And that's always a it's always a positive 91 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: when when you know you've worked with coaches who again 92 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: who have had success around the league or with you, 93 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 2: you know, with you as a coordinator. 94 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 4: I mean, success in this league is still about players. 95 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 4: But how much do you feel like the cohesiveness and 96 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 4: the history that Ryan has, I mean one of them 97 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 4: one of his staff guys the guy played for him 98 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 4: twenty years ago, others are coaches that he's worked with. 99 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 4: How how much do you feel that that component, call. 100 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: It a bond, call it chemistry, whatever you want, can 101 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: help facilitate the process of winning. 102 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: I think I think it just comes down to the trust, right, 103 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: and we have to trust each other. Is a staff, 104 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: we have to trust our player and and players have 105 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: to trust coaches, and and they have to know they 106 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: being the players have to know that the coaches have 107 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: their best interests right and and and they. 108 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 3: Have their backs.

I think to 188 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: two is a good number. But you know, you got 189 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: to have two teams or at least another team that's 190 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: willing to do I never reached out to coach Read 191 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: to do that. 192 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 4: In phase three. 193 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 5: If there's a particular goal that you can done, see 194 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 5: that you get. 195 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Training and. 196 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: No injuries, stay healthy. 197 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 2: You know, Phase three is more competitive than the other 198 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 2: three phases obviously, and you're doing more offense versus defense stuff, 199 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: and and you're just trying to limit you know, the contact, 200 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: and you're still teaching, right and you're still developing and 201 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: growing your football team.
