1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: All right, the injury for the game, um Garoppolo be out, UM,

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell questionable, UM Ambry Thomas questionable. Go ahead. What

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: did you see from Christian today? Um? He looked full

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: go didn't like to get out in practice at all.

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: He was out there in pre practice an individual. I think, so,

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: who are you guys limited? He obviously suffered in his

7
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: coin injury. You know, the end of the game against

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: the Alice UM sometime in there is there a question

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: there or statement, oh, I thought you had to ask

10
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: sorry that he said he did. I'm not sure I

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: didn't ask him. It was on one of his UM

12
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: plays though. Question all right, I'll think of an answer.

13
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: When the when there was this talk at the end

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: of the year that the league may be thinking about

15
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: going to neutral sites for title games. Obviously this week

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: you would want that, But or would you rather see

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: it stayed the same and have the top seeds have

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: the home games? Yeah? I would. I would not like that.

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: That's that's what that's what you work for in the year.

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: It's a big reward. It's big reward to get that

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: by week and it's a huge war reward to play

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: at home and UM, I hope it stays that way. Conversely,

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: if you're the road team, is there something something special

24
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: about that if you go into the other team's home

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: team and win, I mean, would that be lost to Yes? Yeah,

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean there's pluses advantages to both. I think there's

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: more to playing at home because it's the crowd noise.

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: But um, it's always nice to go on go on

29
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: the road to with your crew and rally together and

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: go into a place where you know no one wants

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: you there except your your team, and um, that can

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: be really fun and inspiring. Also, there's some report it's

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: today yesterday about the Damiko getting high up on the

34
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: list of a couple of teams. Do you have any

35
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: time into you know, to where things stand with the

36
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: Vigo and the Broncos and the Texas. Yeah, I got

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good idea. Yeah, he lets us know. He

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: lets us know a lot season. Um, I mean I

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: don't think any decisions have been made, so I just

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: know he has opportunities. L has he handled these last

41
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. He's been great. Um, he's really enjoyed

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: this time. I mean he's done it. Did a hell

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: of job in those first two games. He hasn't Mr

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Beat any of his preparation and stuff. I know he

45
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: enjoyed Thursday night and um Friday night getting those interviews

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: on his off time, and um this week it's been

47
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: all work. Now it's off time that will be on

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: a plane, so I can't get interviewed there. When he's

49
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: out there, he's seeking more in contact with me, more

50
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: than he was last year. No, I think he's always

51
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: the same. He's as violent of a runner. So we

52
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: started out calling him Draino because he knows he always

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: goes to the right hole. But that we also call

54
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: him the trash man too because when he's out there,

55
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: sounds like trash cans are banging around in the alley.

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: So he likes to run into people violently when he

57
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: has nowhere to go, and so makes him special back

58
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: styles that kind of contrast each other. Ah. Yeah, I

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: think they're really I mean, I think Christian is great

60
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: at hitting the right holes too, and when there isn't

61
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: a hole there, he never turns things down and Hope

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: put his paths into people too. Um. But I do

63
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: think that they're really good mix of each other in

64
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: their styles. Christian, Um, it's in the CMC we haven't

65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: given him a nick name yet. Yeah, you get Yeah,

66
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: we haven't given him one yet. You think that enables

67
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: him to when he does miss significant time, when he

68
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: gets back, it's like he was never away. Um, I mean,

69
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: I think running backs are a little similar like that.

70
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's and I think it takes time a

71
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: little bit with running routes and things like that, just

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: of rust. But um, when he gets back and he's healthy,

73
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: he he knows how to run the ball. I think

74
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: it's exactly how he looked in high school, I mean

75
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: in college. I'm sure that's how he looked when he

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: was in high school, and that's how he looks in

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: the league. And he's got the ability to do it.

78
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: He's got the mindset to do it. I think it's

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: always hard when, Um, you start out the you missed

80
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: so much of the offseason because of the surgeries and

81
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: stuff he had. Then he got that bad injury in

82
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: the first game, and then it just gets tough because

83
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: when you don't get a practice slot stuff, it's just

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: hard for your body to take the way that he plays.

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: And he goes in and goes hard as can be,

86
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: Like he's never missed a beat. Um, hopefully next year

87
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: in the offseason, stuff of a little bit better luck

88
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: to where he can be a little bit better base

89
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: and UM, help him do what he does when he plays,

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: but help him do it a little bit more kind

91
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: of question. Players up the importance he was good ahead?

92
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: Obviously wow behind is a talking point, you know. I mean,

93
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: I think that that's our goal every single week. You

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: always want to get out to a good start and stuff.

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: But anytime you go against a really good offense and

96
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: a defense, and especially when that defense is um starts

97
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: with their pass rush, I mean, then it becomes even

98
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: that much more important. So UM, you've got to be UM.

99
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's always your goal. It's your goal every week.

100
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: It's an extremely important one this week, but UM, there's

101
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: also other ways to win if you don't get off

102
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: to a great start too. So you want everything to

103
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: go ideal. But however, this game, UM is dictated. UM,

104
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: I feel we got the group that can adjust to

105
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: whatever as week. UM you talked about showing the cowways

106
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: games the team know how important was that easier this week?

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: Have you used any motivation from maybe the two last

108
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: NCY championships or eas enough motivation to find that you

109
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: have that to get UM. Now, I'm always do a

110
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: little stuff. Today. UM, we watched the two thousand two

111
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I believe it was UM NFC championship game with the

112
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: Bucks in Philly. UM. That was awesome to watch. It

113
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: was a little bit boring because they had thirty three

114
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: runs forty five yards UM, one point five a carry UM,

115
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: and had twenty six points UM. So it was UM.

116
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's defense was awesome in that game, and UM

117
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: Rende Barber. I mean, I always knew how great Rende was, UM,

118
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: but that game was as good as it gets. And

119
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: that's why my mind will be blown if he's not

120
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fames him. Yeah, running it back

121
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: like this, the only pointed at Barber. It's cool. He was, Yeah,

122
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: he was. He He came into my office right before

123
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: when I was going through it to get prepared to

124
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: show the team, and he was sat down and enjoyed

125
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: watching it for about ten seconds and he got up

126
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: and was pacing the room and he didn't even realize that.

127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on with you right now? And

128
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: he's like, why, what do you mean? I'm like, he goes, oh, yeah,

129
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: this brings back some feelings a team that went in. Yeah,

130
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: you just like to show people the atmosphere and stuff.

131
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: I know that was the last game at the vet UM,

132
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: but I I just there's parallel. You go pick a

133
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: game and almost any time and you see parallels and everything.

134
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: UM players are all the same, different shoulder pads a

135
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: little bit the last time we watched when we went

136
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: to the eight two games, much different shoulder pads, but

137
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: they're all great athletes who play at a high level.

138
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Rules are a little bit different, but it's all the

139
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: same stuff. And I love showing guys to make people

140
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: aware of the moment there and now, because sometimes people

141
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: don't realize that until they're a little bit older. All right,

142
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
