In terms of the guys on our roster 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: right now, Um, we'll have three guys that won't participate 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: in practice, McLeod Robinson and Robinson.

I got to 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: learn their strengths or weaknesses. I need a good look 16 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: from our our show team which we had last week, 17 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: which was a really important factor for getting ready for Tennessee, 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: and you know, with that will open it up respect 19 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: to have got them. This week's falling now. Yeah, is that? 20 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: I don't know. I know in Pendix like is that? 21 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: Could that be more than one week? I have no, 22 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I had a cousin who 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: had it in it. You know, I can't tell you 24 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: how long. I don't know if anybody can really tell 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: you how long. When it comes to that. It's uh, 26 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, just wish him well. Took care of it 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: as soon as we could. And next man up mentality 28 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: following a win. Is there a bounce that stars following 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: a win? Is there a bounces there are a feeling 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 1: around the facility that that you can that you can feel, 31 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: I think again, just to go back to what I 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: talked about the day after Um. You know, it's always 33 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: better coming in after a win, but you gotta make 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: it about what you need to work on. It's a 35 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: long season and I think our guys have done a 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: good job of turning the page and and focusing on 37 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: the things which are important, which is the process, our preparation, 38 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: our practice Um for today, sitting the next man up. 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: I wonder who is the next man up? It'll be. 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: It'll be just like, you know, all the other positions 41 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: that we've done. You know, we have guys on the roster, 42 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: whether in the practice squad Um, that are going to compete. 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: You know flot Moreau, you know McLeod. Will See where 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: he's at Zion Lane. So we got a group in 45 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: there to work, to compete and you know, we'll end 46 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: up picking like we usually do and Friday evening usually. 47 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: What do you think of it? May feels career to 48 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: this point and also know what kind of challenges he 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: presents now in this new setting he's got. Yeah, well, 50 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: I'M NOT gonna get into his whole career. I'll just 51 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: say that I and we, when I was getting ready 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: to when we drafted Josh, did a ton of work 53 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: on Baker. I got a tremendous amount of respect for him. 54 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time with them, uh, in 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: the pre draft process. He's got a very live arm. 56 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: He's a Gamer. Um. You know, every situation for a 57 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: young quarterback, we've talked about this at length, is different, Um, 58 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: and you know he's a good football player. He's he's 59 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: been a winner, Um, and I think he's doing a 60 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: good job here with with Carolina. What are the pros 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: and do you do you plan on doing the same 62 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: thing in left guards this week and what are the 63 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: pros and cons of doing it that way. We'll see 64 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna. Well, we'll rotate them here in practice and 65 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: then by Friday evening we'll make a decision. But you know, 66 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: Zudo is a young player that we're we're developing and 67 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: and broticon has done a good job throughout camp of 68 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: playing every position that we asked him too. So they 69 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: both earned it. They earned it with their preparation, they 70 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: earned it with their practice habits, Um, and they both 71 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: deserved to play. We'll see how it goes this week. 72 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: Um could be the same, could be different. When did 73 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: you realize if we're gonna do that? Yeah, yeah, we 74 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: usually talk about Um. You know how we're going to 75 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: exactly play the guys? You know, Friday evening, after the 76 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: last day of practice on Friday to give it a 77 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: full evaluation. Let him go through every practice, you know, 78 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: make sure we review the test that we give out, 79 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: that they understand the material. There's a whole thought process 80 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: that goes into it and you know, I'll talk to 81 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: the offensive staff for the defensive staff, give him my 82 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: input and then collectively make a decision out. Coach can 83 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: talk about the difference is Christian McCaffrey poses us as 84 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: far as challenges versus a Derrick Henry. Yeah, too. Well, 85 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: two very, very good players in that position. Um, you know, 86 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: McCaffrey is is a dynamic you know, with the ball 87 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: in his hand as well. Maybe a little bit different, 88 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: you know. Obviously doesn't have the size, but he's a 89 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: hard player to cover. Um, he's very, very good in space. 90 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: He can take it to the distance. Anytime he touches 91 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: the ball. They can line him up at one to 92 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: three in the backfield. Um, he can bring tackles, but 93 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: he's a he's very athletic, he's you know, he's a 94 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: unique player in the fact that he can do a 95 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: lot of things playing that running back position, but he 96 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: can also do him on the perimeter if they choose 97 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: to use them. They're very careful with the number of 98 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: snaps and kind of touches that he's getting. I'm wondering 99 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: where you stand on how you approach that with Kwan. 100 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: Do you how much do you use analytics? How much 101 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: do you like? How do you go about deciding, you know, 102 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: what's the right amount and what could be too much 103 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: for guys that are no that's a good question. Sure, 104 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: I know I understand it completely. H I'd say it's 105 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: the dictated kind of how the game plan goes, but 106 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: also the flow of the game and there's Times where 107 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: Se Kua came out last game and Brita went right 108 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: in there and ran the ball well. In terms of 109 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: a number of Jordans. I don't. I don't go into 110 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: the game and saying, Hey, we you know, let's get 111 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: him fifty plays or let's get him twenty touches. I 112 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: think you know that's an adjustment part of the game too. 113 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: Obviously he's a very good player. You want him to 114 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: touch the ball, but again, how he's feeling, how you're 115 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: communicating on the sideline. Hey, I need a series here 116 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: or I need to Um. You know, we just talked 117 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: about it that way. There's not we're gonna just give 118 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: him or anything like season minds there that you know. 119 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: Do you come into the season looking at with him 120 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: or no. No, I mean he's he's been healthy. You know, 121 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: he's been fully cleared. He's been out here. We do 122 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: that in practice, Um, and we obviously we took some 123 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: stuff off him in the preseason with the hits that 124 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: you know he'll probably accrue here. I think that's will 125 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: constantly evaluate that with the medical staff and the strength 126 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: staff if when you need to do something different. At 127 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: this point, you know, a week two he's you know, 128 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: he's fresh, he's healthy. Um. So based on how the 129 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: game's going, I think that will dictate a lot of it, right. 130 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: Did you? Um? Um, this was the first time. Obviously 131 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: in the summer you're not really game planning. You know 132 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: you're putting in this whole new offense. This is the 133 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: first you know, real thing. Um, how do you think 134 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Daniel handled that whole process and did you learn anything 135 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: from him in that first game, because that's the first 136 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: game you actually you know you have to do when 137 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: you a sure we try, I mean you try to 138 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: mock it, you know during camp with grips and things 139 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: like that, relative to what he likes and doesn't like, 140 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: and have that open line of Communication. You know he's 141 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: always gonna be the first one in and the last 142 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: one to leave. I thought he had really good input 143 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: as to some of the things that, you know, maybe 144 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: we threw out. We've done this throughout the summer, but 145 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: you know he's up there every day meet with Mike. 146 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: You know I don't like this or you know, think 147 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: about this one. He gives good input, you know, and 148 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: again if there's plays that you like as a coaching 149 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: staff that you think, Hey, this would be a really 150 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: good play against his defense. You know, sometimes I've I've 151 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: been around players like, well, I don't like that play. Well, 152 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: let me show you the reason why we have it 153 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: in and then if you still don't like it after 154 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: we practice it, no problem. But he's done a really 155 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: good job preparing, which is no surprise. And then, uh, 156 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: you know, he's been in here early today. He's been 157 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: working on it for the last couple of days. So 158 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: was there anything, any play or anything that you gotta handle? 159 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: He said, you know, maybe the run or something, and 160 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: that's the kind of a bold move with the run 161 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: there or something. Now, in terms of decisions and the 162 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: things that we asked him to do, whether it was 163 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: a chat or get out of something. Um, you know, 164 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: he was all over it. Do you have to regard 165 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: situation what you would you prefer? And an ideal work 166 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: for the contuity there where you one guy separates himself, 167 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: they have one guy in there the whole game. I 168 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: mean usually that will happen, you know, sometime during the year, 169 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: but I think again. I'll just say it again. They've 170 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: earned the right to do it. They've earned the right 171 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: to play with their performance on the practice field, with 172 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: their consistency, with how they handle things. They both, you know, 173 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: we feel give us a chance to win and you know, 174 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: we think that was the best thing to do for 175 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: that game. Now. Does that change in week two, or 176 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: week three or week four? Certainly it could. But you know, 177 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: the communication with those players, they they're they're really good. 178 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: Both of them are really good. They're on top of 179 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: their stuff, they know what to do. Um they communicate 180 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: well with the tackle, with the center. So you know, 181 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: those guys know they both deserve that game for for 182 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: that opportunity and you have to tell your guys. Will 183 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: remind your guys to keeping even Keel. It's only one win. 184 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: We know that giant fans are ecstatic right now. Do 185 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: you have to let them know that? Yeah, we talked 186 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: about that on Monday. I think they're fully aware of it. 187 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: It's it's the national football league and you know, haven't 188 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: been part of it a long time for myself, but 189 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: even if you're only part of it as a young 190 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: player for a couple of years, I think they understand that. 191 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: You know, one week really has nothing to do with 192 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: the next week. It's a one game season. Every week. 193 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: Teams are very, very good, um. So we have to 194 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: focus on improving our skill set and doing the things, 195 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, that we didn't do well enough that game 196 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: and improve that throughout the throughout the course of this week, 197 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: and it will happened the same thing next week, regardless 198 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: of the result is. Let's just keep a positive mindset 199 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: and let's communicate with one another and the things we 200 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: need to work on. Let's make sure coaching wise, we're 201 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: doing the drills we need to work on that come 202 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: from the first game that we didn't do well. You know, 203 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: maybe we did something last week in an individual drill that, 204 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: you know what, we really need to do it different 205 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: this week. We don't keep it the same based on 206 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: how we played and the things we gotta work on. 207 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: So I think staying in a moment for everybody, Um, 208 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: in our organization is important and focusing on you know, 209 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, Jon Dale. Are you waiting on any 210 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: more tests to determine the severity of his injury? No, no, 211 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: not right now. He's, you know, he's grinding back. I mean, 212 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: I'd say the difference of him from the day after 213 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: the game to even today is pretty significant. So we'll 214 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. We're not gonna put him 215 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: out there today, but it's he's he's got a lot 216 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: better just in those two days, so we'll see where 217 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: it goes. Right. Did you notice that prepping for the 218 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: home opener, knowing listen to fans are gonna be wrapped 219 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: up coming off the big win? Yeah, I mean, I'm 220 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: glad you asked that. You know, we're you know, this 221 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: has been a great spot for myself and, I know, 222 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: for the coaches and our families and the people around 223 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: this community Um, and I understand how important New York 224 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: football giants are to a lot of people around here 225 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: and they're import to us. I mean, I've I've come 226 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: across a lot of great people in this community Um 227 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: and had some really good conversations and and I'm looking 228 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: forward to being on this sideline where, you know, it's 229 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: always cool as a coach you pull up Um to 230 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: the parking lots and you get a sense even before 231 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: you go into the game, but what kind of day 232 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: the fans are gonna have. Um, and I love our 233 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: Fan Base I love to support. You know, they're on 234 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: you when it's bad and and the support you when 235 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: it's good. and Um, that's the way it is. You know. 236 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: That's that's this area, that's this I mean, I know 237 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: I grew up in western New York on the other 238 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: side of it, but h New York, New Jersey mentality. 239 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm looking forward to having a packed 240 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: house and, you know, them being as loud as they 241 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: can be on on third down, when Carolina is on offense, 242 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: and you know, they're pretty smart fans up here. So, uh, 243 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: the more we can get in there, the better it 244 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: will be. And you know, they're they're part of our 245 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: our team on Home Games, Um, and I've firmly believe 246 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: that wherever I've been the places that have great support 247 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: like we do, you go into those places, it's hard, 248 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to communicate as an offense when 249 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: you're on the other side and you get a lot of, 250 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, energy when you're playing special teams and on defense. 251 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: And we got to give them a reason to to 252 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: cheer two Um, and that's why we're working the way 253 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: we're working and focused on what we're focused on. Probably 254 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: did you notice anything from Cavon on the sideline during 255 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: the game and did you bring an energy or did 256 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: he in particular? Now, I mean he came up and 257 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: hugged me kind of right after the game and, uh, 258 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: the thing I did appreciate about the guys that weren't playing, 259 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: that we're on the sideline, are playing, you know, maybe 260 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: not as much as they they wanted to play, was 261 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: the support of their teammates, how excited they were talking 262 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: to the guys on the on the bench, giving them 263 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: indicators what they saw. You know, Katie running down the 264 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: field chairing for Ritchie. You know we kicked the field goal. 265 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: You see a backflip. You CADARIUS is six FT up 266 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: in the air jumping and he only played, what was it? 267 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: Jordan's seven? Seven snaps. So, like that's what we're trying 268 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: to build. It's not always going to be perfect. Um, 269 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm certainly not going to be perfect, but the chemistry 270 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: and sticking together. Um, you know, we're gonna have tough times. 271 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: We all know that. So I think that's that's a 272 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: testament to those guys. Would take one more. I didn't 273 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: have anything. So it was the challenge then to keep 274 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: that going. That Camaraderie, that chemistry, and continue that throughout 275 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: the season. I think that's always a challenge because, again, 276 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: you walk into a facility on a Monday morning or 277 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning after you put everything you have into it. 278 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: You put everything you have. You you know, coaches, they 279 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: don't sleep, players, their bodies are sore, they're working through it, 280 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: they're studying extra, they're meeting, they're getting up earlier. You 281 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: put everything you got into it and you fall short, Um, 282 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: whether it's by close or you know you don't do 283 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: a good enough job and it's by a lot. Uh. 284 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: You know, it weighs on it because it's important to 285 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: you and that's the type of people we want in 286 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: our building, is people that it's really important to so 287 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: you know it sucks. It sucks when you lose a 288 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: game and when you win a game you're happy about it, 289 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: but you you turn the page rather quickly and focus 290 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: on the things that are important to getting better, and 291 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: that's you know, in the early part of the season. Well, 292 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to do, I mean really throughout the season, 293 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: is just try to get better and it's hard to 294 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: not focus on results. It's hard. So I challenge those 295 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: guys every day to focus on the things that they 296 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: can control and that I can control and if if 297 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: I make a mistake or they make a mistake, let's 298 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: not make it the next time when we have an 299 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: opportunity to to nail it.
