff to heart and they you know, they understand 137 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: they need to they need to practice better right and 138 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: and and eliminate some of the mistakes. And if you 139 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 3: can do it in practice, then then chances are you're 140 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 3: going to eliminate the mistakes in game. 141 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: So, uh, it was a good week. 142 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 3: And this week we got to have, you know, just 143 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 3: the same type of focus and intensity and and. 144 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: And be intentional with with everything that we're doing. 145 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 7: And back to Christian real quick when he initially went down, 146 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 7: was this the best case scenario you could have hoped 147 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 7: for is that he could potentially be back after missing 148 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 7: four weeks, because I know the initial reports could be 149 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 7: six to eight weeks, depending on you know, the severity 150 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 7: of the injury. 151 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it was definitely a bad injury for 152 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 3: him and obviously bad for for our offense.

And Evan's a big part of 176 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: our system, and and you know, we try to find 177 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: ways to get him, get him the ball every week. 178 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 3: But you know, it's a credit though to those to 179 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 3: those guys. 180 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: For. 181 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 3: You know, the type of teammates they are, leaders, they are, 182 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: how hard they work on and off the football field, 183 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: and and and they set a good, good example for 184 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 3: the rest of your team. 185 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: Thanks Doug, you bet. 186 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 7: All right. 187 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 4: We're gonna go to Mia and then John Shipley. 188 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 8: Hey, Doug. A bit of a surprise I think for 189 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 8: some to hear Tyler Shaltley announced as the starting left guard. 190 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 8: I know, obviously Walker and Azra a little bang up 191 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 8: went into that decision and looking at the health of 192 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 8: those guys, but also how Tyler played. How do you 193 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 8: prepare heading into this final week of the regular season. 194 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: Well, I think I think you just said it right there. 195 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: Walker and Ezra were a little banged up and we 196 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 3: needed to get them some rest and if we could, 197 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 3: you know, and Tyler's done a great job and really 198 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 3: done a nice job when he's in there. So you know, 199 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: we didn't feel like there was any kind of letdown 200 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: or let up, let off, whatever you may want to 201 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 3: call it. We felt good, you know, both Walker and Ezra. 202 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 3: Walker played at the end of the game when when 203 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: Cam you know, was was you know, removed from the game, 204 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 3: you know, but both those guys, it was good. It 205 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 3: was good for us as a team. We got through, 206 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: you know, we got through Sunday. Now we can prepare 207 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: this week and we'll see moving forward, you know, if 208 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: it's Ezra back there, or if it's Walker back there, 209 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: or if it's Titler, you know, and just really the 210 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: health of the guys is the biggest concern at this time. 211 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 8: And just since you brought up Cam number one, have 212 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 8: we heard anything from the league as far as any 213 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 8: sort of disciplinary action, And then number two to the 214 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 8: on field part of it, A lot has been made 215 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 8: of course about how the team. I think it's now 216 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 8: seven and one when Cam does play. But I think 217 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 8: what's interesting is so much of the run success was 218 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 8: actually running off to the right. So if you could 219 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 8: just speak to what Cam brought, but also maybe some 220 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 8: of the other guys that stepped up in the run game. 221 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, first thing, we have not heard anything yet from 222 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 3: the league on Cam, and I'm assuming that that he'll 223 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: definitely hear something this week pretty pretty quickly on that. 224 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: But it was good to have Cam back. 225 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 3: He he brings a level of excitement, enthusiasm, physicality to 226 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 3: the offensive line, you know. I think too, there's some 227 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 3: there was some rust with him, much like guys like Tyson, 228 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 3: you know, getting back out there, there was some there 229 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: were some plays that that that just weren't Cam like 230 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: you know type plays. But listen, he battled through it 231 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 3: and and for the most part played up, you know, 232 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: played a big part. And then as far as you know, 233 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: plays to the right. I think I think sometimes you 234 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: go in and you know, when you look at the 235 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: run game too, you think, Okay, who's better on the 236 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 3: backside cut off blocks as opposed to maybe the front side, 237 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: you know, and things of that nature go into your 238 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 3: run game a little bit and he does a nice 239 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 3: job with his athleticism to cut people off on the 240 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: back side. So it's just kind of the nature of 241 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: how the run game went yesterday and kind of week 242 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 3: to week as to who is going to have kind 243 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 3: of the hot hand, either the left side or the 244 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: right side. 245 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 8: Awesome, thank you. 246 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: Bet. 247 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 4: Doug was yesterday with Travis breaking that long run late. 248 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: Was that kind of an example what you've been talking about, 249 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: sticking with the run game and eventually something good will 250 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: come from it. 251 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and that was right there at the 252 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: beginning of the third I think it was our first 253 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: drive in the third quarter, had that big run for 254 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: the touchdown. But you know, that was a little bit 255 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: too about a halftime adjustment and what we had seen 256 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: in the first half from Carolina defensively, and and how 257 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 3: we could you know, maybe utilize some of the perimeter 258 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: runs and Travis is really good at that, you know, 259 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 3: and just but again, that's just the thing when you 260 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 3: stick to the run game, you know, like I said, 261 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: it may not be pretty. I think we had twenty 262 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 3: seven or twenty eight yards in the first half. It's 263 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 3: not pretty, but then things begin to open up in 264 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: the second half. And you get those longer runs that 265 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: that really help and spark your offense. So it's something 266 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: that you know, sometimes coaches, we get a little impatient, 267 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: you know, with the run game. But it was a 268 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: great example of us, you know, sticking with it yesterday. 269 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: Thanks Tod. 270 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 4: Yep, all right, we're gonna go to Ashley and then Brent. 271 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 9: Thanks hey. Coach with guys like cam Devon, Hamilton, Tyson 272 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 9: and now maybe Kirk, does it feel like some of 273 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 9: the big puzzle pieces are coming together at the perfect 274 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 9: time and does that come with any challenges at all? 275 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 7: If any? 276 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: I do think that things are beginning. 277 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 3: The guys are getting healthy, which is good this time 278 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: of year, especially with the opportunity that we have this weekend. 279 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: And and so yeah, it's it's good to have It's 280 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 3: good to have these guys, you know, back in the lineup, 281 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: you know, and it's on I guess on the flip 282 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: side too, is unfortunate that you know, Jamal is going 283 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: to be missed and not only offensively but also in 284 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 3: the kicking game right there, and and and I think 285 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: the challenge really is just getting getting guys like Tyson 286 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: and and if Christian has a chance to play. You know, 287 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: they've had they've had four games of non you know, 288 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: not playing, and and it's just that rust and getting 289 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 3: back into kind of the game shape and and and 290 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: you know, the speed of the game just a little bit. 291 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: That's kind of the challenge. 292 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: How you're gonna you know, get him into your offense 293 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: or defense and and you know, incorporate. 294 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: Them at your game plan. 295 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 3: But you know, but overall, yes, it's uh, it's a 296 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 3: good time to get you know, get these guys healthy. 297 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: Thanks coach, you bet. 298 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 6: Uh. 299 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: We we see the physical side of the game so much. 300 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 2: But you guys have mentioned so many times about agnew 301 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: and and Kirk, how smart they are. How much do 302 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: you miss guys like that from an IQ standpoint, what 303 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: you guys are trying to do on the field, whether 304 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: that's offense or defense. 305 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: When you lose players like that, yeah, I mean it's tough. 306 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 3: It's tough because you know, and it's nothing against the 307 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: young player. They just haven't had the experience of playing 308 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 3: as much at this level. And guys like Christian and 309 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 3: Tyson they've had a lot of games and they can 310 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: see things and they can anticipate. 311 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: And Jamal, as you mentioned, Jamal you know. 312 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 3: He can see things defensively and anticipate, you know, a 313 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: route or something of that nature. And it's it's it's 314 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: where your quarterback is. 315 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: It's the level of of uh, you know, kind of 316 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: the brain power. 317 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: Of where your quarterback is a little bit with that 318 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: and and being on the same page with each other, 319 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 3: and and you know, it's just it's just the growing 320 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 3: the growing up and the growing pains of getting guys 321 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 3: like Parker, you know, more opportunity, right, a lot as 322 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: you coax, more opportunity, uh, Tim Jones, more opportunities you know, 323 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: in these football games, because these are great opportunities for them, 324 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 3: you know, to to continue to showcase and and show us. 325 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: What they can do. 326 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's I think it is critical when when 327 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 3: guys like Christian you know, offensively or are out there 328 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: because they they can definitely be on the same page 329 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 3: with your quarterback. 330 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: And a little fun one here, maybe better than Cam's 331 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: helmet toss? 332 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: Was was your challenge?
