1 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to the From the Podium podcast. I'm 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Jason Gibbs the Browns. We'll get back on the field 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: for practice Wednesday at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus in 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: preparation for Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants. On 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: today's episode, you'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, running 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: back Jerome Ford, and safety Rodney McCleod. Up first is 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: coach Stefanski, who praised the play of his quarterback Sunday 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: All right, injury updates, said David Bellal, like I told 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: you guys, has a hip injury that will require surgery. 11 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: So disappointed for David. You know, I will tell you 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: I gave him a game ball nine plays, he had 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 2: three catches, So disappointed for him. A guy that his 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 2: teammates really appreciate how that kid works. And then he'll 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: bounce back. Pierre Strong has a hamstring injury. I'd say 16 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 2: that's week to week, and then Obo is clear from 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: the concussion protocol. You know, like we talked last night, 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 2: wasn't perfect, wasn't always pretty, but it was gritty and 19 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: I thought the guys, you know, found a way there 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 2: and it's certainly a learning experience. I think win, loser, draw, 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: you got to learn from these things. With that, I'll 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 2: take any questions. 23 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: Hey, Kevin, I know you want your starting quarterback to 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: always start well. What did you like about the way 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: Deshan opened up yesterday? 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: I thought offensively, Tom and Sean obviously in particular, we 27 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: played clean, We played on time, and I thought he 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: spread the ball rout, was very good in his reads 29 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: really throughout the day, but kind of took what was 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: there if number one wasn't there, moved on to number 31 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 2: two and played really clean. 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: Along those lines, He's always had to carry the load, 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: you know, regardless of where he is or was. Now 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: these in the second year with you guys, does he 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: seem to have a better grasp on he doesn't have 36 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: to be the hero every time that he has to, 37 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: you know, make good smart plays as you just referenced. 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: I think Deshaun understands how to win first and foremost, 39 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: and I think he understands that he'll do whatever it 40 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: takes to win. I think he's like a lot of 41 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: the great quarterbacks out there. They're prepared to do whatever 42 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: it takes to find a way to win. 43 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, I want to ask you about Miles playing 44 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 4: through this foot injury. Just you know, he made a 45 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 4: clear after the game he plans to play through this thing. 46 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: But just what are you plan to do to help 47 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 4: him deal with this and play through it. 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: I mean, we can obviously treat all these guys. We 49 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: can treat the injury, you can rest, and then there's 50 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 2: a lot of guys that are playing through a ton 51 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: of things, and Miles no different. That's he's done that 52 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: in his career when I've been with him. He plays 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: through things and he'll just continue to get better and 54 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: treat the injury. 55 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 4: And then you know, Denzel Ward, I think he had 56 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 4: just eleven snaps on Sunday. Just what what what's the 57 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 4: plan with them? And how is he physically? 58 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: You know, each injury is different. Will continue to work 59 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: with every guy and rehab and you know, I think 60 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: injuries get better with rest and with time, and I 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: think this is no different. 62 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 5: Hey, Kevin, I know you said yesterday that Amar's a 63 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 5: pro and he'll be fine, But do you why do 64 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 5: you think it hasn't quite clicked yet for him and 65 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 5: Deshaun to these first two games. 66 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? Again, small sample size I've seen it click with 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: those two guys many times, so we'll just keep working. 68 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 5: And with David Njoku, is he out this week or 69 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 5: is there a chance. 70 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: He can play? I wouldn't roll him out yet. It's 71 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: a week to week injury, so got to get through 72 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: the next couple of days to have a better sense. 73 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 6: Kevin, I know last week you guys had more penalties 74 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 6: than you wanted and then kind of replicated that again 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 6: in week two with that being a point of emphasis. 76 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 6: I'm sure for you guys this week, how do you 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 6: coach up those penalties, especially the legal shifts and some 78 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 6: of those offensive holdings that took you guys back behind 79 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 6: the six more than he'd like. 80 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, really disappointed there, Cam. We need to be better 81 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: in that area. It's hard to win. We don't need 82 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: to make it harder on ourselves, and we did in 83 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: a bunch areas, so we can just identify and correct. 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 2: We'll keep hammering it and we got but until until 85 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: we do it, we're just going to make life hard 86 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: and we don't want to do that. 87 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 6: Is there anything that's ongoing from having to learn from 88 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 6: this new point of emphasis with those maybe the shifts? 89 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 6: I know there's illegal formations were a little bit more 90 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 6: frequent last week, But is there anything that's carried over 91 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 6: that you're still trying to work through, you. 92 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: Know, not really, we know the rules. An illegal shift 93 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: wiped out a touchdown for them as well, and so 94 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 2: it's so so important to be about our business and 95 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: the more pre snap motion and shifts and type of 96 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: things that you do. You really have to be on 97 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: top of it. So that's it's a point of emphasis 98 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: for us. 99 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, Kevin, you know you just touched about it a 100 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 7: little bit, but is there a silver lining? I know 101 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 7: you want to play clean, but to come out of 102 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 7: a game and get a win when you had so 103 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 7: many self inflicted wounds, you know, beside the penalties, drop passes, 104 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 7: you know, plays that you know are correctible, and still 105 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 7: get a win. 106 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: Well, I think, like we talked about yesterday, Fred, winning 107 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: is hard in the National Football League. So going on 108 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: the road playing a good team obviously accomplished our goal 109 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: this last week yesterday, but we have to do that 110 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: again this week against another good team. So that really 111 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: the focus becomes making sure that you don't beat yourself 112 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: because again, it's it's hard to get get a win 113 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 2: in this league. 114 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 8: Hey, Kevin, just to give you a chance to expand 115 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 8: on David Bell a little bit more. I mean he, 116 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 8: I know, is your guys, mister reliable. To see a 117 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 8: young receiver who kind of just did everything that was 118 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 8: asked of him, always in the right place, for his 119 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 8: season end like this. Just how disappointing is that in 120 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 8: you know, all the years of and to know him 121 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 8: so far. 122 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, very disappointing, Ashley. And We've talked about injuries many times, 123 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: and there's no fun. Nobody likes him, particularly ones like 124 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: this that that are can end the season. So feel 125 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: badly for David. I know his teammates feel badly for him. 126 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: But he'll be He will bounce back. But he's a 127 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 2: guy that is a big part of this football team. 128 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: He'll be here, I'm sure as he rehabs, and you 129 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: know can provide that steady hand as well, even just 130 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: in this building. 131 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 8: And then just to ask about the third and Snicks 132 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 8: snap at the end of the game where Deshaun didn't 133 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 8: take the sack. I mean, I know you talked about 134 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 8: learning from that play yesterday. Is that one of those 135 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 8: things where it's like a very quick teaching experience. For 136 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 8: you as a coach and you kind of put it 137 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 8: out there and move on from it. 138 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: Then, Yeah, I mean listen to Shaun got a game ball. 139 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: I mean, he played well. He helped us win that game. 140 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: Obviously that play wasn't exactly how we wanted it to go, 141 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: but he's a battler that that I think is very evident. 142 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 9: Hey, Kevin, I wanted to ask you about Jerry and 143 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 9: just the way he's sort of fit into this offense 144 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 9: through two games, and it seemed like yesterday just kind 145 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 9: of watching, you know, he sort of became like the 146 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 9: outlet guy for Deshaun when the play broke down, just 147 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 9: kind of what is he what has he added so 148 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 9: far to this offense? And and what how was you 149 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 9: noticed DeShawn sort of counting on him in those situations. 150 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerry made a couple of nice plays off schedule. 151 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: David Bell made a nice playoff schedule. So there were 152 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: guys that were working with the quarterback. But Jerry's doing 153 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: a nice job. We're going to continue to learn more 154 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: about him and how to line him up, where to 155 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: line him up, those type of things. 156 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 10: Just wondering is David Bell's surgery definitely season ending. 157 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: I'll confirm that, but I believe so. 158 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 11: Yes, Kevin on Jack Conklin and Jed Wills, do you 159 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 11: expect that maybe where both of them could be ready 160 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 11: to play this week? 161 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, potentially. 162 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 12: Hey, coach, you talked about motion a little bit earlier, 163 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 12: but just from week one to week two, it seemed 164 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 12: like you guys did a lot more of that this week. 165 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 12: Just how much does that help the offense? And what 166 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 12: did you see from yesterday in terms of being able 167 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 12: to do a little bit more when you were utilizing 168 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 12: that in your game. 169 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it speaks to every game really calls 170 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: for its own game plan, and sometimes you lean into 171 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: certain personnels more than others, certain play types more than others. 172 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: And sometimes it's a shift game, sometimes it's a motion game, 173 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: sometimes it's both. So really we focus really on a 174 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: week to week basis on those type of things. Yesterday 175 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: we had a few more times with movement. Now, like 176 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: I talked about earlier, we have to lock in when 177 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: you are moving because now you have the chance of 178 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: having two people moving at the same time if you 179 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 2: have a double shift per se. So it's certainly part 180 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: of what we're doing, it's part of our attack and 181 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: it will really just be a game to game decision. 182 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 12: And then we saw that Jokay had the Guardian cap 183 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 12: on yesterday. He's the first player obviously on your guys 184 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 12: seem to wear one. Just I'm curious is what kind 185 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 12: of the conversations do you guys have with guys about 186 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 12: the guardian cap? Do you do you you know, talk 187 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 12: to certain players you maybe you've had more head injuries 188 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 12: about using them than just what are those conversations kind 189 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 12: of like. 190 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, the NFL does a nice job educating the guys 191 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: on the guardian cap usage and the numbers behind it, 192 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: and then our equipment staff does a great job as 193 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: well in that area, and it's really up to each 194 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: player on what they want to do. 195 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 13: Hey, coach, I just wanted to ask with Jack Conkline 196 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 13: how close was he to playing Sunday and just kind of, 197 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 13: you know, was there any thought at all whether he 198 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 13: had a chance to play? 199 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt, I mean he's continuing to get close. 200 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: We just need to make a decision really as you 201 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 2: get into through a week, getting in the weekend and 202 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: decide what's best for the team. But yes, he's getting close, 203 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: and could. 204 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 13: You provide any update. I know we haven't talked in 205 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 13: a while about Nick Chubb. Where he's at right now? 206 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: Really no update on Nick. He's here. 207 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 5: Hey, Kevin, I had a question about a specific penalty. 208 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 5: Were you surprised to see the flag on Dustin Hopkins 209 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 5: on the golf being over the fifty? 210 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: No? No, I wasn't surprised. That's that's a penalty. Dustin 211 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 2: knows that. That was really disappointing. Uh, you know, that's 212 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 2: a game changing play. We get the ball. Obviously, Dustin 213 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 2: kicked really well for us yesterday. He's a huge you know, 214 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: has been a huge asset for us. But he just 215 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: he made a mistake there. He knows the rule. He 216 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: just made a mistake. Gotcha. 217 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 5: And third out has been a struggle for you in 218 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 5: the first two weeks, and I know a bunch of 219 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 5: stuff goes into that, But what did you see specifically 220 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 5: yesterday that you'd like to get cleaned up. 221 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always a combination of protection and new route 222 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: running and precision in the past game, so plenty to 223 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: clean up. I will tell you the distance on those 224 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: third downs really matters. So it's protection, that's coverage, it's rush, 225 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: it's all those things, and it's also the distance. 226 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, I wanted to ask you about Cedric Tillman in 227 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 7: the preseason, training camp, offseason, felt like, you know, he 228 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 7: was going to be a big part. It seemed like 229 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 7: he was playing behind David Bell, a guy you let 230 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 7: go a couple of weeks ago, and can you just 231 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 7: say where he's at and is it just a small 232 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 7: sample size or what you see going forward with Cedric Tillman. 233 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, very small sample size and said, is doing everything 234 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 2: we're asking to do, so ball will make its way 235 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: to him. I mean there's a lot that's the good news. 236 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: And there's a bunch of guys on our team that 237 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: can make plays with the ball in their hands, and said, 238 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: is certainly one of them. 239 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, it felt like you went back to your 240 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: bread and butter yesterday with the run game. You know, 241 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 4: Dante forman early Jerome Ford. Was that by design or 242 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 4: product a game flow? And just how do you think 243 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 4: that whole thing? 244 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: Responded? Yeah, I think we had some good moments obviously 245 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: in the run games, some good moments in the past game, 246 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 2: but we definitely have to play cleaner. I will tell 247 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: you we were better on first and second down which 248 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: is a very very big part of having any production 249 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: from the on offense. So we were better, but there's 250 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: still we feel like there's still things that we can 251 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: do better, certainly when it comes to their run game. 252 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 4: And then just lastly, there seemed to be some confusion 253 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 4: after the safety with Jacksonville doing the free kick. Just 254 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 4: what was going on there? From your perspective? Were they 255 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 4: trying to do an on site kick and they weren't allowed? 256 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: Just well, they declared on side kick, so we knew 257 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 2: that and that's how you're allowed to align Like we did. 258 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: We wanted to call time out to see how they 259 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: were aligning and how they were holding the ball and 260 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 2: those type of things. So once we saw what was 261 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 2: going on, we made sure prochet was over where with 262 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 2: the ball was going. And I know it may seem easy, 263 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: that's a very difficult the way that ball was kicked. 264 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: That punter does a very very nice job with that 265 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: banana ball, and I thought approciated a really good job 266 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 2: of securing the catch. Thanks guys. 267 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: Then running back Jerome Ford took the stand to speak 268 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: on the solid week of preparation the offense had leading 269 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: up to the Jags game. 270 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 5: Hey, Jerome, we talked the other day about stuff to 271 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 5: clean up from week one to week two in the 272 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 5: run game, it looked like you guys were much more efficient. 273 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 5: How what do you think you guys did best from 274 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 5: week one to week two? 275 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 14: We honed in more in a game plan players wise, 276 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 14: so in the running back room, like I say that, 277 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 14: you know, we paid more to to the details and 278 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 14: made sure that we had what we had. 279 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 9: Now, Hey, Jerome, I just wanted to ask you it 280 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 9: seemed like you guys meant a lot more heavy personnel 281 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 9: against Jacksonville than the previous week. Was that sort of 282 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 9: the game point coming in because of you know, specific 283 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 9: matchups that that you guys saw and how much did 284 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 9: it benefit you in the run game?

When when you 345 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 12: guys are running the football effectively and you guys are 346 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 12: having success in the run game. 347 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: I feel like it open up a lot of things. 348 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 14: You know, keeps teams guessing, I don't know where they 349 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 14: have to play the run or play the pass. So 350 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 14: like when the run game is working well, it opened 351 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 14: up in the past game, and when the past game 352 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 14: is working well, it opens up the run game. So 353 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 14: as long as we're able to, you know, have that balance, 354 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 14: a lot of stuff will be open for us. 355 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 12: And then you talked a little bit about like that 356 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 12: fourth on suite play, which was obviously really well done. 357 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: What's it like though? 358 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 12: You know, you're you get Deshaun's out there so much, 359 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 12: but you get a couple of those moments with Jamis. 360 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 12: We know the type of personality he is. You know 361 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 12: why Taylor kind of talked after the game about him 362 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 12: having crazy eyes. Just what's what's he like when he 363 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 12: steps on the field for those moments in the huddle 364 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 12: and kind of talking to you guys and directing you guys. 365 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: He's a great leader. 366 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 14: Man. We make a joke that when he caught and plays, 367 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 14: it sounds like he got a surprise to tell. But 368 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 14: you know, he kind of like he made sure that 369 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 14: he says to play clearly.

Do you think 375 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 13: that was important for the offensive line to kind of 376 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 13: push back and get back on track and you just 377 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 13: kind of talk about the importance of that. 378 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 14: Yeah, we definitely wanted to bounce back from the game 379 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 14: that we that first game, and I feel like we 380 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 14: responded well offensive line. 381 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: Running backs, pretty much the offense in general. 382 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 14: I feel like we responded well to what happened week one, 383 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 14: and we're looking to continue to build on what happened 384 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 14: last week. 385 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: Well, sat at Sunday yesterday. 386 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 5: Hey, Drew Amari has gotten off to the start.

But it is normal. And you know, 400 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 14: we all here behind each other to pick each other up. 401 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 14: You know, everybody show a little frustration. We all want 402 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 14: to be perfect. We never will be, so when stuff 403 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 14: go bad, we always follow on our brothers to pick 404 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 14: each other up. 405 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: Finally, today's safety Rodney McLeod gave his thoughts on the 406 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: team's ability to hold themselves accountable. 407 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 5: I saw it. Did I think it was maybe a 408 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 5: something pressure rate that you guys got on Trevor Lawrence yesterday. 409 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 5: I was curious, do you guys set a numbers goal 410 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 5: like a percentage of how often you want to get 411 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 5: to the quarterback? 412 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 15: No, I think that's just who we are as our identity, 413 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 15: you know, defensive lines, our engine. We're attacked style team, 414 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 15: and so you know, every single play we have it 415 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 15: on our mind, you know, to make the quarterback uncomfortable. 416 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 15: That was one of the objectives this week was to 417 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 15: disrupt the quarterback, make it feel uncomfortable, and I think, 418 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 15: you know, we did that a lot, which contributed to 419 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 15: the win. Several sacks the thing. We counted for maybe 420 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 15: four five of zeros. I'm sure a lot more pressures 421 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 15: as well, but yeah, they had a We had am 422 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 15: unsettled a great deal yesterday. 423 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: So credit to all levels of the defense, but especially 424 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 2: our d line. 425 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 5: And we talked into the game about the up to 426 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 5: the secondary and he had some guys playing yesterday, specifically 427 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 5: Cam Mitchell hit a bunch of snaps with Denzel and 428 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 5: not playing a ton. How did you think he did? 429 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 15: Yeah, I think I thought Cam did extremely well, stepping 430 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 15: in filling the rolls of die Award. You know, he's 431 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 15: always a guy that's available and ready. You know, he's 432 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 15: always in tune what's going on. There's a true pro, 433 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 15: works his craft and has a great deal of focus. 434 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 15: So it wasn't a surprise for me. I think we 435 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 15: all feel the same in the secondary. When cam Is 436 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 15: acts upon that, he's going to uphold his in and 437 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 15: hold hold that standard. 438 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 6: Rodney. I know last week you guys talked about the 439 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,959 Speaker 6: emphasis of wanting to you know, support the offense as 440 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 6: they work through things. Defenses typically starting faster, so this 441 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 6: week for you guys to be able to go out, 442 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 6: especially that safety by Alex Right, to be able to 443 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 6: step up in those big clutch moments to help port 444 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 6: that offense. How crucial was that not only for the team, 445 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 6: but for the identity of this defense and what you 446 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 6: guys are. 447 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,239 Speaker 2: Trying to be. 448 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean we break it down on team every 449 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 15: single day, and yesterday was evident of that. We need 450 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 15: all three phases to play, you know, at the level 451 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 15: that we did yesterday in order to walk away with 452 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 15: that win. The offense had a great first half. I 453 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 15: think defensively, we may have been only on the field 454 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 15: for maybe two three possessions and then of course second 455 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 15: half happened and Jacksonville was able to you know, put 456 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 15: some possessions together, but we stayed we all stayed connected, 457 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 15: and you saw at the end, you know, everybody played 458 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 15: a role, you know, special teams. 459 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: Corey having that that. 460 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 15: Huge punt would set up the a writ safety, you know, 461 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 15: And so that's what this game is about. It's about 462 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 15: all three phases. You never know who's gonna need who, 463 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 15: but you know, when we can do it together more 464 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 15: often on a collective basis, you know that they will 465 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 15: amount into wins. And then yeah, for us as a defense, 466 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 15: you know, we pride ourselves on being in those moments 467 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 15: where the game is on us.

Is that 525 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 8: just kind of like a part of the mentality of 526 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 8: this defense that you've seen or I guess like identity 527 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 8: develop over the last two years that that you've been here, 528 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 8: that guys are just gonna kind of buck up and 529 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 8: go through whatever, deal with whatever they're dealing with. 530 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 15: I guess, yeah, those are two great players for us, 531 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 15: and you know, I know they're going to do everything, 532 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 15: you know possible to make sure that they're out there 533 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 15: and available for their team. 534 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 2: Uh. And you know we've seen you know over time. 535 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 15: You know, if they aren't, then people are going to 536 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 15: have to step up. And everybody has the trust and 537 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 15: every single player that suits up for us. 538 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 2: So you know, I'll just leave it at that. 539 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 11: Hey, Ronnie, can you take us through that last Jacksonville drive? 540 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 11: They had like a minute and a half almost but 541 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 11: you guys, we well, how did that grow? The intensity? 542 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 2: And on that drive for you guys made. 543 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 15: A little entertaining. I guess you would say, what what transpired? 544 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 15: But uh, you know we did our job, did what 545 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 15: we need to do. 546 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: Uh. 547 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 15: You know, job is to prevent them from scoring. You know, 548 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 15: we're defending a touchdown and so we came up with 549 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 15: the victory. Guys were in the right spots and you know, 550 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 15: executed effectively. 551 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 11: So that last play in particular, how difficult it is 552 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 11: to make sure that you guys don't get pass interference 553 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 11: when that balls up for grabs there in the end zone. 554 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 15: Just about having great poise boxing your guy out and 555 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 15: then not allowing it to to just be one guy 556 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 15: that makes it play. You know, we're all visual back there, 557 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 15: and so on that play, you saw both and and 558 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 15: Rocket do a great job at at insurance the tight 559 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 15: end didn't catch it. 560 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 10: He told us today that David Bell will have to 561 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 10: undergo season ending surgery on his dislocated hip, and I 562 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 10: was just wondering, I'm guessing you probably got to know 563 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 10: David pretty well over these past couple of years, just how. 564 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 8: Unfortunate is that for him? 565 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 10: And what are some things that you saw in David 566 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 10: just in terms of his growth as a receiver this year. 567 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's very unfortunate what happened to David on Sunday, 568 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 15: knowing you know that he had three crucial catches for 569 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 15: us in that game. And that's what type of player 570 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 15: David is. He's very consistent. He doesn't say much around 571 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 15: the building, but he shows up and he works and 572 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 15: so you know, he worked his butt off to recover 573 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 15: from an injury that occurred during training camp, so he 574 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 15: was available for us, and you know, you saw a 575 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 15: lot of his his efforts you. 576 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: Know show on Sunday, and and of course, you know it's. 577 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 15: Just devastating that now you know the seasons will probably 578 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 15: be over. 579 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: But you know, keep him in his prayers. 580 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 15: But I know he's a guy that works extremely hard, 581 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 15: so you know, this is just a minor setback for 582 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 15: a major comeback. 583 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 8: For David Rodney. 584 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 6: I know a lot of the penalties were on the 585 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 6: offense yesterday, there were some on defense. But as a veteran, 586 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 6: what does a practice after a game like the last 587 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 6: two where you have way more penalties than you guys 588 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 6: would like to have, what does a practice like that 589 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 6: look like after that to try to clean that up. 590 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 15: For us, it's just taking ownership of of what's occurred 591 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 15: over the past two games, understanding you know we can 592 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 15: have we can't harm ourselves and and you know, you 593 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 15: when you want to be one of those few teams 594 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 15: that exists at the end of the year, you. 595 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: Can allow. 596 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 15: Those sort of plays to be the reason why. And 597 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 15: we have full control over a lot of the penalties. 598 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 15: And we took a look at it as a team 599 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 15: today and it was addressed and it's something that you know. 600 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: One we have to focus on. 601 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 15: We have to do better, you know, in the detail, 602 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 15: and then we have to you know, just hold one 603 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 15: another accountable. But I think everybody understands that the margin 604 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 15: of air in this game is very small. And you know, 605 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 15: when you have penalties that you know, unfortunately take away 606 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 15: some of the great plays or put you in, you know, 607 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 15: worse situations normally, uh, you know, you do them at 608 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 15: a high rate. You know, they don't translate into two wins. 609 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 15: And so if we want to win, if we want 610 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 15: to you know again win this division and go as 611 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 15: far as as we dream, then that will need to change. 612 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 15: And you know, us as players have to fix it. 613 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: That'll do it.
