30
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: other assistant coaches, de Marcus Covington, what's it been like

31
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: working with you know, de Marcus and how would you

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: sort of describe him as a coach. De Marcus is great. Um,

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, we we started around the same time and

34
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: both you know, learn the foundations of the defense and

35
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: then um, you know work well together. Like he's obviously

36
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: more in the front, not more in the back end,

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: but you know, we have a good time together and

38
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: learn from each other. Um. You know, he's he's a

39
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: really good coach. Yeah. And these guys you know, do

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: a great job up there defeating blocks, you know, playing

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: violent and finishing. Um. So yeah, I think it's it's

42
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: kind of cool. You guys have a younger coaching staff,

43
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: you know this year. Is there is there any advantage

44
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: to it? You know, when it comes to relating to

45
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: players or is it all you know? Is that? Does

46
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: that not you know matter at all? Yeah, I mean

47
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: I think just like you're just like your team. You know,

48
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: the people you have, you gotta every year, it could

49
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: be a little bit different. You know, we've we've had

50
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: a lot of cohesion on the defensive staff because we've

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: been together for pretty much I think this would be

52
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: four years, so you know, that's been That's great obviously

53
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: to know the people you work with well, um, and

54
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: to have that cohesion. But you know, whatever the cases,

55
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: whether it's players, coaches, you know, your team is your

56
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: team that year and the job. You know, our job

57
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: is to get the most out of the team, whether

58
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: it's you know, coaches, players whoever, like we whoever it is,

59
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: we gotta you know, work together well and do our

60
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: job well and win games. So that's um. You know,

61
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: whether it's young, young coaches, old coaches, or young players,

62
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: old players, whoever, whoever's there, you know, you always got

63
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: to make it work. So makes sense. It's cool. That's

64
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: all I got for you. I'm looking at
