1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: On Nick, because everything it's good. How are you good man? 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: The case the girls, the girls staying healthy now that 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: school started to get Oh yeah, they're they're they're full 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: of life right now. Yeah. So I want to ask you, 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: you know, as a remember the offensive coaching staff, when 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: obvious the quarterback gets gets hurt, is there an added 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: pressure on you or your position? And I think I 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: think I know the answer to it, um But I'll 9 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: let you just sort of speak on that for well, well, yeah, 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think just in general terms, anytime you 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: know you're out there, there's there's a pressure to perform 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: in a good way. You know, a level of execution 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: that's a standard, a high standard that you try to 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: set um forth for everybody. So I mean, I think 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: regardless of circumstances, you know, I don't think it changes 16 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: when something like that happens. I think you're always trying 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: to go out and you're always trying to execute at 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: a high level, whether it's protection, you know, whatever the 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: case might be. Run game. You never want to sit 20 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: there and say it's going to take this to get 21 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: you to do something else. Like you're always trying to 22 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: to play a clean game. You're always trying to play 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: a fundamentally sound game, excuse me, And I feel like 24 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: there has to be an aspect of that too, where 25 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: you don't want to put too much pressure on yourself, 26 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, you know what you 27 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: have to do to get your players right, and if 28 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: you put too much pressure on one week, I feel 29 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: like that could almost like spiral in the wrong direction. Yeah. 30 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is, you know, we always 31 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: talk about focusing on the process and not the outcome. 32 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: And you control the things that you can control, which 33 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: is your preparation, your work ethic, your attention to detail, 34 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: all those things, and you know, and if you work hard, 35 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: you care, and you you put the time in, whether 36 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: it's in the classroom or whether it's on the field, 37 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: you know you're going to improve, you know if you care. 38 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: And so we have a lot of you know, a 39 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: team full of guys that care tremendously, And I think 40 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: that's what you focus on. You don't worry about the results. 41 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: You can't be results worriented. You have to focus on 42 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: the process and just continually improving, which is, you know, 43 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: what we're all trying to do. I think it's interesting 44 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: how the team has used a little join Humphrey this year. 45 00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: Is it Is it wrong for me to say it's 46 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: all us like having another tight end out there to 47 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: a certain extent with the big body blocker. Yeah, yeah, 48 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: you know LJ. He's got good size. Yeah, he can 49 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: do a lot of different things. He's physical, he's got 50 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: a good catch radius. You know, he's a versatile guy 51 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: and he works really hard and he's smart. So, you know, 52 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: you talk about tight end, you talk about big inside receivers. 53 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: I mean, all those guys are interchangeable. You have to be. 54 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: You have to have that flexibility personnel wise in today's 55 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: you know, National Football League. You know you have you 56 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: have two main tight ends who have had no success 57 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and you've seen it in various daring degree. Obviously, 58 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: the production, I think the start of the season is 59 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: a little up and down, and you're probably not a 60 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: coach's focused on the numbers. Does it does it ever 61 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: concern you when your guys don't get the targets? Is 62 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: there anything you guys have to do different two gets 63 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: the targets? Or is it sometimes a matter of just 64 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: this is how it all plays out, how the defense 65 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: approaches our offense. I think the last thing that you stated, 66 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we're not sitting there focusing on what we 67 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: need to get x amount of balls. And you know, 68 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, winning is the only thing that we care about, um, 69 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: and you know that that's the bottom line. So for us, 70 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: it's about doing what we can do. For running a route, 71 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, running it with a good level of route detail, 72 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: getting open, you know, finding ways to you know, create 73 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: opportunities for us to get open, and uncovering the passing 74 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: game and the run game. It's winning our one on 75 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: one matchups. If you do those things, okay, cumulatively all right, 76 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: results are going to come for the team and as 77 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: a byproduct, would come your way as a skill player obviously. 78 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: So UM, as long as we stick to the process, 79 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: I'm a firm believer in that that. You know, those 80 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: are the that is the that's the plan. Is just 81 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: focus on improvement and doing whatever is called on by 82 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: the game plan, whatever coach asks us to do. Coaches 83 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: and players, that's what we're gonna do. Makes sense, also, 84 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: make It's all I got for
