1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,239 Speaker 1: Julian, you guys have been I think as we speak 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: it might be number one in the NFL. And third 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: down defense tells some of the reasons why you guys 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: been so successful in that area. Yeah, I think one 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: is just players being being kind of gritty, uh, and 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: making a point to get off the field. That's what 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: we try to pride ourselves on, especially in the secondary, 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: and so we've been just battling. Honestly, hasn't been, you know, 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: pretty or perfect, but we've been battling. And then secondly, 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: it's a tribute to week Martindale and the staff in 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: the scheme that we've been running. Um, you know, he 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: he comes up with great schemes for, you know, the 13 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: whole game, but third down especially, and so we take 14 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: pard of that as defense. Julian, if you don't mind, 15 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: is that something that wink is emphasized on Day One? Yeah, 16 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: for sure. I think. You know, when you look at 17 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: the areas of the game you need to win, you know, 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: he pen points, you know, third down, uh, the red area, 19 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: and then closing out half, so like two minutes, and 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: so those are just like emphasis points for all defenses. 21 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: But wink has been, you know, preach on that, harping 22 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: on it since O t S. thank you, Paul Shorts. 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: Hey Julian, Hey Paul, are you doing good? Good, UM, 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: a couple of players yesterday we're mentioning, and they've mentioned 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: over the past, you know, a week or so, about 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,639 Speaker 1: this team, and especially this coaching staff, being unafraid to fail. 27 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: MM HMM. What ex athlete does that mean? Yeah, that's 28 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: a I guess it's a good way to put it, 29 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: I think. Uh, yeah, you know, for a team, use 30 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: want guys to send it, you want guys to play fast, 31 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: play free, uh, with without worrying about being perfect. I 32 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: think that's something that you guys, uh, you know, might 33 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: have fall into, might have fallen victim too in recent years. Um, 34 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: and so now it's just, you know, tough from top down, 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: and it's coaches to being just open and willing to 36 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: send it and make mistakes, you know, because there's you know, 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: there's winning and there's learning. So, uh, that's how we 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: approach it now. Um, obviously that doesn't give everyone carte 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: blanches just to you know, do whatever they want. And 40 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: if you play, do you have do you have maybe 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: an example or two from maybe yesterday's game that would 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: indicate to me what not being afraid to fail? Was 43 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: it your blitz? Maybe? And sack? Was it another play 44 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: when you said that's what I mean by being not 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: afraid to fail, that's what happened on the field. Yeah, 46 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: what was that term you use in the beginning? Cart 47 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: Cart Blanche, carte blanche, carte blunt. You off. If you 48 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: have carte blanche, that means you have freedom. Oh so 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: if Weink, says, if Weink, says Julian, I give you 50 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: carte blanche on every play to blitz. That means you 51 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: you can Um, you can blitz on every place. So 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: I imagine he's not saying you got carte blanche. I 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: must have missed that English class, and Notre Dame. Uh. 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: That one lodes me. But GET CART Bloch, car branches 55 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: all friends. UH So. Yeah, I mean, I think a 56 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: good example. You know, obviously got the SACKE. That's a 57 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: big play, but it was an earlier first quarter. You know, 58 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: McCaffrey caught a screen and I was able to bring 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: him down for a game of maybe like five or six, 60 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: maybe seven uh, and on that play I ended up 61 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: like I was on my rear end. I got I play. 62 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: I fell on the ground. I just playing it simple, Um, 63 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: but you just get up and you just play free, like, 64 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, maybe in the past I might have thought like, 65 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like they're gonna hate that on film 66 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: a lot I felt. But there's none of that. You know, 67 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: you you get up and you make a play because 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: the team's depending on you just to really play loose 69 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: and play free. Thank you. You have card blanched to 70 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: continue this. Appreciate it. Yep again, Hey, Julian, I'll try 71 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: not to say anything that you know goes outside your 72 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: Notre Dame education here. Um, when you've got like a 73 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: doory who just basically walks down another team's where there's 74 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: no one receiver wherever he's match up with, what does 75 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: that do for you guys as a defense? That's that's crucial. 76 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: You know, his role for us has been very important. Uh, 77 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, we we have expressed how important he is, 78 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, personal levels, you know from coaching perspective, because 79 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: he's he's our guy, he's our you know, he's all 80 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: right now, he's in the Moon Corner and it's important 81 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: to have a guy like that with just who's playing 82 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: the game right now at a very high level, and 83 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: so what he's doing for us has been, you know, 84 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: you can see in the tape. It's just been it's 85 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: been really great stuff. And so and it was his birthday, 86 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: so he had a day. So it's a good day 87 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: for him and he doesn't really get that attention that, 88 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: you know what, the first round pick everything like that 89 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: big contract. He doesn't get that attention. Do you think 90 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: maybe that will start to change? Or why do you 91 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: think that might be the case? I'm not sure. I 92 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: think you know, I'm a real big believer and you know, 93 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: he's just good. He's he goes about his work. Um, 94 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of noise, he doesn't do anything extracurriculars. 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: There's he's just about his work and he's been successful 96 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: in this league. I'm not sure why he gets that 97 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: label or why he has in the past. Um, but 98 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: we know we have, thankfully. And so yeah, he's on 99 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: our team and he's a he's a great guy. Thanks. 100 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, Tom Canavan. But Julian, how you doing? Hey, 101 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: how are you doing good? How do you got? I mean, 102 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: if you've heard the fans watch the TVs and things 103 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: like that, how do you guys keep from getting a 104 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: big hit. I mean, even if the odds of makers 105 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: have favored you against Dallas this week. I mean, I 106 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: was gonna say should you take a lazy fair approach 107 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,119 Speaker 1: to football? But I don't want to get into friends, 108 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: but go ahead. And how do you keep from getting 109 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: a big hit? Yeah, honestly, it's just, you know, today's 110 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: a crucial day for us. We got in, we we 111 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: made a lot of ructions that we needed to make, UM, 112 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: and we're gonna just have a good week of practice. 113 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: That's all we can focus on, all we can do. 114 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy to look far in the future. 115 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: We've seen many teams, you know, in NFL history that 116 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: you know, start a certain wave in it's a certain way. 117 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: It's the NFL. Things can happen any week, Um, and 118 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: so our baggest game of the year is this week 119 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: because it's the next game. Simply play, Um, and so 120 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: all that outside stuff, I think was day. Wall has 121 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: done a great job of emphasizing what's important. Um, you 122 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: know he he harped on it today with us and we, 123 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: I think it's a team understand like we you know, 124 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: we won two games. I know it's you know, it's 125 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: a little different than it has been in the past, 126 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: the past few years. But in the day it's two 127 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: games and we wanna, you know, stack and just go. 128 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Want to know next week we have time for three more. 129 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: We'll go to Tom Rock. Well, you know, I have 130 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: two quick ones if I can. The first one I 131 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: don't want to take away from your own new found 132 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: pass rushing skills, but what is it gonna mean to 133 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: this defense to have Cavon and zes back? Yeah, there 134 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: was conversation about putting me at defensive end, but I 135 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: let the young guys go after it and, you know, 136 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: selfless guy, um, but it's huge having them back. I'm 137 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: excited to see what Thibodeau, you know, he brings to 138 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: this team. He you know, he's a stud athlete and 139 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: so it's good to you know, possibly be getting him 140 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: back and I think, as he's Alari, is a fantastic player. 141 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: He's a guy who's just he goes about his work, 142 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: kind of what I mentioned about the door earlier. He's 143 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: a guy who just is quiet but just gets after 144 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: it and so, you know, potentially getting these guys back 145 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: with us is huge. Um, they're just studs and so 146 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: it means a lot for our what we do as 147 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: a defense. My second one was about, you know, coach 148 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Gable has been telling us, I'm sure he's been telling 149 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: you the same thing, that it's gonna be competition and whoever, 150 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: whoever competes the best and and does the best of 151 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: practices is gonna play in the game. A lot of 152 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: coaches say that. Did you? Did you believe it until 153 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: he saw these lineups going going through these first two weeks? Yeah, so, 154 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, I could you know, when something and stuff 155 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: like that, you could see it as lip service. I guess. 156 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: Um like, okay, yeah, we get it. There's you know, 157 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: there's certain things that are also in effect, but you know, 158 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: he stayed trued his word and that's what it is. 159 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: I mean we go on guys to be prepared.

He's staying fair. Thank you. Thank you, 168 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Don Levy. Julian, what did you think of Dame 169 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: faltain's performance from first play, recovering a fumble, and if 170 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: you guys said anything to him about it all the 171 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: way through the rest of the game? Yeah, oh my Gosh, 172 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: that's uh quite the start to uh a career. I 173 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: couldn't be more happy for happier for him. Uh. He's 174 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: a guy who's uh came in his rookie has done 175 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: everything that we've asked him to do, everything I've asked 176 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: him to do from a rookie perspective, Um, and he's 177 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: stay prepared, he stayed locked in mentally, which is so 178 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: tough to do when you're like really young, um, and 179 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,599 Speaker 1: he was able to us to get him on the 180 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: ball this weekend. That's how I couldn't be happy from 181 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: and he's gonna do a lot for us. He needs 182 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: to do a lot for us, Um, quite frankly, and 183 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: so I think that's what's expected of him. Uh. He 184 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: knows that, but I think the future is bright with him. 185 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: You played in a three safety rotation, whether it was 186 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: you and Jabriel, mckinney, Um Logan. Now you guys looked 187 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: like played three different safeties yesterday with you, mckinney Belton. 188 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: What is the potential for that group and what did 189 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: it allow you to do, because it looked like you 190 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: and mckinney were almost playing inside linebackers? Is that like 191 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: part of the job of the safety in today's NFL 192 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: to have to be almost like, uh, like a Swiss 193 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: army knife? Yeah, I mean, assuming that's in your noted 194 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: and education. Yes, so, sorry now, yeah, I'm more familiar 195 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: with duct tape, Um, but uh, yeah, I mean in 196 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: today's game, I would say that's just, honestly what you saw. 197 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: And you know, playing in the box and downlow. From 198 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: a week to week perspective, that's just the Christian McCaffrey effect. Um, 199 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: we needed speed on the field, UM, to account for 200 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: what he can do with the ball in his hands. 201 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: And so that's what that was. And you know, we're 202 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: gonna switch it up every single week, Um, depending on 203 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: what puts us in the in the best position to succeed. 204 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: And Yeah, I've been a part of three safety rotations 205 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: in the past. At the end of the day, you 206 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: use one of your best players on the field and 207 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: you know link does a great job of playing two 208 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: players strength, which not every coach does. Uh, and so 209 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: we have the freedom to know that we're getting put 210 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: in situations where we can't succeed, and so that's what 211 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: that is. Thank you. Thank you. Last Fun here Bob 212 00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: broke over. Truly, what, if anything, in the PRIEF time 213 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: that Cooper rush was there, did you learn about him 214 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: and and is there a little different feeling now this 215 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: week that a division rival is on the doctor to 216 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: play this week? Yeah, Cooper, Cooper, I just remember him 217 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: being a it's a great guy, honestly, off the field. Um, 218 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 1: obviously he wasn't, you know, starting games for us, but 219 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: he was a great, great guy in the locker room, Um, 220 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: and so I thought I can say about him in 221 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: terms of his character. He was. He was a good dude. 222 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: And UH. When it comes to this week, though, you know, 223 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: it's it's a divisional game. There's animosity between these two teams, Um, 224 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: and so it's going to be an exciting one. Obviously 225 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: it's Monday night. You know, it's at home. Our home 226 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: crowd was really was really rocking Sunday, and so it's 227 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: gonna be exciting game. But with all that involved, it's 228 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: important that we maintain who we are and we're just 229 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: a grimy team, I'm gonna be honest with you, or 230 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: it's a grimmy team. Who knows. It's never gonna be easy, 231 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: but we're gonna try to find out a way to 232 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: win Um and so that's what this week will be. Obviously, 233 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: we'll get on the game plan and have the best 234 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: plan for them, but it's just another game in terms 235 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: of concepts. Uh, with a little heightened excitement for Monday night.
