1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Obviously wasn't good enough today. Okay, our marks were simple,

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: all right. We talked to the team all week. You know,

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: three things wanted to do was run the ball, stopped running,

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: cover kicks. I'd say for the most part, we're running

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: ball decently as a team today to get some movement

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: going on. Like the way the runbacks ran hard but

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: makes some productive runs down the way, We've got to

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: be productive the run game. When they knew we had

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: to run the ball, and we were only running the ball,

10
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: all right, stopping the run. This is a balanced team.

11
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: It was a very good run attack. I'm pleased with

12
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: the way the defense overall today, overall was able to

13
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: limit them in the run game and not let them

14
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: get going on the track that they had been the

15
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: passing some games. And for you know, multiple reasons in

16
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: terms of covering kicks, we didn't let their explosive playmakers

17
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: and return game get going. Now, all that being said,

18
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: all right, you can't have success in this league when

19
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: you turn the ball over the way we did. When

20
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: you create short fields for a team, Okay, every team's

21
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: gonna take advantage of that. With the types of position

22
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: we gave the team, you can't have mistakes in the

23
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: kicking game like we had the end of the first half.

24
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: That's a five point mistake. We can't do that. It's

25
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: not acceptable, it's not gonna be tolerated. So in terms

26
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: of you know, how the team played looked, one thing

27
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm repeatedly proud of is the way they play and

28
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: they finished, and they fight, and they played for each other,

29
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: and they can showed up to work, they practice hard

30
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: to prepare well. All right, the reality is we gotta

31
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: liminate the things that our mistakes give ourselves an opportunity

32
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: a chance for success. And overall the time about the

33
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: big marks we had to hit, but ultimately, one of

34
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: those big marks, the turnovers right there early in the game,

35
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: set us behind a good deal and you know, we

36
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't do enough to overcome it. So that being said,

37
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: a lot of credit to the Bears. You know, Matt's

38
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: team came out today, did a better job than we did,

39
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: and they deserve to have success. So that being said,

40
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: in questions you have so coming into the game, wasn't

41
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: your plan to run that much? Or did the bands

42
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: start in the passing game closer to run even more

43
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: than they were going The plan was to run that much.

44
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: That was a plan in the game. You know. Now,

45
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: there's obviously different adjustments we can make within the game,

46
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: but we knew we were gonna coming today. It was

47
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: gonna be run the ball stopped to runcover kicks. That

48
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: was a goal twenty four years, four years passing, passing.

49
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: I'm not here to argue the bate about stats, Jordan,

50
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: is what it is. I mean, it is what it is.

51
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't good enough. You're the first place from scrimmage

52
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: there these Mike supposed to be convers even there was

53
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: just somebody supposed to block. Uh, look like where Matt

54
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: looked like, where mapped up was a five man protection,

55
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: mapped up five for five a long way. There's obviously

56
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: ways to handle the you know, free rushers coming off.

57
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go and everything schematically and what we

58
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: did obviously it wasn't you know, it wasn't good enough

59
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: right there, not recognizing man or is it what's what's

60
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: going on there? I'm just gonna keep it as obviously

61
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: from an offensive standpoint, it wasn't good enough right there.

62
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: All right, I'm not going to go into your dissect

63
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: and everything Mike did today, but we're gonna be more

64
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: productive and do better things in offense. Given the fact

65
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: that they obviously knew you were going to run, you

66
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: know a lot. How do you think handled that in

67
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: terms of this production. I did a good job to

68
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Then there was a lot of times we were loaded

69
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: boxes and we say, hey, look we're run. Either way,

70
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: we knew going into the game. At some point they

71
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: were gonna recognize the game plan was to run, run, run.

72
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, we're playing seven offensive alignment at a time.

73
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: You know, we got a lot of things in those boxes.

74
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Seven alignment. They obviously load the box, but they're bigger

75
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: personnel in We're still gonna be productive and run. That

76
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: was it. I thought the stake one did good things.

77
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: A couple of times I had him in the backfield

78
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: with some blitzer of pressures. He hable to slip out

79
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: and make something out of nothing. At certain times I

80
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: thought he ran hard, but it ran with good ball security.

81
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: But he went out there and really plays a good

82
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: team player today and fought at the end. I think

83
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: about a lot of things, but the decisions made today

84
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: or the decisions are best for the team. For there,

85
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: what is the thing running and ten area when you

86
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: get eight or an alliancy, and so it's terrier. I mean,

87
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: it seems like a give up plays. No, definitely was

88
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: not a give up play, but the thought process of

89
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: maybe a bust a sub run right there. But also

90
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: at the same time, as you alluded to, does it

91
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: put us in more of a you know, aggressive fourth

92
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: down mentality that was being part of the game plan today.

93
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: If we got ourselves in those type of zones and

94
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: those ranges on fourth down, there were things we're gonna

95
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: consider to be aggressive and go for it right there. Illustration,

96
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: a little conidence you got, No, just the plant that

97
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: he was a run the ball and keeping his head

98
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: help was any point where you going offensively at all?

99
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: That's not really a word I ever used. And so

100
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we didn't do enough well, we didn't

101
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: anything going really in the passing game. But in terms

102
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: of a run game, you know, we committed to it

103
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: where would have some production on it, put some some

104
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: positions that we had manageable third downs obviously to do

105
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: well enough in that zone either. So why didn't you

106
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: think you're working and coming into what wasn't that concerned

107
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: you in the every darn just because you choose to

108
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: run the ball doesn't mean because you have a you know,

109
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: absence of faith in another aspect of it. Sometimes you

110
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: go and you say, how can we go ahead and

111
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: play our best football today? You know, there's a number

112
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: of things you look at throughout the week, where that's

113
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: health of players, availability of players, whether there's weather situations

114
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: where it's something about their defense that you think matches

115
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: up well. Whether there's just an aspect of your game

116
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: that you have to do better in and set the

117
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: tone for how you're going to play. So there's multitude

118
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: of reasons right there. It's not one thing that triggers. Hey,

119
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: we can only do one thing right there. But we

120
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: felt the best chance for success today was a run

121
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: the ball and again that was our mark coming and

122
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: we had to run the ball better, you know, stop

123
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: throwing the cover kicks. That was in the three big

124
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: things that do. And then obviously it always falls under

125
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: ball security, right, turnovers all right, and then penalties with

126
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: men zone too. Your game mess up you referred to,

127
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: is that just lack of awareness and where they were

128
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: on the field or miscommunication or yeah, I didn't talk

129
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: directly to Coopa, talked to the coaches obviously on that

130
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: one there, make sure that we're straighten out on that um.

131
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: That definitely demonstrates that we didn't know where we're on

132
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: the field, you know, at that moment in time and

133
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: letting the thing go. You know, that's not acceptable. That's

134
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: not acceptable way earlier in the game, like who do

135
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: the same thing? Who barely the other son? Hope you

136
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: do it? Anybody about when they were kicking to the

137
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: left of our bench. Yeah, but the trajector that kick

138
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: on that one right there, Kyra really having that thing

139
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: more on align that he knew was going to go

140
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: in the goal on there even it's gonna just barely clear.

141
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: But you've got to be aware in that situations of

142
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: what the wind is, what the kick looks like, the

143
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: height it comes off the tea, with all those things

144
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: factoring playing deeper. Missis right. Losses by a couple of figures,

145
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: and you can hear where you're a future and hot wardership.

146
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: My focus on getting this team prepared for next week

147
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: in Washington. That's it. I'm never wearrying or addressing hypotheticals

148
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: or anything in that nature. Dan. My focus on this

149
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: team getting them ready. They come in and work for

150
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: me every week. The thing I owe them is having

151
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: them prepared and ready and getting a position of success.

152
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: That's It's something I've concerned with right now. Dan, Let's

153
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: say question, Yeah, Kelly, hey Joe, I got right what

154
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: you got two days? Why was Booker the right choice

155
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: there when you got the safety instead of se Kuan?

156
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: Why was Booker the guy to get the ball? And

157
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: is the offensive line giving you guys a chance in

158
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: the passing game. It's easy for us to look at

159
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback numbers. Is the offensive line giving you the chance?

160
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: All right, I'm not gonna go into kind of like

161
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: full unit evaluations right now. I'm gonna watch the tapes.

162
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: Who corrected with the making way do better. In terms

163
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: of Booker verse Kuan, we have confidence in all of

164
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: our players. We have confidence all of our backs. So

165
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, safe one for this or book

166
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: for that, you know, look, we have confident those guys.

167
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: They're specific schemes at times for certain backs you put

168
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: into the game plan. But in terms of you know,

169
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: a guy for a base run based play, you know, look,

170
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: get the guy that's fresh in there, keep rotam on

171
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: through keeping fresh throughout the game. We are confidence of

172
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: both guys. Both guys are running well on wrong news days, Joe.

173
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Two things that did the run first game plan come

174
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: about more towards the end of the week when you

175
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: found out you weren't gonna be with two of your

176
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: key receivers because of the COVID and Tony injury. Well,

177
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: we knew some of the personnel issues we're gonna have

178
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: about midweek tom So about the time we got into

179
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: the game plan and practicing on field, we were aware

180
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: some of the things we have to deal with. But

181
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: in terms of just the game plan South, there are

182
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot of things a factor and what today could

183
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: have been, you know, one point this week they were

184
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: calling for over four to mile our wins. That's something

185
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: you gotta think about in terms of how you manage

186
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: pass game, run game, what you do. You don't base

187
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: everything on that because actually whether reports changed, you go,

188
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: but it makes you put in certain things and aspects

189
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: of the game plan that gives you flexibility within situation

190
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: that may not be controllable okay, outside of your realm.

191
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: In terms of you know, what we do game plan wise,

192
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, we felt the best plan for the team

193
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: that success today was to run the ball. I like

194
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: the way the team ran the ball. I like to

195
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: get the ball downhill and the type of runs we ran.

196
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: I was pleased with that. Obviously, you can't have the

197
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: mistakes and the turners early in the game, you know,

198
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: the spot of team four teen plus points and then

199
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: you know you do that other you know, mistakes can

200
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: compound on top of that. The second one of what

201
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: Joe was about, you kept saying about the kickoff return there,

202
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: the lack of the kickoffer turning not not acceptable, not acceptable?

203
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what are the consequences of that? At this point,

204
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: we was gonna make sure we get everything cleared out

205
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: and ironed out and make sure that we don't make

206
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: that mistake again. And that's the biggest thing you have

207
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 1: to understand there, all the players and coaches, we're just

208
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: not going to allow that mistake to happen again. So

209
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: let's not look for any kind of overreaction and read

210
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: between the lines right there. It's just something we gotta

211
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: make sure we get correct and fixed. Okay, to work here,

212
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: Matt Lamartin, Hey, Joe, Um, you kept saying that you

213
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: know your job is to get you guys prepared to

214
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: play and ready. People out there did feel like you

215
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: guys were prepared to play today, and I'm just kind

216
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: of a result of maybe being up against you from

217
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: an injury standpoint and all of those things, or what

218
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: do you think was a big pictures especially falling behind

219
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: the really on the first players. Well, if everything comes

220
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: under my umbrella, right, So I'm not gonna deflect something

221
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: or say that I'm not response for anything. I'm responsied

222
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: for everything. So let's make that clear from the jump. Okay,

223
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ever push blames somewhere else or look

224
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: for someone else to go ahead and step up, all

225
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: right and take something off my shoulders. All right, That's

226
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: what I signed up for. That's what the deal is.

227
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: You know, in terms of you know, preparation, they're a

228
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: good team, they're well coached. Uh, I could say, there's

229
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: really not much that we saw today we weren't directly

230
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: prepared for and things that we anticipated having and coming

231
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: our way. I thought were able to handle lot things

232
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: in a run game positively. Obviously didn't do a good

233
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: enough job in the past past game, you know overall

234
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: as a team, you know, defensively, you know, we had

235
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: a feel on how this game was going to go

236
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: a little bit when they announced Dalton as a quarterback.

237
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: I'd say for the most part that held true, all right,

238
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: and our focus on stopping the run still remained the

239
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: primary focus. There was a couple of drives they got

240
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: in there made them you know, plays moving down the field,

241
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: hit some soft zones at certain times where a position

242
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: makes some you know PV using interception. Other times we

243
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: gotta capitalize on those. We did in a couple, all right.

244
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: And then the kicking game. We knew this would be

245
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: an aggresive type of game plan from them, and I'm

246
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: trying to get the return game going. We had a

247
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: couple of things we put in throughout the week make

248
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: sure we can neutralize that phase right there. Grants and

249
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: explosive returner, he really is that return games a large

250
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: aspect of what their offense does. So we had to

251
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: make sure we went ahead and take took away that

252
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: strength as a team so we can play for the

253
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: field position there. So in turns of being prepared, you know,

254
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: obviously if you don't come out and have success, there's

255
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: a lot of things you've got to correct and adjust

256
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: move forward with. That's our focus right now. Last one

257
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: year via Zoom Push Forwards New York Post Joe. Um,

258
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: obviously you said that the goal was to come out

259
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: and run the ball, and um, um, you know when

260
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: we fold gone fourteen nothing right away, you know that's

261
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: a hard it's a hard road to go right there

262
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: and get down so much so, I mean the way

263
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: that game starting. Um, I don't know if you use

264
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: the word embarrassing, what would where do you use? Maybe

265
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: you wouldn't use that word for how this game started

266
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: and then how it evolves. Just look simply put you know,

267
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: we went down four team points. We weren't going to

268
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: a band in the game plan. So the focus will

269
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: stick with the game plan, keeping on the ball, be productive.

270
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, at that point in the game, guys, it's

271
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: a two possession game, right You saw we got defense

272
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: out there. They able to make a stop. We've got

273
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: to keep playing to that and we gotta play to

274
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: our defense and trust they're gonna keep making stop. So offense,

275
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: we gotta stick to the game plan and grind it out,

276
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: put ourselves in a position that's at the course of

277
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: the game. We keep playing good defense, we have success

278
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: offensively and put ourselves down. You know, look to go

279
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: at me AGGRESSI on some fourth towns it field goals

280
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: when we got to hit them, push to go ahead

281
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: and get first downs in right air if we have

282
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: to and get the ball in the end zone. World. Yeah,

283
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: kind of a big patient feeling him fan. They're kind

284
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: on like they're they're a little head man like watching

285
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: their faith that you're gonna get this turned around, because

286
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean, people are just seen right now. It's I

287
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: guess you know we're talking inside a lot, okay, And

288
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't ever ask for patience from anybody. Let's get

289

Speaker 1: that clear right now, all right. And the fans have

294
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: we sign up for, right And it's New York. It's

295
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: supposed to be a tough place to be certain cities

296
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: in this country that I mean know if the team

297
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: is playing today, all right, So you sign up for

298
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: a job in a city like New York, you expect

299
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: to have this. I'm a shy away from that. I

300
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: don't worry about that at all. But we talk internally.

301
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: You look at a lot of things moving in the

302
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: right direction, and you know the targets of what you

303
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: have to improve going forward. The important thing is we

304
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: know the direct targets of what you have to improve.

305
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: And no, I'm not going to go individually in these today,

306
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 1: all right, but when you know the direct targets of

307
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: exactly what you've got to hit, all right, and you

308
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: look at what you've got to make in a short

309
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: term to go ahead and make a quick turnaround to

310
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: building the things that you've done well. Right, I say,

311
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: at all time, there's things we've done well we got

312
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: to build on. Right, So we look at overall we're doing.

313
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: There's a number of things going in the right direction

314
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: that we know. They are foundational things that things you

315
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: have put in place for a team to have success

316
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: on and off the field, on and off the field. Okay.

317
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: The important thing is when you have those direct targets,

318
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: you've gotta find a way to minimize the things, okay,

319
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: that you struggle with, and you work your hardest to

320
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and make sure you give yourself and your

321
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: team a chance for success by trying to take certain

322
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: aspects away from the game so it can't expose you

323
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: as a weakness, okay, and then you want to play

324
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: your strengths as much as possible. All right. There are

325
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: certain aspects and things that you know, you see on

326
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: tape from around the league. And I talked to the

327
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: guys all the time. Look, this is this is about

328
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: being a team and making sure you don't waste any opportunities.

329
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not sitting there being preachey. I'm gonna tell

Speaker 1: I'll tell you point blank what it is. All right.

333
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: When the guys come to work on Wednesday, okay, and

334
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: they bust their butt for you, and they turn around

00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,679

341
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: to the players all time, guys. I talked them very openly, transparently,

342
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: all right, we'll have captains beings anymore, because you know

343
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: the majority of our captains are longer playing and for

344
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: the remainder of this season, so we do a leadership

345
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: meeting now, all right. I look at the guys the

346
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: other day in the ey, I said, guys, hey, listen,

347
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: this is your time to talk to me. You speak

348
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: for the team. You tell me what's going on. You

349
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: tell me how's the team, how's the be to the team.

350
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: What I gotta be aware of? What's something I don't

351
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: know because everyone always tells me what I want to hear. Right,

352
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: So when I asked someone just individual, I asked a player,

353
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna tell me whatever I want to hear. I

354
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: ask a coach, same type of thing. All Right, I

355
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: gotta have a group of players are gonna look me

356
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: in the eye and they know, like I can tell

357
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: Joe exactly the hell's going on. So I got that

358
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: core group of guys right there, right, you know, you

359
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: look him in the eye and you ask one guy

360
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: the other day and he's the first one to speak up.

361
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to individuals. They can talk for themselves

362
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: later on. But you know, we have one guy said,

363
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: I've never been done a playoff contention. I never knew

364
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: what it was like to be in a position where

365
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: you're actually playing games, not to be in playoffs or

366
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: improved seating or whatever it may be, or get in

367
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You know, didn't know what to expect when

368
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: we're officially eliminated. It was almost an expectation that player

369
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: of how is everyone's going to react, kind of getting

370
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: ready to come in himself and try to get everyone

371
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: going and rally the team a little bit. Okay, And

372
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: then another player spoke up and said that they've never

373
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: been in playoff contention period. All right. They weren't present

374
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: with us last year throughout the remainder of the season,

375
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: uh for a certain reason to even being at last

376
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: year who played on a stretch. Both guys had the

377
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: same response. Though everybody on the team is locked in

378
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: every other. The team comes into work, okay, everybody comes

379
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: in every week and it's committed to doing it to

380
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: do and doing it the right way and playing together

381
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: as a team. Okay. There's a lot of teams right

382
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: now they're out of playoff contention. Okay, where's golf clubs

383
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: in the locker room or people are playing vacations outside

384
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: of it, all right, there's a lot of fingerpoint and

385
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: blaming and shout all that type of stuff. Right, all

386
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: that stuff now, we don't have in our building any

387
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: of that. We got any of that, any of that.

388
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: Our guys know we have one more week this year

389
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: to be this team. They know we have one more

390
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: week this year to be this team, and they expect

391
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: me to show up and every ounce of football I

392
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: got me this next week at that like the get

393
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: everything out of me, But I expect the same in return.

394
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: I just told him a second, that's what I expect.

395
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: The expectation here is I expect every ounce of foot

396
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: ball you got inside of you. Okay. And there's things

397
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: we have a line right now. There's things we have

398
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: in place and where certain units are playing and certain

399
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: players are playing, and we got some foundational core guys,

400
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: and we know the culture strong, all right. I'm gonna

401
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: tell you right now. You guys always asked about that

402
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: off the field stuff and why the hell is so

403
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: important to have culture, Because I'm gonna tell you right now,

404
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: all right, a few years agofore I came here. When

405
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: I came here, I sat down all the players and

406
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: I want to know what it was like and here

407
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: what we had to change on here from their mounts. Alright,

408
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: to a man, every player looked me in the eye

409
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: and said, Joe, it's not a team. They don't play hard.

410
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: We're out of playoffs. Everybody quit. Everybody tapped They stuff

411
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: show up, the captain's meetings, all that stuff, right, they

412
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: tapped out. Okay. I've been a part of teams else places, okay,

413
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna trying to make this place anywhere else

414
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: I've been, but lessons I've learned. Let me tell you

415
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: something right now, all right. In two thousand eighteen, I

416
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: was part of a team who, halfway through the season,

417
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: all right, we were all pretty convinced we were getting fired.

418
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: They think we're gonna make the playoffs. Had no concept

419
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: of anything was coming. We just knew we're gonna keep

420
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: showing up and improving and working week after week. And

421
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: on the outside we're all terrible. We didn't care have

422
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: any of that noise in the outside. I didn't care

423
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: about it all. What do you care about the inside?

424
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Guys showed up, they worked, they fought,

425
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: they worked, who had improven off as a team and

426
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: put things together and make a run and end up,

427
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, win a championship. But the thing I really

428
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: learned that year was the importance of the culture inside,

429
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: how important valuable that is because I was part of

430
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: more talented teams that came up short and lost games

431
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Much more talented, all right. But the

432
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: one thing that really was solidified in my mind in

433
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: my DNA that that year in eighteen was the fact

434
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: that it's so much more important how strong you are inside,

435
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: because no team goes through a smooth season. No team

436
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: goes through a smooth season. So if you can go

437
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: through the junk we're going through right now, okay as

438
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: a team. If you can go through the tough times

439
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: you're going through right now as a team, all right,

440
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: and have a defense, take the field every time, ready

441
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: to play every time. And there's a lot of people

442
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: want to say, hey, guys, you picked off the ball

443
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: and they ran down the ends of you. Guys are

444
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: down big, right, So we can turn around say yeah,

445
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: I guttas get your butts back on the bench board

446
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: down when I celebrate. You know what, though, they play

447
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: every play with enthusiasm, every player with the energy, every

448
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: player with each other. I wanted to celebrate that. I

449
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: want to see the energy in that passion. That's how

450
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: they practice every day. Okay, that's how they practice every day.

451
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: I want to see him play that way as well.

452
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: All right, that last fourth down they stopped him on.

453
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: So that's two games in a row where the game

454
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: was over right, we're out, it's done. Okay, Vegas is

455
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: already paying out people like like that. That's done, all right.

456
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: But it's two fourth downs in a row, two weeks

457
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: in a row that I'm sitting there watching our defense

458
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: finished the way they gotta finish. Fourth down stop Logan

459
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: Ryan last week shooting the gap and stop them, and

460
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: a good wall building the opposite side to stop the run.

461
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: He dropped them back into coverage and making that play

462
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: right there, or on that little kind of tebow wall

463
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: cat pass, whatever the hell you wanna call it, right there,

464
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: all right. So this ain't a team that's having fist

465
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: fights on the sidelines. This ain't some clown show. Organs

466
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: days to something else. Okay, you talk about the foundation

467
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: built some of the things that the toughest thing to

468
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: change in a team, the toughest thing to change in

469
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: the club, is the way people think. You understand that.

470
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: That's the toughest thing. You can get new players. You

471
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: can out in your damn locker room all you want.

472
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,320

474
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: you're doing. And they got to trust the process. And

475
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: that's a lot easier said than done when they're looking

476
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: up right now and you got one game left and

477
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: the most games you don't win it's five this season. Okay,

Speaker 1: the hell I talk about? Foundation right from a building,

499
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: from ground up, building the right thing. Okay, Now, you

500
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: guys ain't been in the building for two years now

501
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: with this code. All right, But I'll tell you right now,

502
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: all right, if you're in the damn building, you walking

506
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: the players locker. You ain't seeing that stuff. Okay, you

507
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: ain't seeing that, all right. And that's not because some

508
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: high school program we're cracking whip its. Because our guys

509
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: understand how to play together as a team and understand

510
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: the process of how they're going through. So I can

511
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: go to a whole x and nose evaluation, go to

512
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: a roster like I can. There a lot of things

513
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: for you right now, Okay, I do it every day myself.

514
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: I go through all that stuff. But in terms of

515
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: the next step to take, I can tell you right now, okay,

516
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: I know we're a whole lot close to where we're going.

517
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: There are further away. I can tell you that right now.

518
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: I can tell we got more players here. Who are

519
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: the free agents next year, all right, who are in

520
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: my office every day begging to come back. I know that, okay.

521
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: I know that the players that we coach last year,

522
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: they still call me twice a week talking about, you know,

523
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: how much they wish they were still here and they're

524
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: getting paid more somewhere else. Okay. So I know we've

525
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: got the right foundational pieces, and I know we have

526
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: some players, some key positions alright, that our guys you

527
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: can build with keep carrying on, all right. I know

528
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: we have the right temperament. I know we got the

529
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: right culture in terms of teaching the players, okay, which

530
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: is why I don't come up here and try assassinate

531
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: some player, which I think it's gonna save my Okay,

532
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: because behind closed doors. We shut those doors. I can

533
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: tell every player, to a man, to look him in

534
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: the eye, exact what the hell he's screwed up on

535
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: and exactly how it's got to get fixed. I can

536
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: tell him to hol him as accountables can be, because

537
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit up here like some other cowards, sit

538
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: mount on my phone and put his players on blast. Okay,

539
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: that's it. I signed through the head coach here. Whatever,

540
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: bull gets fired, but I get fired for me. You

541
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: got that. It's got to go through me to get

542
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: to them. And that's the way it is. But look,

543
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm not asking to be patient. Trust me, guys, I'm

544
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: not the most patient guy myself. I'm committed. I'm committed,

545
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: all right, But I'm the most patient guy myself, all right.

546
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: But I am proud of the way these guys continue

547
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: to fight, in the effort they play with, all right,

548
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: and the way they grind it out. Okay, But again,

549
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: the toughest thing to turnover in the program, the toughest

550
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: thing to change is how people think. Okay, how they think.

551
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: We got guys right now, the wire the right way, okay,

552
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,800
