1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Hey, Josh, are you good? Chris? How are you doing awesome?

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: I was just wondering how you'd categorize this season for

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: you in terms of, you know, the challenges or stress

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: or joy that you've gotten from all these foundational players

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: come into your offense or rookie quarterback? What is it?

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: What's it been like to you? Maybe compared to previous seasons.

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: I always kind of go into each year, you know,

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: refreshed and renewed UM. You know, we knowing that each

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: year is going to be a different set of challenges,

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: a different set of circumstances UM, and a different team.

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: And I think this this year's team UM has provided

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: a lot of new energy UM. And I think that

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: UM the ability to really pour into them, you know,

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: and and try to create a foundation for a lot

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: of them in our in our offense and our culture

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: here in New England, and then see them take to it,

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: adapt to it, UM and and really grow and learn UM,

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: you know, how how they fit into the bigger piece

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: of the puzzle. UM has been really a great experience

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: for all of us. M. I kind of refrain from

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: comparing years one versus another because I've had so many

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: I've been blessed to be a part of a lot

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: of great teams and a lot of great groups to

24
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: be around. So, um, this one's just a it's it's

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: another group that I'm really cherishing every day and every

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to be with them. Um, you can tell, I'm

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: sure by talking to a lot of them and seeing

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: us on the sideline and during the course of the games,

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: how much fun and joy we're having with one another.

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's a great component of team sports.

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: And it's obviously, um, you know you you kind of

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: feel better about getting up and going to work every

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: day when that's the atmosphere going into So again, blessed

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: to be part of this group and excited to get

35
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: ready on the last four games. Here the next question

36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: evlaz are followed by Mike Grease, Hey, Josh, how you

37
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: doing good? Evan how are you? I'm doing well. Thanks.

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you from a game planned perspective,

39
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: Indianapolis just playing Tampa Bay and that passing game, although

40
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: the personnel is very different, obviously, um, does it help

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: you at all prepare to see a similar offense from

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: a passing game perspective go up against the Colts defense

43
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: before you guys play Indie on Saturday. I think anytime

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: you anytime you prepare for an opponent, you try to

45
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: you try to pick the teams that they've played that

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: most resemble your scheme and or personnel. Some weeks it's

47
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: difficult to do that based on the stretch of games

48
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: somebody might have just you know, finished other weeks, it

49
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: might fall a little bit more in your favor. But

50
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: I would say there's definitely a few games that you know,

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: personnel wise, they use, let's cause, similar groups to the

52
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: ones we use, and so you get a little bit

53
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: more out of that tape based on formations you might

54
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: be using that they're using, and and so on. The

55
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: challenge with this team is they they kind of can

56
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: adapt in morph their defense from one week to the

57
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: next the way they see fit to stop your personnel

58
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: and your scheme. So even though you might be looking

59
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: at an offensive team that you know used personnel or

60
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: formations that are similar to the ones you're going to use,

61
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: they may defend you a little differently, and so they

62
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: kind of force you to get ready for everything, and

63
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: they have such a unique way of deploying that during

64
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: the course of the game with their disguise and their

65
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: late rotation and the way that they align and can

66
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: play you know, a different style of you know defense

67
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: from snap to snap depending on how they want to

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: call it. So you know, there's some advantages to it,

69
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: to answer your question, but I think there's also some

70
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: things you just got to be careful assuming you're going

71
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: to get defended the same way. All right, Thank you.

72
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: Next question Mike Greece, Father Mark Daniels, Thanks DC, Josh.

73
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: You were just talking about conceptually some of what the

74
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: Colts do defensively. I was curious, what is your connection

75
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: with Matt Eberflus like and like their personnel what stands

76
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: out to you? Yeah, Matt, I've known Matt for a

77
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: number of years. You know, Matt was with Rob and

78
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Eric when he was in Cleveland and then was again

79
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: with him down in Dallas. So just you know, kind

80
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: of meeting people through you know, um, similar acquaintances. So UM,

81
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: great person, really good football coach, does a really good

82
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: job with their unit. Um, and you know, their their

83
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: defense I would say is probably you know, it's as

84
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: good a group as we've played that's playing really well

85
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: right now, which I think is important. You know, it

86
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what we all did in September, it doesn't

87
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: matter what we did in August, and sometimes it doesn't

88
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: matter what we did in November. Um, they're playing really well,

89
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: and they there's a few things that definitively stand out

90
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: as you watch them. Um, i'd say number one, they

91
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: got good players at all three levels of the defense

92
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: that create disruptive plays. Certainly, we won't play a defensive

93
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: lineman that's more disruptive than Buckner. Um. You know, this

94
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: guy is you know, whatever superlative you want to use,

95
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: you can use it. He's big, he plays with a

96
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: great motor. He's long. It's hard to you know, it's

97
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: hard to keep him blocked. Even when you do block him.

98
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: He's got great quickness. He can win inside or outside.

99
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: They'll line him up and move him in different spots

100
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: and third down. So this guy's extremely disruptive player up front. Leonard,

101
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: you know at the linebacking corps, is a special player,

102
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: great instincts, great range, really long, as probably as good

103
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: of a zone linebacker in terms of being you got

104
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: to be careful when you're throwing the ball near him

105
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: because he gets his hands on a lot of balls

106
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: and He's incredibly disruptive at punching the ball out, So

107
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: anytime he's near the football, I mean there's a chance

108
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: that he's going to get it off you when you

109
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: watch him on tape. And Kenny Moore, I mean, we

110
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: had him here for a little bit. This guy is

111
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: really talented player, a unique so we call him the

112
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: star position inside and the nickel. He's in the middle

113
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 1: of everything, you know. He he's disruptive in their zones.

114
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: He reads the quarterback very well. He's a ball hawk.

115
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: He gets his hands on way too many balls for

116
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: my liking. He's just an incredibly instinctive player with great

117
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: quickness in a short area that can really disrupt, you know,

118
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: things in their scheme. You know, they it's his own defense.

119
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: More than not. They will place a man to man

120
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: in situations and give you some of that as a

121
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: change up. But they usually have eleven pairs of eyeballs

122
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: on the quarterback end or the ball carrier. And I

123
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: know I've heard Matt talk about it, and you see

124
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: it on film. They take advantage of offensive mistakes better

125
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: than everybody else in the league because if you make one,

126
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: their entire defense sees it, and so if there's a

127
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: tip ball, a drop ball, a bobble, a poor read,

128
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: missed route conversion, poor depth on a route, terrible spacing

129
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: and zone you know, in your pattern, they just they

130
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: all see the mistake at the same time, and then

131
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: there's five guys around the football. And I think that's

132
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: a big reason why they've turned the ball over twenty

133
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: nine times this year, which is certainly the best in

134
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: the league. So, you know, and and when you watch

135
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: him play on the road and at home, like there's

136
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of difference. You know, they play

137
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: really well on the road, they play really well at home.

138
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: It's a sign of a good unit and a good defense.

139
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: And Matt certainly has him playing really really well and

140
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: this is going to be a huge challenge Saturday. Next question,

141
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: Mark Daniels called, like Chris Ryan, Hey, Josh, hope you

142
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: had a good bye weekend. Thanks Mark YouTube. On the culture,

143
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, I mean this time flies and it's

144
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: kind of crazy me think obviously there was a chance

145
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: that you were the guy leading that organization. It's it's

146
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: been a while since that. I was wondering, what have

147
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: you learned about your yourself? You know, since that situation.

148
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: How has you know Josh Vadaniels today, How was he

149
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: different from you know, Josh M. Daniels back then? If

150
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: at all? UM, I think every year I've tried to learn,

151
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: UM and grow as a coach and as a person.

152
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: And UM, you know, you you make decisions, UM you

153
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: know in life and UM and in your career that

154
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: you feel like are the best decisions for you and

155
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: your family. And UM. Certainly what happened then and UM

156
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: you know you you move forward and you do everything

157
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: you can within your power to make those decisions the

158
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: right ones. And That's what I've tried to do every day.

159
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: And so I certainly have no regrets about what what

160
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: has transpired since then. I know they've done a great job.

161
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: They have a tremendous staff. Coach right does a great job.

162
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard's obviously tremendous in his role, and what they

163
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: do in the organization is is pretty special. So UM,

164
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, I I've learned a lot being here. This

165
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: is a great place to be. UM. I learned from

166
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 1: Bill daily weekly, UM, you know, under his guidance, and

167
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: it really challenges me to try to improve each year.

168
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: And I've tried to do that myself, and UM, that's

169
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: all that that any of us can really do. But

170
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: very fortunate to be where I'm at looking forward to

171
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: this week. Appreciate it, Josh. Go back to Chris Ryan

172
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: and Mike Chriece. Chris, your line was giving us some feedback,

173
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: so just mute after your question. Sure, sorry about that, Um, Josh,

174
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: I just had one more question about UM obviously going

175
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: into the dome this weekend to play. It's long been

176
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: said that it's challenging for teams in ideal weather situations

177
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: to go and playing Fox Borod. I'm curious, is it

178
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: ideal for you to to go in and play at

179
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: a dome or is there some things that take place

180
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: that perhaps you know or unseen that make it challenging

181
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: for you or is it truly ideal conditions? Certainly, the

182
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: conditions in terms of throwing the ball, handling the ball

183
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: will be should be ideal. Um. You know, there won't

184
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: be moisture, obviously, there's not going to be any wind,

185
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: um you know, and the temperature should be regulated. So

186
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: in that regard, it's and it should be h pretty

187
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: docile in that regard. But anytime you go inside, UM,

188
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, and and play in a dome. There's there's

189
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: certainly a noise factor that is gonna play a role

190
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: in in your preparation, especially when you're the offense. UM

191
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: you know which we which you know, that's what we'll

192
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: be doing. So, um, you know, there's going to be

193
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: an element of using the silent cadence. Um. There's always

194
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: challenges involved in you know, just your operation. Will practice

195
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: and prepare for that all week long like we normally

196
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: do for all the way games. Um, you know, and

197
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: try to do a good job of um you know,

198
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: eliminating or limiting uh, you know, any issues penalties, snap counts,

199
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, too many timeouts being used, et cetera. Uh,

200
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: due to the operation. But this is a noisy place

201
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: to play. Most of the places we play are. This

202
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: will be another challenge, combined with the fact that this

203
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: is a really good unit where we're playing against. And

204
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: last question will be Philip Perry, Hey Josh, how's it going?

205
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Hey Phil? How are you doing good? I came in

206
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: a little late, was getting some good insight from Mike Pellegrino,

207
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: so I apologize if I repeat anything from it. Was great.

208
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: It was gonna learning a lot, uh, I wanted to

209
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: ask you just how how Mac kind of handled that

210
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: game the other night Monday and the in the aftermath

211
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: of it. You know, quarterback only throws three times. He

212
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: even said after I mean, he was all smiles, but

213
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: he said after him, it was a little bit of

214
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: a weird experience. Um, how did you see him handle that?

215
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: And do you feel like if things had to go

216
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: the other way for you guys, whether it's the score

217
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: or the conditions or what and and things had to

218
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: be reversed, how much confidence you'd have in that kind

219
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: of plan to put it in the air as much

220
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: as you guys ran at the other night, Max Great.

221
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, I think that the number one thing that

222
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: I could say on him is that he cares most

223
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: about winning. And this is not for personal statistics or

224
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: glory or anything like that. So I think that's why

225
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: you have a lot of people feeling the way they

226
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: do about him as a person, as a young guy

227
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: on our team. So no, certainly, the most important thing

228
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: was that we were able to win the game. And yeah,

229
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, circumstances and the situation during the

230
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: course of each game really dictates how you know, the

231
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: game flows. And then how in turn you call the game.

232
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: At least it does for me. I can't speak for

233
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: anybody else. I just know that I'm keenly aware, after

234
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, eighteen years of doing this, of how the

235
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: game is kind of take form and if the game

236
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: requires us as you've seen, as the game requires us

237
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: to throw it fifty sometimes like it did against Tampa

238
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: this year, and we didn't run it very well, and

239
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: we didn't run it very much either, then we were

240
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: willing to do that, you know, because that was what

241
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: was required based on circumstance and situation in this game. Um,

242
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, could we have thrown it more one hundred percent,

243
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: no question about it, um. And that that's on me,

244
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, And again any blame that would be assessed

245
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: would have been to me. But you know, just in

246
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: terms of like trying to manage the situation the game,

247
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: also being really present in the moment of you know,

248
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: following what's happening as we're running the ball, you know,

249
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, what are we what are we doing?

250
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: Are we Are we having enough success to stay in

251
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: second and short? Are we not? You know, what's the

252
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: risk reward of doing something into the win versus you know,

253
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: handing it off another time. There's all those things you're weighing,

254
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's a right or wrong. Could

255
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: we have thrown it fifteen times? Yeah? Probably, you know,

256
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: would it have would it have incurred some risk? Most definitely? Um,

257
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, depending on the way you were going. And again,

258
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: the wind the other night was not one direction only.

259
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was going like this and that

260
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: was it. There was some cross wind, and then there

261
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: was some this way, and then it was mostly going

262
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: towards the tunnel end. But you know, there was definitely

263
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: a switching of the wind a little bit there too.

264
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: So I have a lot of confidence in him. I

265
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: watched every throw he made in pregame. I watched every

266
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: throw and warm ups. You know, I was aware of

267
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: how his ball was traveling as well as buffalos. You know,

268
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: you want to kind of try to keep your eyes on,

269
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, how that's going, because both guys, you know,

270
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: give you a good kind of you know, you're taken

271
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: stock and like hard, how's the ball traveling going this direction,

272
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: how's the ball traveling going that direction? You know what

273
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: kind of ball might un to throw if we're going

274
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: this way, etc. So there's a lot that goes into it.

275
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, we certainly could have thrown the ball

276
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: more during the course of the game, but I think

277
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: there was an element of, you know, how is the

278
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: game flowing and what's the best thing to do as

279
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: the as the game is progressing, And so that's just

280
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: the way it played out. So it was a short

281
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: film session phil for him relative to the passing game.

282
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: But I will say this, you know, mac Nac, although

283
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: he didn't throw the ball lot, he had a lot

284
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: to do with what we were doing. And you know,

285
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: obviously you guys know the quarterbacks responsibility is numerous here

286
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: and so he was he was in charge of trying

287
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: to get us in a lot of good plays, which

288
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: he did a good job of, and and setting our

289
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: blocking schemes and distributing people and all the rest of it. So,

290
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: although not a challenging night throwing the ball for him,

291
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: he had his hands full and some of the things

292
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: we were asking of him at the line of scrimmage,

293
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: and I thought he handled it really well. Great thanks

294
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: a lot, Josh, appreciate that
