1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Bill. When you look at the Rams defensive line,

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: specifically from a past rush perspective, what stands out to

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: you about the challenge of blocking them? Uh? Yeah, really good.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Uh had great inside power and quickness. Man, that great

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: is rush. Um got a lot of a lot of

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: good players, a lot of guys that are hurt of

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot. So yeah, they're good. Do a really good job.

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Wait always though, excellent coach and does does a great

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: job with all those guys. They're they have a variety

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: of players and then they're all they're all problems. It's

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: curious what what stands out to you specifically about Aaron

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Donald and his style of play? Everything pretty much unbearable.

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: How rare has it been to um? I don't know

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: how much you've watched at this point, but to turn

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: on the tape and to see him single blocked, I mean,

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: is he pretty much double blocked almost every play that

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: you've seen. Well, I mean you got to block the

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: other guys and just kind of guys just run free

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: into the backfield. So any times when you get single block,

20
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: next question you, Mike patag You thank you, Stacy. After

21
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: then Bill, third down conversion the other day was a

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: huge part of the victory. And I'm just curious to

23
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: get your opinion on what you saw in film that

24
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: maybe you guys so effective in that situation. It really

25
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: just came down to some some great execution. We had

26
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: some long yarded situations that we converted, Um miss some

27
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: short yarded situations. So but overall, the ones that we

28
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: need to make at the end for Kelly we made

29
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: with good protection and offensive minded. A good job Tom

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: through the ball. Well, we made some tough catches, but

31
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: just team execution. It's not not anyone got we need everybody,

32
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: everybody doing it. And if I can follow up, Bill,

33
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: is there a message here that going into a game

34
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: against the defense like the rams um that you will

35
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: obviously want to stay away from the third and lungs,

36
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: even though you were very successful on that in the overtime. Right, Well,

37
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: we always want to stay away from third and long.

38
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Never a situation that we want to be in, but

39
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: to be prepared for it. It's obviously going to come

40
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: up at some point, and but we're not We're not

41
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: We're not trying to be in that position. Thank you, Bill,

42
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: You're welcome. The next question is Rich Garden. Bill I'm

43
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: just wondering what you're seeing. Um, obviously there's a there's

44
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: a lot of returning continuity on the upfensive line. But

45
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: but do you seem from that unit that allow them

46
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: to uh evolve into renewed chemistry from the group as

47
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: a whole. There's a lot of unselfish, hard working guys

48
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: in that group, and thank you do that every week

49
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: when they when they compete old their ability to adapt

50
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: it guess week to week. Um, guess They're fundamentals are

51
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: the same, but they're like every other position that probably

52
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: has to do a little something differently. Yeah, absolutely, every

53
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: week different. Every week's a new challenge with different players

54
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: and different schemes. So but that's the way it is

55
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Every every team's got good players,

56
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: good coaches, work hard and try and make it hard

57
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: on it. It's very competitive. So those guys have their

58
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: handsful every week. Um, but they come to work every

59
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: day and and continue to work work hard to get better.

60
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: And they've done that over the course of the year,

61
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: both individually and collectively at the unit. And just one

62
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: one last thing with regard to that the offensive line

63
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: group there they you know, across the board. They seem

64
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: like you're a pretty pretty smart group, uh, you know,

65
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: at least academically from school and whatnot. And I'm just

66
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: curious there. They're also quiet for the most part, and um,

67
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: how did how did they go about some insight into

68
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: how they go about maybe offering uh je jans or

69
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: ideas um or do they just kind of take the

70
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: coach and Scar gives them and that's what it is. Well,

71
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 1: of course, all the players try to execute the players

72
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: the way that they've been presented, um, But there's always

73
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: an element of adjusting or having to modify your technique

74
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: or the way you're doing it based on a certain

75
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: look or a way the player plays to play and

76
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: how it unfolds after the snap. We have a pretty

77
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: experienced group there, um, So certainly the input that we

78
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: get from them on I mean, look, they want to

79
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: block the guy, we want to block the guy. If

80
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: they feel like they can do something a certain way

81
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: and might be a little different than the way we've

82
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: talked about, we'll take that into consideration. And you know,

83
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: a lot of times go with what they think because

84
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: they look they want the same thing as we do.

85
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: As long as it's sound, it fits with everything else,

86
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: but we're doing great. Thank you. Thanks question you'll be

87
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: Buyer and Barnett thank that me and Bill, thanks for

88
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: taking the call. Um, could you could you give me

89
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 1: your reaction to the reports of the laser pointing pointer

90
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: shining into Tom Brady's face during Sunday's game. Yeah, right now,

91
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: we're really focused on getting ready for the Rams. So

92
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm working on. Did it effect any

93
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: of the plays at all? Working on Rams? Okay? All right, Um,

94
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: you're you're the sex oldest coach in the in the league.

95
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: You're going up against the the youngest coach in the league.

96
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: A lot of folks I seem to think you're going

97
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: to have an advantage of What are your thoughts about

98
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: facing this Um, this new coach. I have a ton

99
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: of respect for Sean Um. Think he's done a great

100
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: job and in the two years he's done with the Rams,

101
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: the teams to perform on extremely high level. They're very consistent,

102
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: They're well coached. He has a great scheme, the players

103
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: executed it on a consistent basis at a very high level.

104
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: He's got a great coaching staff. Offense, defense, special teams.

105
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: They're good in every area coach, fossil coach Phillips, great

106
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: staff coach Fish. I know it is also an important

107
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: part of that staff. So coaching, the playing, the consistency coaching.

108
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Fay's done done a tremendous job out there. It's got

109
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: a got a great team and it would be very

110
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: hard to very hard to beat um. But we're gonna

111
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: compete against them and do the best that week can

112
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: to be ready to go a week from Sunday. But

113
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: they I think he's done an outstanding job and a

114
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: ton of respect for the way his team's play and

115
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: how well they play and what he's accomplished out there

116
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: and in his entire career, but as a head coach

117
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: in the last two years. Finally, last question, m your

118
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: first number both back to two thousand and two win

119
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: came against the Saint Louis Lambs, and here here you

120
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: are again early twenty years later facing the Los Angeles Lambs.

121
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: Does that have any symbolic significance or meeting to deal

122
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, I'm not really worried about what happened

123
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: five ten, twenty years ago, trying to get ready for

124
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: this team. I'll think a lot of relevance in any

125
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: of those games. Okay, thank you, good luck. Our next

126
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: question is Ben Voleen, called by Kyle Higher. All right, Bill,

127
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: want to ask you a couple of questions about Sean

128
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: McVay and the offense he runs. I know he cut

129
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: his teeth in the NFL with Mike and Kyle Shanahan

130
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: Jake Ruden. Is the offense they run in LA similar

131
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: to those styles of offense that you kind of learned under. Yeah,

132
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: probably a good question to ask Sean. Um not to

133
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: exactly sure what all influences are and so forth. I mean,

134
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: I know so that I don't, you know, I think

135
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: that's really a better question for him than me. I

136
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: know what they do, and they do it very well.

137
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: They do a lot of things. Um, they're very difficult

138
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: offensive stop you know, how much as the life some

139
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: other offense or not. I mean, I don't know. Um,

140
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: they they use the similar personnel and most of their

141
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: plays they don't do a ton of stubb shooting. So

142
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: what makes them so effective even though they're not switching

143
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: things up too much? Oh, they switch things up a lot.

144
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: They just do it with the same players. That's that's

145
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: that's what makes them so good. Is that everybody can

146
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: do everything. Play action seems to be a big part

147
00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: of their offense as well. They're very good at that. Again,

148
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: are good at everything. I got a run on the ball,

149
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: they've got a play actions, they're good at screens, they're

150
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: good on the d ball, they're good on the catching

151
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: run plays, and they're they're good at everything. When you

152
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: went to Washington for the joint practice in twenty fourteen,

153
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: did you meet Sean McBay at all? Then? Did you

154
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: spending time with him? Uh? No, Yeah, we didn't spend

155
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: him most time together. No. Um, but then you executed

156
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: the trade for Brandon Cooks. So have you come to

157
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: know him a little bit since he's the coming head coach? Yeah,

158
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: I know any any Well, you said it before, but uh,

159
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: all of your aunts are before then. I was gonna

160
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: ask you know your thoughts on Sean McBay, but you

161
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: said it well before. We'll go to Kyle High Tower.

162
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: Follow good afternoon, Bill. According to the number. According to

163
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: the number, there's a Super Bowl teams usually turn over

164
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: about a third or their roster the next season. Haven't

165
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: had to make those decisions. I'm curious if you think

166
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: it's just the nature of the business Dowery cap that

167
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: you must say goodbye to good players. There were parts

168
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: of good teams, all right, women. So what does this

169
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: have to do with the game now, No, You've just

170
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: you've just been in a situation where you've had to

171
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: turn over your roster from a super Bowl team the

172
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: following season. I'm just curious if you how tough it

173
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: is to make those decisions. You know, you've just done

174
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: that year before. I mean, look, there's a lot of

175
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: turnover in the National Football League on every dam, on

176
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: every team and every year. So it's the National Football League.

177
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: Teams turn over a lot of players and a lot

178
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: of coaches every single year, on every single team. Thank you.

179
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: And it looks like the last question two more questions

180
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: nor princiality, Thanks Stacy, hi Bel. I'm just wondering, particularly

181
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: in a loud environment where you would have to go

182
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: to a stiling count, but in general too, it's important

183
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: to have a center whose snaps are very consistent and

184
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, just every time he does it, Tom knows

185
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: what to expect. And is that something that David is

186
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: particularly good at. Um? Yes, they answered all those questions.

187
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Is yes, Um, the communication between the center and the

188
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: quarterback is um critical. The confidence that the quarterback has

189
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: in the center and the exchange and the cadence and

190
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: everything is it's a huge advantage in terms of the

191
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: execution of the play. You can't take it for granted.

192
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: But when you're thinking about that, then you're not thinking

193
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: about other things that are permanent to the play, and

194
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: it's just such a behind in the play and it

195
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: leads to more problems. It's just kind of snowballs into

196
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: making everything a little bit more difficult. So David's very

197
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: good at not only that with the quarterback, but also

198
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: because he's in the center of the line and can

199
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: communicate with both sides of the line. He sets the

200
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: table in terms of line calls and how the how

201
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: the other four linemen five in total are blocking different

202
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: fronts and different looks. And then of course after the

203
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: ball snap that can all change in a hurry. And

204
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: again when you're in the middle of it, you you

205
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: know you're involved in almost everything. So communication with the quarterback,

206
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: communication with the teammates, execution of blocking patterns, run or

207
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: pass before and after the snap at all that really

208
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: falls onto the center's falls into his job description and

209
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: the ability to handle those situations very quickly, very decisively,

210
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: and still handle the ball cleanly, because as we know,

211
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: there's nothing more important than possession of the football. And

212
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: so to do all those things right and then to

213
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: have a bad snap and to have, you know, turnovers

214
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: because of the quarterback center exchange is undoes. You know,

215
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: a million good things, they are undone with one one

216
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: mistake on the ball handling. So it's yeah, it's a

217
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: critical position and it's a critical critical to the functionality

218
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: of the entire unit. Is that something you saw from

219
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: David at Georgia just at his cadence and just the

220
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: physical way that he releases the bald he snapps it

221
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: is very consistent. Yeah, David is a good center, play

222
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: center in his whole life. So it played center junior

223
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: high plate center in high school, with play center in college,

224
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: and he's playing center here and I would say he's

225
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: very comfortable and with all the things that come with

226
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: that position. UM. I can't imagine there's anything that he

227
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: sees at this point in his career that he hasn't

228
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: already seen UM multiple times, if not hundreds of times,

229
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: UM in one way or another. And he's so he's

230
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: very experienced and he's very a depth at handling variations

231
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: of all the things that I just mentioned. So he's

232
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: a lifetime he's a career center, and he plays like it.

233
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: Got yea, thank you, You're welcome. Last question would be

234
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: Tom Curran on the second way. I just how you

235
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: doing mill Um? Just question nine. Maybe the character or

236
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: the makeup of the players that you have is their

237
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: ability to be organized, mature, and compartmentalized. Things had been

238
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: pageous when the states get higher and you playing a game,

239
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: of playing a game of this import just because of

240
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: so many distractions that fly around and the way the

241
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: game has changed from not just a football game in

242
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: terms of the way it's covered, etc. I'm not sure

243
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: if I'm really following the old questions, Tom, Sorry, sure, Well,

244
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: driving more briefly, is maturity and the ability to not

245
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: get distracted by the hooplah a strength that you have

246
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: seen featured in your players. Well, every player is different,

247
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: every team is different. And as one of the questions

248
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: was earlier asked about the makeup of the teams, there

249
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: they're new. There's there are new players and usually new coaches,

250
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: I would say, but certainly new players on every single

251
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: team in the league every year. So the chemistry and

252
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: the interaction and communication between all the people players, coaches

253
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: and other support people involved is different from year to year,

254
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: and that has to be foundation has to be late

255
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: and it has to be accomplished every year every season.

256
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, maturity and decision making and and accountability and

257
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: dependability on all of course, all those things are important,

258
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: but they all have to be I would say, they've

259
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: all have to be done every year, hundreds and hundreds

260
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: of times, over and over again. It doesn't matter whether

261
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: you've done them before, whether you've never done them before.

262
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: It really, I mean, it really doesn't matter, because you

263
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: have to if you've done it before, you have to

264
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: do it again. And if you haven't done it before,

265
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: you have to prove that you can do it. And

266
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: then you have to repeatedly, you know, do it consistently

267
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: and repeatedly over the same period of time. So like

268
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: we're all five faced with that challenge every day and

269
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: every week, and certainly in this game, it'll it'll be

270
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: a big challenge because the Rams are and there. They

271
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: are a tough, discipline, hard notes football team and it'll

272
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: take it'll take our best to compete with them. Okay,

273
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: thank you, Thanks coach, thank you,
