1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: Morning. I was wondering if you could take this inside

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: what it's like to be calling a game in the

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: final forty five seconds like Sunday. I'm curious if it's

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: for you or for the staff in general, if it's

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: any more frenetic. I know you've practiced this all week

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: in situational football, but I'm curious if it's what it's

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: like calling a game in that particular scenario no timeouts,

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: versus calling a game in the middle of the third quarter. Yeah,

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: it's uh, yeah, it's definitely a different situation. I think

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: that you know, you know the scenario, you know all

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: the variables. You know, whether that's timeouts that you have

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: left time on the clock, you know the down and

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: distance that you know that you need to get, you know,

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: whatever the situation might be. Certainly you obviously know what

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: you need to get done on the drive. In that case,

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: it was to score a touchdown. And then the different

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: part of it is really you know, as each play unfolds,

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: then that entire set of scenarios and variables changes all

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: over again immediately, and it's a very fluid process. You know,

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: you go from first and ten at your own thirty

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: five to now it's first and ten at the plus thirty.

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: You know, you're looking at the clock because you know

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: how much time there is. You're also calling the next

24
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: play that fits the situation based on the field position

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: and trying to to get that communicated as quick as

26
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: you can to the quarterback so he can distribute that

27
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: information to the other players, you know, any reminders that

28
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: you know you might be given him, you know, along

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: the way, and and then you know, just being mindful

30
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: of the things that you want to try to get

31
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: done in those types of situations because time is obviously

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: the factor that you know, changes the entire dynamic of

33
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: that setup. You know, in the first quarter when you're

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: calling plays, you're not worried about what's on the clock

35
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: in that situation. You're almost entirely concerned about, you know,

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: the usage of the time that you have left and

37
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: trying to protect that as much as possible, so you know,

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: taking a short completion for two yards and getting tackled,

39
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, versus throwing the ball away and saving the time.

40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of little things that are

41
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: going on in those types of situations, and our obviously

42
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: our quarterback is very well schooled and versed because of

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: all the experience he's he's had in handling those situations.

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I think another thing that really is important in those

45
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: situations is, you know, to stay calm and not let

46
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: the you know, the imminent ending of the game. You know,

47
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: that's you know, you know the game's going to be

48
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: over shortly, or at least the quarter's going to be over. Um,

49
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, to to force you to do anything that

50
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: you wouldn't ordinarily do. You know, stay calm, stay poised,

51
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: think clearly, make good decisions, and try to do the

52
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: best you can to put the team in the right

53
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: situation and let those guys go out there and play

54
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: and do do do what they can to to to

55
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: score and to win that situation. Um, as it comes up.

56
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: And how well would you say you guys did that

57
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday as a as a group, as a unit,

58
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: not one again we whenever we don't finish the drive, UM,

59
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: it's it's never good. So UM, you know you could

60
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: put that right on me. I. You know, obviously I

61
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: didn't do well enough at the very completion of the drive.

62
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: You know, I thought we were doing, um, we were

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: doing really well, you know, moving the ball, we got

64
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: it into the scoring zone quick enough that we didn't

65
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: have to um, you know, um do anything dramatic. And

66
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think we made it to the ten

67
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: or eleven yard line. And again, whenever you have any

68
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: kind of negative situations, it kind of resets the whole scenario.

69
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: And you know, we had a penalty there and put

70
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: us in a situation it's a little bit longer yardage

71
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: obviously in that scenario. So you know, each one of

72
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: them is different. I have to do a good job.

73
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: I have to do a better job than we did

74
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: at the end of that drive to to get that

75
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: thing in the end zone and to give our chance,

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: our team a chance to win the game. And and

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: hopefully I'll learn from that one's best I can and

78
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: try to apply it here going forward next week. Great,

79
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: Thank you, Josh. Next question to have them bizarre, followed

80
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: by Karen Greeting, Ah, hi, Josh, I just wanted to

81
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: ask you, how do you feel that you guys have

82
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: done adjusting to what teams are doing to you in games.

83
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: Tom Man after the game on Sunday that the stealers

84
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: through some new wrinkles at you guys that maybe you

85
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: weren't expecting. So I was just curious how you found

86
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: that you guys have done adjusting away from the game

87
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: planner or whatever and kind of fixing things that are

88
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: attacking things differently depending on how the teams are playing you. Um,

89
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: you know, I think that happens every week. UM. That's

90
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: definitely not a um, a unique thing for us to encounter,

91
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: nor is it a unique thing for other teams to encounter. UM.

92
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: I think just this nature of the National Football League. UM,

93
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: there's not not many teams are going to let you

94
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: just you know, practice against what you you know, thought

95
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: they were going to do, and then they're going to

96
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: do exactly that the whole game and let you you know,

97
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with you know, you know what you're seeing,

98
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: et cetera. So sometimes we get more of that, sometimes

99
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: we get less. That's dependent on the team, the coach,

100
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: the personnel they have available. UM. And so we you know,

101
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: we usually encounter that every single week. UM. You know,

102
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: and sometimes sometimes the results are better than others. Sometimes

103
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: you need to change more things than others to try

104
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: to continue to have success. So, UM, you know, whenever

105
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: we lose and don't do well enough, there's so many

106
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: things we could have done better and M and again

107
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: that's my responsibility and hopefully I'll learn from from Sunday

108
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: and try to try to be better moving forward. And UM,

109
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: but our staff does a really good job of identifying

110
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: problems quickly. We get great information from the press box,

111
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: our players give us good feedback during the game, and

112
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: we try to do the best things we can each week. UM.

113
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: During the game as as quickly as we can make

114
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: an adjustment, if there's there's one that needs to be made,

115
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: we try to make it and UH and go out

116
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: there and hopefully have as much success as we can

117
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: on the next possession. Thanks jos MHM. Next question Karen

118
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: carry Hi Josh, Um, I am how you doing? I'm guessing, UM, great,

119
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that James White's production or his touches have

120
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: gone down in recent weeks with the return of Rex Burkett.

121
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: Is it hard to now, you know, get him involved

122
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: more in the game because you're trying to h you know,

123
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: get Burkett and everyone else involved. Um. You know, anytime

124
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: you have multiple guys at that play a similar position

125
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 1: that are capable of doing good things in the game,

126
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: you obviously have choices to make and Um, you know,

127
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: sometimes those choices mean, um, you know, more or less

128
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: of something, and other times there are factors that are

129
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: not necessarily in our control that affect overall production and

130
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: ability to get one person the football. Certainly, James is

131
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: a player that has been very successful and productive in

132
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: his role, and other teams are aware of that. You know,

133
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: he gets plenty of attention from other people, and and

134
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: sometimes that means, you know, the ball needs to go

135
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: somewhere else. And sometimes we can still find a way

136
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: to get him, get him to football and let him

137
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to make plays. I mean, he's obviously

138
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: a very good player for us, has been tremendous and

139
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: his role is very valuable. So the more he touches it,

140
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: the more we can get it to him. You know,

141
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: we usually feel very good about those opportunities. Again, sometimes, um,

142
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: there are other things that determine whether we can or

143
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: can't get it to him. And there's usually other than

144
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: screen passes or or run plays. There's usually other things

145
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, available on the play and based on what

146
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: we're seeing in the coverage and so on and so forth. Um,

147
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, we try to do the best thing we

148
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: can on each pass play if it is you know,

149
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 1: a scheme where there's a lot of guys out in

150
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: the route, so, um, you know he needs to be involved.

151
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: He certainly has been a tremendous player for us, and

152
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, the more he can touch the ball, the

153
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: better off we all feel. If I can just follow.

154
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: Have you found that perhaps over the second half, teams

155
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: are paying more attention to him when he when he

156
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: is out there. I think that anytime you have a

157
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: player that is a productive guy in his role, I mean,

158
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: other teams are very well coached. Other teams have players

159
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: that are aware of, you know, the strengths and weaknesses

160
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: of our skill players and our our a linemen, and um,

161
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: they try to do the best things they can schematically

162
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: or otherwise to neutralize some of those guys. So I

163
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: would say that James has seen some different looks. Um,

164
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: There's definitely been some teams that have tried to do

165
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: things to, you know, limit the amount of times he

166
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: can have it, but that always opens up opportunities for

167
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: other people. So you know, there's there's production other places

168
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: in the game that may be due to the attention

169
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: that you know, one or two other skill players are

170
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: getting and that's just the nature of football. If they're

171
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: going to try to, you know, put a lot of

172
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: focus on one or two guys, and the other guys

173
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: that are available in the pattern have to come through

174
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: when their opportunities come up, and hopefully we can get

175
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: the ball to them and make some productive plays. Also,

176
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: thanks stress, more questions and we'll have time here, but

177
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: I'll try to get through these. Uh. Phil Perry's next

178
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: fallowed by Mike Reefs. Hey, Josh, um, just wondering on

179
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: the final play of the game. What went into this

180
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: to take Josh Gordon off and have Cordarrell Patterson come on? Yeah,

181
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: we had just um, you know, we had just kind

182
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: of you know, run quite a few plays in a row.

183
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: I know there was a time out there before that. Um,

184
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: you know both of those guys have you know, um

185
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: worked at that spot and you know, in that type

186
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: of a situation based on what we were doing. Um,

187
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: you know, we just we made the choice to go

188
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: ACP at that point. Um. No, no h ulterior motive

189
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: on that at all, just you know, put a fresh

190
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: guy in to go ahead and do something, you know,

191
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: on the last play to see if we can you know,

192
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: get in the end zone and um, you know it

193
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: is what it is. Thanks m Yeah, go Mike Reese

194
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: fall And the last question we Rich Carvers Mike, Thanks Josh.

195
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: How are you good? How you know Mike good doing well?

196
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: I just thought I actually was going to ask about

197
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Cordarrell Patterson just sort of bigger picture. I mean, he's

198
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: on the field there on that play, made the big

199
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: third down catch, almost had the other conversion that was

200
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: overturned on the replay. Obviously reflective of a player that

201
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: has earned the confidence of you and the coaching staff

202
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: to be on the field in those critical situations. What

203
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: have you learned about him this year? The more you've

204
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: got to work with him about his you know that

205
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: that puts him in position for you guys to put

206
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: him on the field and most critical situations. Uh, you know,

207
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: CP's a talented guy. He he's also an extremely versatile

208
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: player and an unselfish guy. UM. I mean you guys

209
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: have obviously seen seen him do everything from be a

210
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: lead blocker to you know, be the goal line running back,

211
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: and he's played receiver, he's a kickoff returner. Um, he's

212
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: played multiple positions on our team and you know a

213
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: lot of that is determined by the week or the

214
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: plan in terms of what we think we're going to

215
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: get defensively and how things are unfolding. Um. But he,

216
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: you know, he embraces his role each week. Um. He

217
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: comes to work with a tremendous attitude. Um, he practices

218
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: really hard, and he's trying to get better each and

219
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: every each and every day that he's out there. And

220
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: so I think he's uh, he's learned all the respect

221
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: that he gets from from not only the coaching step,

222
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: but the locker room, the players. And he's a tough

223
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: guy who's unselfish and does anything that he can to

224
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: help the team win, which is really all you can

225
00:13:52,400 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: ask as a coach of any player. Thanks Jeff. Last question, well, Josh, Um,

226
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: I guess you know, different situations, different players, different games.

227
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: But um, what are your thoughts on the what seems

228
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: to be a we pondering to drop passes this season? Um,

229
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's never really one there's never really one

230
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: reason for um anything, Uh uh like that. I mean

231
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different types of of past plays. Um. Again,

232
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: I think I think as a group, you know, we

233
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: catch the ball. Well, uh, they obviously work on it.

234
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Every day in practice. UM, and we have a tremendous

235
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: amount of confidence in our skill group. So, UM, you know,

236
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: if there was one thing that kept showing up over

237
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: and over, you know in terms of um, a specific

238
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: style of catch or the way our hands were placed

239
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: or coming from left to right or to laughter or

240
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: over the shoulder or what have you, then that would

241
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: be one thing I do not see that. I mean

242
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: this is you know, it's the National Football League. You know,

243
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: guys are gonna, you know, have opportunities that are tough

244
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: catches and sometimes they're gonna make them and sometimes they're not.

245
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean that you know that they don't

246
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: catch the football well because our group does. So we've

247
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: got a lot of confidence in them. And we just

248
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: keep working and and fundamentally focusing on the things that

249
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: you need to do well to catch the football consistently.

250
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: And you go back out there and practice and and uh,

251
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, anything that you're not doing well, uh you know,

252
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: one week, you you know, may make an emphasis of

253
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: and try to fix and um, you know, do it

254
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: better than next week. And that's what we're gonna try

255
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: to do. It's real quick, is um you mentioned fundamental

256
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: they assume securing the ball as the first priority, because

257
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of those drops are just

258
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: people turn in a field before they actually have the

259
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: ball secured in their hands. Well, you know, there's a couple,

260
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, there's defenders involved, there's you know, people flashing

261
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: in front of them, and all the rest of it.

262
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: And again, we don't we don't make excuses for any

263
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: of those things. Um, if our guys had an opportunity

264
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: to catch the football, they'll be the first ones to

265
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: tell you that they should secure it. And again, there's

266
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: nothing more important to the team's success than taking care

267
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: of the football. So whether we have it and we

268
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: have to keep it, or the balls being thrown to

269
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: us and we have to secure it, um, that's obviously

270
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: paramount to our success offensively and as a team. So UM,

271
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: it's something that we'll continue to try to work hard

272
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: at and improve as we can. And UM, I know

273
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: our guys take a lot of pride in that, and um,

274
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, and like I said, we have a tremendous

275
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: amount of confidence in our group. Thanks a lot, Josh

276
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: m Thank you, Josh, thank you, guys.
