0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, injuries Ray Ray McLeod. He got cleared, so

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>he's limited, I mean at least by the doctors to

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:11.479
<v Speaker 1>practice and everything. Orren Burke's Limited, Gipson Limited, how Limited,

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Kittle Limited, Mason Limited, Jake Mooney Limited.

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:16.760
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 3>And you confirmed that. Nicholas says signed.

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I can no.

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna try to get here today though, so hopefully

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe I actually was preparing to talk to you guys

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>about how I have nothing to tell you guys, and

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I was three minutes late because I just got told

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of the news, so obviously pumped up about it and

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>try to hit him up after this.

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 2>And figured it out.

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 1>But I know he's trying to get here as fast

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>as possible.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Reef, is this for you? Like? What were your thoughts

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 3>as we were getting closer to Game one?

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Not good thoughts.

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>So but you know, when it feels kind of you

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>don't you try not to think about them much because

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not it's not really in my control and you

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>just got to let the process play itself out. Once

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it kind of went through the weekend, I just kind

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>of got in my mind that we weren't playing with them,

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>so because if I would have gone back and forth,

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I would have been miserable.

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:04.639
<v Speaker 2>So I just decided we weren't.

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>I think our team was ready to or not, and

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>that was our mindset this way, and it was a

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>hell of a bonus to just get told that coming

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>in here.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>So we're obviously real excited about.

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 3>It, realistic come out of snaps for Sunday.

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>How many snaps are in the game. I'm just joking.

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>We got to see when he gets here. I know

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Nick will come in shape. I know he'll be good.

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>It'd be great if he could get into something today.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when he's gonna get here or where he's.

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Fine from, but I know which it. We'll be smart

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>with it, and that'll be based over these next two

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 2>and out practices.

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 4>Plenty of stuff that you got to take care of.

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 4>But how much do you get involved? How did you

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 4>get involved generally in this specifically? Did you ever just say, hey, guy,

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 4>let's just get this done.

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, I always want to get it done,

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's how we feel too. But I didn't

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>get involved in this one at all. I try not

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to at all. It's I mean, we kind of had

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>an idea it was going to be like this. I

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>thought I would come to Fruish sometime last week and

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>it didn't, which made me nervous, made me kind of

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>move on with it just because I thought I had to.

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, we all knew Nick was gonna get

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>rewarded like he did. I don't know the exact details

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>of it, but I knew it would be like that.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Eventually our organization did, and I think Nick did, and

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm just glad we got it worked out on everyone's

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>side because we love Nick. I think he loves being

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>here and he's definitely earned this and he's gonna earn

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>it going forward to.

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 3>You literally just learn or did you get the indication

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 3>that things are getting closer and closer and it could

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 3>pop any second.

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>No, literally just learned. Yeah, what was the first.

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Thing you thought of when when you heard that news?

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Since it was right before I came in here, it

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>was Corey, why you wasting my time with these questions?

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Because they're not gonna ask me these questions anymore.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 2>So that was it.

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 1>And now I'm really excited to go out there and

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>have some other thoughts, start talking to the coaches and

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>things like that. But once this weekend ended, we kind

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of had to stop thinking that way. I mean, if

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you start half in, half out when you don't know,

0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean that can really that can mess up at

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>the plans and things like that get people in the

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>wrong position. So we've kind of been just one track,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>just hoping it would work out, but ready for not

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to and the fact it did.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Obviously everyone knows how pump we are.

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 5>No you, Chris Steve, have you? You guys work on

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 5>like a plan for what he was going to be

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 5>doing in Florida these weeks that he wasn't playing with

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 5>the team. Is he doing D line drills? What kinds

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 5>of things was he doing?

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, probably the same stuff he does every other

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>days down there, which is stuff that he knows how

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to do for D line.

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Nick is a smart player in our scheme.

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>It's not the most complicated thing for the D line,

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>but he's very good at it. So Nick's been on

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>his own completely, and that's why I don't want to

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>answer too much. I got to see when he gets here,

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>But we've got to know Nick pretty well, and I

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of expect when he gets here to look and

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>act and be in the same spot he's been since

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the day.

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 3>We met him corresponding move yet or is or does

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 3>that happen when he puts pen to paper?

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 2>No, we haven't. Just I can't believe you guys know,

0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I thought we were the only ones that know.

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 3>So any question and this at this point, whether he's

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 3>going to be in uniform.

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>On Sunday, I mean there is question because we haven't

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>seen him. But I think you guys know how I'm talking,

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>like I have to be. You have to have a

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>beer belly and be out of shape or something that's

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>switch that's not in in Bosa's DNA.

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 4>Don't know if you justed, but do you tell players do?

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 4>What do you do when you hear this?

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to tell guys. They'd be excited.

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>By the time I tell everyone, they'll probably think it's

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>old news and ask why I don't get that. Everyone

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>gets stuff a lot faster than that. So they all know,

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure by now, and I know they'll be excited.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 5>Picture, you have a group of guys who have a

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 5>veteran nucleus that's been around for a while, bit older,

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 5>and then you have some young guys kind of emergent.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 5>Bolst is like right in the middle of that at

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 5>twenty five years old. How important is it to have

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 5>somebody like him who can set the standard for maybe

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 5>kind of that next nucleus.

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>So to speak. I think it's huge.

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's what we've been trying to do

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>since we've gone here, and we've had some free agents

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>that we've gone and paid for, you know. You know,

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I know we did hard great this year, and you

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>go back to Mooney a couple of years ago, but

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, you know, we got trend in

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the trade who ended up getting that after being here

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>a year.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's the goal of.

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>How you want to do it. You want your players

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to see that. You hope you get the guys who

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>play the right way and at a certain level and you.

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Can reward them.

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think it started with I want

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to go back to Fred and Debo and Kittle and

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>all those guys, and Nick was either the year after them, right,

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>I think the year after So I like to have

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>one each year.

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Guys following Nicked lead already in terms of, like, you know,

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 3>I aspire to that kind of you know, the work

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 3>ethic and the.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Discipline and all those times.

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it just I think everyone's a product in

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>their environment. So everyone thinks they are based off of

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>people they're around. And then when you get around different

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>people or you, you think you're one way or another.

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>And then you see when someone like how Fred Warner

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.280
<v Speaker 1>comes in every day and works. You see how dedicated

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Bosa is to his craft, not just here but a

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>year around. You see things like that from people you

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>knew before you came, and I think that's what makes

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>everyone change. I mean, everyone has a certain standard, and

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>then when you see other people at a higher standard

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>who also play at a higher level, that kind of

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>brings everybody up and shows you what it takes to

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>be this good in this league, to make it this league,

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and when you have that ability to be in a

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 1>situation like this to be great.

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 3>What are your guidelines for Moody to decide whether.

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>He plays, Just as long as he doesn't have a setback.

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>He's looking good now and I feel good about him

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'd be surprised if he's not there. So we'll

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>keep going at the pace we're at. As long as

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have a setback, we should be all right.

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Captain season, yes we have.

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>It was Armstead brock Purty George Kittle, Deebo, Fred Warner,

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and Trim Williams.

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Captain pretty early as careers, Like Trey wasn't We're going

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 4>to pick train? Wasn't the last season? Did you want

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 4>to see that? Is it important to you that your

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 4>starting quarterbacks a captain?

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It really isn't to me. I thought about this when

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I became a head coach.

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean when you think really hard about the captains

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and stuff, and I mean, be cool if there was

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>just one on each, which I kind of like and stuff,

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>But then it becomes a little bit of a popularity

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>contest with the players. I never have to want to

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.239
<v Speaker 1>get involved and tell them I disagree or anything.

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 2>So I always just get their top guys. I have

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>them all vote for four people.

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>You get a first place, second place, third place, and

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>fourth place vote.

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I get the top eight, and then you just signe

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 2>off of that.

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>And we went one through six, and I think the

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>most we've kept as seven before. But you know, there's

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>lots there's a lot more than six guys on our

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>team who could do it. And so that's why it's

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing I tried not to make too big

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a deal about because you're gonna find someone on your team.

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do.

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's I mean, I definitely do. It's when

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>you go out and you play like he did last year,

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what it is. I mean, it's hard to be

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>seen as a leader when you haven't been out there before.

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Guys can think you're a leader. You can act like

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>a leader, but guys don't follow many people who don't

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>produce on the field. And I think that's why he

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>got so many votes this year, because I think they

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>bleed him and felt he was one of the leaders

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>last year, not because he's being some vet and talking

0:07:58.240 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to guys a certain way, just because I have a

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>how he prepares that they can count on him, and

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>how he handled a number of situations when he.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Got in there, like after he admittedly wasn't.

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it says a ton.

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it says how I was happy for DBO

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>we got that. I think he was disappointed he did

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>last year. I know he was, and for him to

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>be one of those guys, especially a last year ended

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit for him. I think it shows how

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>dedicated he's been. You guys have seen it out on

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.319
<v Speaker 1>the field, and you guys have written about and stuff

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and players field strongly also one of them.

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 5>Pittsburgh's defense, What do they look like on film? What's

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 5>the traits of a throw Austin Mike Tomlin defense.

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>They they play as hard as anyone. Their d line,

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>their linebackers, their secondary they all get after it and

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>they're extremely physical group. We haven't played him for a

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>number of years, but I mean just watching Hayward, watching

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Watt Minka, I mean those guys not only they're as

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>talented as it gets, but the mindset they play with,

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.719
<v Speaker 1>the effort they play with. You know, when we don't

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>see a team for a while because you know, not

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>being the AFC, and it's been like three three four

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>years since we've gone against them, you don't know how

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>where they've come. And it's very obvious why they won

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 1>seven out of the last nine games. It's just watching

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>the defense side of the ball, and then get into

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 1>their offense, seeing some of the players they have, and

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the way that quarterback has been playing, and the way

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you played last year at the end of the year,

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:26.319
<v Speaker 1>it's been real impressive.

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 6>You're more of a realist. John Ledge seems a little

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 6>bit more like he's a little bit more positive. Did

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 6>you guys did that help you.

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>I love how you said that. I'm not a negative guy,

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 2>all right.

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 6>This whole process with like most of that, he's kind

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 6>of seems more eternally positive.

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I prepared myself from the beginning, so I never was

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>expecting it right away, so which helps me stay more positive.

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's yeah, I got a little different in these

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>last couple of days.

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 2>But I haven't been doing it for a while.

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.199
<v Speaker 1>John John has the personality for this stuff. He does

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a good job with it. I know it's been hard

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>because I know how bad John leaves and Nick and

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted him here for our team, so I know how

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>much stressed he was feeling that pressure to try to

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>get it done, not only him, but Prague and hamp

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and I could tell when they walked in my door

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>before I came in here, on their face and really

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>just their energy that they had got it done because

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>it was.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 2>It was weighing on him a little bit.

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 1>It was important to get him in here, just not

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>for us to just have a better chance to win,

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.839
<v Speaker 1>but because the person we know and how big a

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>part of a team he is for us.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 3>How long they've been allowed to stay in the office,

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:40.080
<v Speaker 3>if they.

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 5>Hadn't gotten done.

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>If they what if they hadn't gotten it done.

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>They came, it wouldn't have been very long. They probably

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 1>want to come down. It's when it's Wednesday, things are

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>a little tighter.

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:49.959
<v Speaker 6>Many celebrations. Between the four of me.

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>There was a couple of bro hugs and congratulations and

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 1>now I told them to go enjoy their day.

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 2>No, we gotta get on to real football. Have to

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>get involved at the last minute. What's that?

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:01.839
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever think you'd have to get involved in

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 3>this at the last minute or uh?

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Not really? I mean when I, if I do, it's

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 2>always just to talk to.

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.560
<v Speaker 1>The player, and I didn't have to do that, So

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad.

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:13.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, thanks guys,
