Ryan. 13 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: Hey, I was hoping. 14 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 3: You could shed some light on something, Brian that there's 15 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: probably about a thousand different fan theories as to this. 16 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Why do you. 17 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 3: Think the offense has been so much more aggressive and 18 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: by that I mean downfield shots taken with both Tommy, 19 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 3: who I think you said had a letter rip mentality 20 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: and Tyrod than it was with Daniel. 21 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: I'll just talk about last game is the one we 22 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: just played. I thought that, you know, Tyrod saw some 23 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: things relative to you, things opening up and let it 24 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: go and made the right decisions. Every game is different, 25 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: but you know he's he's done that the last couple 26 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 2: of games for us, which you know, in turn helps 27 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: you skip some third downs and usually gives you points. 28 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: Had one take back on a penalty, but those are 29 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: always those are always helpful to get into the end zone. 30 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 3: But the season long number, I get the you want 31 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: to talk about the last My point is the season 32 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 3: long number show aggressiveness, metrics whatever, show that the guys, 33 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: those two quarterbacks are throwing downfield more. Is that because 34 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: Daniel is a better run, more likely to run. Is 35 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: that contributed to the different offensive lines? Like I said, 36 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 3: there's about a thousand theories, and I want to clear 37 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: it up for people from. 38 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: Your Yeah, we'll look into that, you know, once we're 39 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: done with the season. We'll just you know, finish up 40 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: with this game, get ready for next game, and you know, 41 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: look at all those things when the season's over. 42 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: Okay, but it's safe to say you want your offense 43 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 3: to be able to push the ball downfield the way 44 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 3: you guys have of late. 45 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: Right big plays help Okay, Tom Rock. 46 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: Uh, Brian, just just to get back to that right spot. 47 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: How'd you think Matt did when he when he came in, I. 48 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: Thought I thought he did good, you know for having 49 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: played for a while, came in and quitted himself. Obviously 50 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 2: some plays that we all would like to have back, 51 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: but you know, did a nice job filling in for us. 52 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: And then what what made that punt return work? 53 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: Well, we got some good blocks under under gunners and 54 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: then then gunner, yeah, you know, got into that mix, 55 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 2: did a great job of really securing the football two 56 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 2: hands on it, and spun out of it and you know, 57 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: kind of reset the where he was going. And you know, 58 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: we had a whole wall in front of him, and 59 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: but it starts with you know, blocking the gunners and 60 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: you know the ball security, you know, because he got 61 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: into that mix and spun out and had a good finish. 62 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: He kind of joked, he said he didn't realize how 63 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: long of a punt return it was. 64 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: He said, he probably shouldn't have returned that one. 65 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: What did you think at the time, Uh, that's a 66 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: that a boy. 67 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: Jordan ran on. 68 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: Hey, Brian, same to you. 69 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 4: Thanks.

Who's advising you to when to 175 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 7: throw the flag and went not? 176 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I talked I talked about this a lot last year. 177 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: You know, whether it's time management, whether it's the rules. 178 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: You know, Kate and Tied do a great job, very 179 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: well prepared, very well thought out. You know, we meet 180 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: a lot during the week, so you know, and sometimes 181 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: you got to make a split second decision if you 182 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: think you see it on the ground. But I'm usually 183 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: relying those guys, you know, to get the you know, 184 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 2: to get to see what they see on the replay, 185 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 2: and you know, you just got to be quick to 186 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: throw it. They were up there fast on the one, 187 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: so we just you know, let that one go. So 188 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: we used I'm not sure we used to in the 189 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: early on in the game. So if you used to, 190 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: you get one back if you give both of them, right, 191 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: So we were fortunate to have another one didn't need it, 192 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: but you know, those are two big ones. One was 193 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: on fourth down. But those guys do a good job 194 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 2: really with a lot of things I would say within 195 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: our program. Uh, the two of those guys, do you know, 196 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: two Ivy leaguers, They do a nice job. 197 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: Jim Jones, Hey, James Hoppy to be here. 198 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: Thank you. 199 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 8: At least with the players I spoke to post game, 200 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 8: You know, they all were you know, very disappointed or 201 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 8: seemed very disappointed about the loss, about not getting it done, 202 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 8: beating the Eagles and that kind of execute. You know, Sorry, 203 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 8: do you talk to your team when it's out of 204 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 8: it about those characteristics, about still playing hard and giving 205 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 8: effort as if you were competing for a playoff. 206 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, first, first, they're you know, you have to 207 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: understand their professionals. So everybody has a job to do 208 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: in this league. You try to do it as is, 209 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: you know, as good as you can do it. Try 210 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: to prepare, take a lot of pride in your work, 211 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: put a lot of time into it. They put a 212 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: lot of time into their body, to their study, and 213 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 2: they study in groups. This is a you know, a 214 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 2: group of guys that have worked really hard. We haven't 215 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: got the results that we want, but the you know, 216 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: the competitive stamina. You know, we certainly talk about competing 217 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: and finishing and being good teammates. Those are all important 218 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 2: characteristics for our program. And again not the results that 219 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: we've you know, we've wanted this season, but you know, 220 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: try to finish strong on a good note against a 221 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: good team that we just played last week. So but 222 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: certainly talk about you know, competition and resiliency and toughness 223 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: and finish and accountability, all those type of things. 224 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 8: Did Dane Belton in particular impress you yesterday? 225 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: Given the circumstance with which he was. 226 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: You know, in a in a prime role, Yeah, you know, 227 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: I mean, I know he had the turnovers. But uh, 228 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: you know, the one play that I that I was 229 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 2: really impressed with is is a play that you know, 230 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: they broke out for the long for the long gain 231 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 2: on the hitch route, and his chase to to run 232 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: down there and to finish showed some good long speed 233 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: and again you know, running to the ball when you 234 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: know you think a guy might score. I just thought 235 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: the effort he had on that play was indicative of 236 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: of what the young man's about.
