22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 3: focused on Sunday obviously, but what's kind of the final

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: What is the message about getting through that?

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: And really the messages, The message is one day at

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: a time and one game at a time, one play

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: at a time, one series at a time. That is

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: the final message, you know. That is the process, is

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: the message. We've mapped it all out, like we talked

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: about earlier in the week. We have a plan as

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: far as all the different practices and reps and loading

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: and all that to be ready to be at our

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: best physically in all three games. But that's up to

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: us as coaches, the players and really the coaches in

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: terms of the scheming and the teaching. Is we have

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: our biggest challenge Sunday, and we've got to be at

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: our best on Sunday and then tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll worry

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: about itself.

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: John, it looks like ben Noy's on track to play

39
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: his practice fully all week.

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 4: In a general sense, how important has he been for

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: that group.

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: With his experience, his performance and also knowing the rest

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: of those that dressers aren't pretty young.

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: Well, I just think it's always good to have Kyle

45
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: out there. You know, he's healthy. Uh, he's played a

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: lot of plays, a lot a lot of a lot

47
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: of plays all year, played very well. Uh, definitely the

48
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: week that off and then the bye, I think has

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: really probably helped him in terms of being being fully

50
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: raided a role. So he's ready to go.

51

67
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: cool thing. I read. I texted him. I haven't heard

69
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: bit busy. And uh, and I just just and I

70
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: know Bubba Cunningham, you know the A D there from

71
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: way back. He's he's a great, great athletic director, great

72
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: great person. But h I saw where it was something

73
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: he's always said he's always dreamed of, you know, which

74
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: is really something to read that. It's like, I mean,

75
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: he's won how many Super Bowls? You know, he's got

76
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 2: all those rings. Arguably the greatest NFL coach in the

77
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: history of the game and certainly the most successful. And

78
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: to say, you know, I always dream of this, You

79
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: know that that that speaks and that says something that's

80
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: something he's always thought about wanting to do. Now he

81
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: gets a chance to do it, He'll be amazing. He'll

82
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: do a great job. He'll have great players. One thing

83
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: about coach Belichick, Uh, he's gonna have a bunch of

84
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: guys that like football. He's gonna have a bunch of

85
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: guys that that that that want to be great, that

86
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: want to work hard, that think about football, think about

87
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: football going home, think about football coming into coming into work.

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: They're gonna think about classes a little bit now too

89
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: proudly you know, I'd be part of it. But uh uh,

90
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: if you if you're interested in football and you want

91
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: to be great, and what you do, you know North

92
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: Carolina's going to be a destination for those guys.

93
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 5: Have you ever thought about what it would be like

94
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 5: to go back to college after being in the NFL

95
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 5: for a very long time, and obviously your brother has

96
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 5: kind of gone back and forth. I mean, what how

97
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 5: big a difference would it be.

98
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: I don't think it's too big a difference. I mean,

99
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: coaches coach, you know, coach at any level. He coach

100
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: a high school and there's great coaches at every level.

101
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: There are coaches in high school football that could coach

102
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL like that. There are coaches in the

103
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: NFL that can coach it, you know, high school. So

104
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: I think coaching is coaching pretty much. It's different challenges,

105
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: for sure, and there's different you know, schemes and everything

106
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: are different. But the ability to kind of connect with guys,

107
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: to put the players first, their best interests at heart,

108
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: put together a team, build a team, all those things

109
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: are the same, all right, So coach, all right? With

110
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: that in mind, what did I segue? Child? That's good?

111
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: All right? So so twenty eight years, twenty eight years,

112
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,680

00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 6: It's been fantastic. And thank you to Arundel. We've been

128
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: waiting forty nine years and we did it, so thank

129
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 6: you guys.

130
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: Great questions. Come on, It was a quite tough question

131
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: after you've been there before, but you haven't quite gotten there.

132
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's something we've been chipping away at for years

133
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 6: and it's just been out of our grasp, out of

134
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 6: our grasp. It was a very surreal aside from my

135
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 6: daughter being born and I have to say get married

136
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 6: to my wife holding that trophy up in front of

137
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 6: the home crowd was just second to none. So it

138
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 6: was a great feeling.

139
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: He think he could just take over.

140
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: His job, and he could.

141
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 6: He could definitely do my job. My line is his

142
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 6: His problems aren't my problems. I don't think I could

143
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 6: handle the stress of his job. So I'm perfectly happy

144
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 6: and content where I am. And we're good coaching on

145
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,680
