That's probably 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: the main thing right that you're asking, Yeah, he will 19 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 3: be playing Thursday night. 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sure it's always unique game plan employed 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 5: division opponents, but when you're doing it on the short 22 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 5: week like this second time you're playing them this year, 23 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 5: is does it feel any different when you're preparing for 24 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 5: this type of game. 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 3: It definitely feels different on a short week for any opponent. 26 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 3: I like the fact that you know, you play a 27 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 3: team that you have a little more familiarity with, But 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: that's a two edge sword too, because they have they 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 3: have a lot of familiarity with us. So every every 30 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: game is different, you know, every game is unique. Is 31 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: kind of take it as it comes, attack the circumstances 32 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: as they present themselves, and that's what we'll try to 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: do and do our best. 34 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, John Lamar. 35 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 4: Talk about wanting to score a lot of points. I mean, 36 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 4: that's the goal obviously all the time. And the same 37 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 4: could be said for your offense. But when you do 38 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 4: face a team like Cincinnati, do you feel offensively for 39 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 4: yourself you need to be more aggressive when you can 40 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 4: get into and he's kind of shootout situation. 41 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 6: You know. 42 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: I think a lot of that has to do with 43 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: how the game's going once we get into the game. 44 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: We'll we'll we look at it certain ways going into 45 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: the game right now, but we'll see how the game's going. 46 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: You never know how it's going to play out, you know. 47 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: So I'm I'm excited for all three phases of our 48 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: of our team to play play their best, play their hardest, 49 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: and uh and just see where it goes as the 50 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: game goes on. 51 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 7: John, I know your internal conversations are the most important. 52 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 7: But Marlin was all about yesterday that it feels that 53 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 7: Zach taking some heat for player mistakes. You know, what 54 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 7: is the mean to see Holy Gardner team talk like 55 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 7: that and take some accountability And do you feel like 56 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 7: things are going the right way based off last week 57 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 7: to fix the second area? 58 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a process through the whole season 59 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: to get better at everything. You know, there seems to 60 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 3: be an expectation that you're going to be perfect at everything, 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 3: every every aspect of your game, from the first game 62 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: to the last game to the end, and that seems 63 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: to be the requirement, you know, and it's just not reality. 64 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: It's not reality in anything. We have a growth mindset. 65 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: We don't have a fixed mindset. We understand that we 66 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: can't get better, you know, we and we work hard 67 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 3: to get better every single day and every single thing 68 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 3: we do. And I know Marlin speaking to that. Our 69 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 3: guys are great about that, coaches are great about that. 70 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: So you face challenges, you face circumstances, and you meet 71 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 3: them as you find them. You meet them where they're at, 72 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: where you meet your circumstances where they're at. 73 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: That's what I was looking for. 74 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 3: Meet your circumstances where they're at. I think that's pretty good, 75 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: you know. So that's what you continue to do and 76 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: you continue to try to grow, whether it's football or 77 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 3: life or whatever. So that's what we're trying to do 78 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: as a team, and I'm very confident our guys doing that. 79 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 8: Speaking of leaders or kwand Smith is a guy and 80 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 8: you know, probably one of the biggest leaders in the team, 81 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 8: as you talked about, and you know, a guy that 82 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 8: must not perform his very high standard is the first 83 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 8: one to say that.

I mean, it was one 226 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 6: of the dog days of training camp, Siss. We were 227 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 6: about to go out, and I'm just like kind of 228 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 6: lolling around a little bit, like, man, dude, it was 229 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 6: hot outside.

So I think that was 233 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 6: the biggest time right there. That just kind of explains everything. 234 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 6: Also another time was the guy you got you carrying 235 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 6: the ball for you now, Derick Henry. You know, when 236 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 6: you know, I've always pride myself on stopping the run. 237 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 6: I've always prided myself on making sure you don't get 238 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 6: those fourth and shorts and all that stuff like that, 239 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 6: and seeing him carry the ball with the forest now 240 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 6: is amazing. But the one time when I, you know, 241 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 6: got after him in the backfield, that was a great 242 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 6: moment because I've always prided myself on taking down the 243 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 6: best running backs. He's one the best. 244 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: Did you get in a golf card and crash into 245 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: the tackling gum one one last time? 246 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 8: For no? 247 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 6: But if it's out here, though, I'm gonna get it done. 248 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 6: So you gotta see the shot. 249 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 2: He can give me the keys. 250 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: So much of your life an identity does get wrapped 251 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 4: up into football. Just what has this transition been like 252 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: of putting that behind you and and what is next 253 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 4: for you?
