1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Is Pittsburgh still fundamentally running the same defense and the

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: concepts that they have in the past, And if so,

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: how does that help you in terms of, I guess

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: getting a jump start on your preparation for them. Yeah,

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: there's uh, you know, there's plenty of carryover, um from

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: what we've competed against in the past. Um. You know,

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: they they've got, you know, a certain volume of things

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: that they you know'd say are core things to them

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: that they they do each year, and they have you know,

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: they have plenty of changeups that you know, depending on

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: the game, the opponent, you know, or how they feel

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: like they need to defend you, um, that they can

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: kind of unveil and use at their disposal each week. Also, so, um,

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: this is a very you know, we've played them a lot,

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: but it's always a difficult preparation one because they have

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: good players too. They're very well coached, and their style

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: of play, I mean, they play with great effort and physicality.

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: They there's nothing easy. They don't give up many big plays,

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: and then they create a lot of disruptive plays with

20
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: what they do. And then to top it all off,

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, there's the element of the unknown, which in

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: every game you play against them, there's going to be

23
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: some element of adjusting that needs to take place because

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: they're going to change something, you know, that you prepared for,

25
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: and they're gonna make an adjustment that they think is important,

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, to make that week, and then you're gonna

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: have to switch something up or adjust in the game

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: as well. So really, really, really tough opponent. A tremendous

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: amount of respect for coach Tomlin and coach Butler and

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: this whole defensive group. We've played against them a lot,

31
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: and they're obviously very playing very well right now. You know,

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: lead a league in sacks, create a lot of negative plays,

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: don't give up many yards, stop the run, good on

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: third down. I mean, this is this is uh, this

35
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: is a big challenge and this is a tough place

36
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: to play. My next question Michael Fagga, followed by Tom Curry.

37
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Thanks Stacy, morning, josh Um. Wanted to ask you about

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: ball security and you guys, especially Tom, has been exceptional

39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: and taking care of the ball. I think it's twenty

40
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: three touchdowns one interception. Yeah, since two thousand and six

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, I think seven wins over eight games.

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Why is ball security such a big deal. It always is.

43
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: But why are you guys so good at it against

44
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: the Steelers? Well, I think you know, it's one of,

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: if not the most important statistic in most NFL games,

46
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: is being able to take care of the ball and

47
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: protect the possession of it when you have it. You know,

48
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: Tom deserves the credit for you know what he does.

49
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: You know on the field, and and you know, we

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: we certainly try to drill ball security drills and those

51
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: types of things, but ultimately a lot of times for

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback, ball security comes down not only to fundamentals,

53
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: but decision making, you know. And so when you're under duress,

54
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: you have a split second to make a choice, and

55
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, you could you could choose to try to

56
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: do something heroic, or you could choose to try to

57
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: make a smart decision. And you know, take your medicine

58
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: on that play and understand that you're not gonna you know,

59
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: every play is not going to be a fifty yard touchdown.

60
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: And you know, if they have really good players and

61
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: a good scheme, and sometimes they're gonna get you. And

62
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: so sometimes I think accepting that is not only um

63
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: a big part of taking care of the ball, But

64
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: then making that critical decision under pressure is really important.

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't know the numbers, you know, the last so

66
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: many times we've played Pittsburgh, but I know I know

67
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: they've created pressure on our on our quarterback. I know

68
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: they've sacked us, and each one of those plays, there's

69
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: obviously the element of ball security to finish the play,

70
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: to make sure that we still have the ball, and

71
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: you know, Tom has historically done a great job of

72
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: taking care of it, and we're going to need to

73
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: do a really good job this week because when they

74
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: create turnovers put their offense on a short field, obviously,

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: that's that's not a good thing for us. Great, thanks, Josh.

76
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Next question is Tom Kern, followed by Mike Reece. Hey, Josh, um,

77
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: just looking at the performance of Gronk this past week,

78
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: outstanding with every target he pulled in, but also to

79
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: the punishment that he incurs during those plays just not

80
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: even on how do you avoid that because it's just

81
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: part and parcel of the position, But do you marvel

82
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: at the number of hits that that he has to

83
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: take to keep taking in this in this league? It's

84
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: a uh, well, there's no question that he's an extremely

85
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: tough guy. Um, I think we have a lot of

86
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: those guys on our team, and and Gronks certainly one

87
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: of um, you know, one of the tougher ones you

88
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: know in the league at that position. You know, and

89
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: I think because of his size and you know, um,

90
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: you know where he usually catches the football, which is

91
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: in between the numbers. Um, you know, there's you know,

92
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bodies that you know eventually come

93
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: downhill towards him and have an opportunity to make a

94
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: decision how they want to try to tackle him. Um.

95
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: Most of those people usually go low. Um. You know,

96
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: there's you know, they could choose to do some other thing,

97
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: but a lot of times they go low, um because

98
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: of you know how big he is, and you know,

99
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: the the concept of trying to tackle him high you

100
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: know generally isn't high on everybody's you know, wish list.

101
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: So um, there's no question that look playing his position,

102
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, at his size and understanding what happens in

103
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: our league now you know, with the emphasis on not

104
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: hitting people on the head and all the rest of

105
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: it is, you know, it requires a tremendous amount of courage, um,

106
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, to go in there and continue to to

107
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, run pass routes inside. Um, you know, you

108
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: know you're going to eventually incurse some punishment, some hits,

109
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: and thankfully most of those are not to the head

110
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: and neck area anymore, you know, And that's a good thing.

111
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: But you know, there's no there's no doubt that toughness

112
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: and courage is a huge element of playing inside in

113
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: our league and in the passing game and having success

114
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: and being able to stay focused on the football, finish

115
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: the play properly, understanding in the back of your mind

116
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: you know you're going to take a hit. So um,

117
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: I would say Julian Is is right up there also,

118
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean they both do a lot of stuff inside

119
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: and and they and they have a great understanding of

120
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: how that works and and need of one of them

121
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: plays the game with fear so tremendous amount of respect

122
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: and appreciation for all of the things that they do

123
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: inside and the toughness that they display weekend and week out.

124
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Thank you, yep. Next question, Mike Grief and I would

125
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: encourage anyone hit five star if you have any other

126
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: cons for Josh right, Thanks Jacy, Josh, How are you today, good? Mike?

127
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: How are you doing doing well, I actually was thinking

128
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: along two lines. The first with toughness was James Devlin

129
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: and just sort of one of the interesting things is

130
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: I think coming into this season he had one rushing

131
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: touchdown in his career, and I think he had four

132
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: this season, three in the last two weeks. And it

133
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: just got me thinking about what makes you call like

134
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: a fullback dive, Like, how has this sort of suddenly

135
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: become you know, a big part of what you guys

136
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: have done the last couple of weeks. Yeah, Um, well, James,

137
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, James will do anything we ask him to do. Um.

138
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: He'll he'll block, he'll pass protech, he'll carry the football

139
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: if we ask him to, he'll catch it, um and

140
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: do his part. He'll you know, help chip defensive ends

141
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: or you know, pass rushers if that's what we ask

142
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: him to do. Um. He serves a lot of roles

143
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: for us. And um, you know, Dante um And and

144
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Cole and Ivan, I mean they you know, do a

145
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: tremendous job of evaluating those goal line and short yarded situations.

146
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: Dante's done this for so many years and been tremendous

147
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: at it. And you know, and and depending on the

148
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: front or you know, the matchups or what have you.

149
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: You know, you you have to try to keep things

150
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: moving a little bit on the defense, but also try

151
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: to find a sweet spot that you want to try

152
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: to run into each week. Um, and it's just so

153
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: happens that you know, we have that play in our offense,

154
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, and James is a productive runner when he's

155
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: had his opportunities to do that, and you know, and

156
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: he's he's been uh, you know, he's been successful when

157
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: we handed it to him this year. So again, not

158
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: something that you do every single week, not something that

159
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: is you know, necessarily something that you're going to repeat

160
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. But depending on you know,

161
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: what the defense may be given you or where you

162
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: think your best opportunities are, you try to make your

163
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: best decisions in those situations and get the ball in

164
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: the end zone. And Josh, you know, this week with

165
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers, I would think you guys are going to

166
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: go back and at least refer to last year's game.

167
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure we will in the media look back at

168
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: how just back and forth that ending was last year.

169
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: From your perspective, what can you take from the way

170
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: that game sort of went back and forth? Phrenetically, you know,

171
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: with the Jesse James catch, no catch back and forth

172
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: it goes that you can carry into this week a

173
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: sort of a lesson from that game. Yeah, Um, I

174
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: think every time you play Pittsburgh, UM one, you know,

175
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: they're they're well coached. You know, they're really tough, physical team. Um,

176
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: they're very similar to us in many regards in terms

177
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: of the way we play. I mean, their style and

178
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: scheme may be different, but um, the players and the

179
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: way they're coached. UM, they're kind of a you know,

180
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: they're a blue collar team that you know prides himself

181
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: on being physical and tough. And you know, on defense

182
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: they try to stop the run and get after the

183
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: quarterback and um and and they're mentally tough. You know,

184
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: that game had a lot of ebbs and flows in it,

185
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: back and forth. Um. And so no matter what happens

186
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: early in the game this week, UM, it won't make

187
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: any difference. It's gonna be a sixty minute battle, you know,

188
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: and UM, I would expect them to. You know, it's

189
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: kind of a punch CounterPunch thing. And you know, you

190
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: you just try to have a great week of preparation

191
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: and prepare your guys as best you can to go

192
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: out there and play against a really good team and

193
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: in a crazy environment. It's one of the best places

194
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: to play in the league on the road, and um,

195
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, you you you go in there expecting that

196
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: it's going to be tough, and you're gonna have to

197
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: have mental toughness and physical toughness in order to hang

198
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: in there and play all four quarters the way you

199
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: need to. So last year was no different, Um, you know,

200
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: and they're they're having a really good year again on defense,

201
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: and we understand what the challenge is going to be,

202
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna need a great week of preparation and

203
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: understand that, you know, everything ain't gonna be perfect on Sunday,

204
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: but we're gonna have to hang in there and keep battling.

205
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: And our guys did that last year and we're gonna

206
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: need to do it again this year. The final question

207
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: will be Henry McKenna, great, Henry, Hey, Josh, how are

208
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: you good? Henry? How are you doing good? Thank you.

209
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: I was curious about the sort of copycat nature of

210
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: the league, and I know you've been designing plays for

211
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: a long time, so I imagine that not only has

212
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,479
Speaker 1: it you're stole in your play ideas, but also ultimately

213
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: use those plays against the Patriots. So if that's happened

214
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: to you, what's that like for you as a as

215
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: a play designer to kind of see your your creation

216
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: ultimately sort of come come against your bite you a

217
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: little bit. That's tough to answer. Um. The reason I

218
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: say that is because usually I don't see much of

219
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: what the other team does against us, so I don't

220
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: really know generally if that is or isn't happening. I

221
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: would just say the same thing I've said in the past.

222
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of really good coaches and

223
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, unique designs, and people are

224
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: always creating new things to try to give themselves an

225
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: advantage each week. And you know, we're all football coaches.

226
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: We all see, you know, different games. When we're looking

227
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: at tape of an opponent like Pittsburgh this week, you know,

228
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: you may see somebody else's fancy is something that is

229
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: of interest to you. But ultimately, I think the most

230
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: important thing when you when you're looking at somebody else's

231
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: scheme is trying to make decisions on what works for

232
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: your team. You know, because none of us have the

233
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: same players. So you know, if our guys can do

234
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: something well that somebody else might have done and it

235
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: fits who we are and in our personality and the

236
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses of our players, and great And I'm

237
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: sure that other coaches and teams you know, you know,

238
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: do it very similar to similarly to that is trying

239
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: to make decisions about what they feel like fits them. So,

240
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: like I said, we've copied as many things from other

241
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: people as other people have copied from ups, I'm sure.

242
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: And it's all football, you know, you have to The

243
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: most important thing is you have to you know, you

244
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: have to play with good fundamentals. You have to block,

245
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: you have to run, you have to throw and catch,

246
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: you have to play couplitz is, and those things are

247
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: really the most important, you know, and ingredient to our

248
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: success each week. It's not a play call or a

249
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: scheme or some design. It's just our guys going out

250
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: there and playing good, solid football. And when we win,

251
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: it's because they do a lot of really good things

252
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: on the field.
