1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Two part question. First of all, again you've been through 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: the process of interviewing and the opportunity to interview with 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: other teams, having been through it so many times, and 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: then getting ready for a playoff game, Um, how much 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: of a comfort level is there since you've been through 6 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: it so much. And then if you could just speak 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: to the Chargers front four and what kind of challenges 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: they present. Yeah, well, the you know, the the there's 9 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: a process obviously in place, and everybody has to go 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: through that at this time of the year. And I think, 11 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: you know, we're all professionals and have to manage our 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: time appropriately all year long. Um, you know, in multitask 13 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: and if you're going to go through one of those 14 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: situations and you're fortunate to have an opportunity to do so, um, 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: you know you you you know, you do the best 16 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: you can with that while spending you know, your time 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: really on where it needs to be, which is you know, 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: the current season and the team that you're on and 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: the opponent you're getting ready to play. So, um, you know, 20 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: that's that's all I've always approached it, and um, you know, 21 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: other people might do it differently. Um. The Chargers defense 22 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: in general, is this is the best group we've played 23 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: all year. Um. Their defensive front um is extremely disruptive. 24 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: They play a you know, one gap style of defense. 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: That's how you know what coach Bradley is always um, 26 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: you know done, and they're really really good at what 27 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: they do. UM create a lot of issues for you 28 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: with their penetration. UM. You know, they're disruptive in the 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: running game and create negative plays which put you in 30 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: a second and third and long, which they excel at 31 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: um and then they can create you know, a ton 32 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: of problems then with their pass rush. So the way 33 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: that they play on early downs lended itself to you know, 34 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: them being able to turn it loose and really get 35 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: after the quarterback in passing situations when they know you 36 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: have to throw. And you know, it's a it's a 37 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: group that's got a lot of people that have created 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: impact plays for him, you know this year. I mean 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: across the board inside and outside. Everybody knows about Bosa 40 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: and Ingram, but Nuos who has done it, Fiveline's done 41 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: its Square has done it. Mebane has certainly done it. 42 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people Rochelle. So I mean 43 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that have created very disruptive 44 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: plays in the front, and they play as hard as 45 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: any group that we've played all year. So this is 46 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: a tremendous challenge. Our ability to try to limit some 47 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: of those negative situations and negative plays is is going 48 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: to go a long way in this game. So, UM, 49 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, we were excited to get an opportunity to 50 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: compete in this game. And you know, like I said, 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: it's the best team we played all year. Thanks Josh, 52 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: and especially Mike Giardi. Followed by great Josh, I'll be 53 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: real direct. Have you spoken to the Cleveland Browns at 54 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: all about their head coaching vacancy? No, sir, I have 55 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: had no contact with them. So and then as they 56 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: follow up on a football question about the game itself, 57 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: how have they've had injury issues a linebacker? How have 58 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: they managed to mask that and have such success essentially 59 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: with and sometimes four safeties a lot of times three. Um, 60 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, they're a deep group in terms of their 61 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: overall UM death on the defense. Um, you know, I 62 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: think that they've it done a great job of adapting, 63 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: which you know, credit their coaching staff, Coach Bradley and 64 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: their coaching staff for being able to adjust. Um. You know, 65 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: they were a little bit more of a nickel group 66 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Now they've really become much more 67 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: of a dime group with at least six defensive backs 68 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: in the game quite a bit. You know, Phillips playing 69 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: down there near the line of scrimmage, you know when 70 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: they go to that grouping, James is down there near 71 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: that line, you know, near the line of scrimmage. Both 72 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: those guys are two hundred and ten, two hundred and 73 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: fifteen pound guys that can run and hit, and there 74 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: their physical players, so they play similar styles to a linebacker. 75 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: And then they have a very good nickel backing king 76 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: that plays physical. Um, he'll tackle, he's disruptive in both 77 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: the run in the passing game. He can blitz. So 78 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: they have depth in the secondary that they have now 79 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: spilled over into that that second level of the defense 80 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: in the linebacking group by becoming more of a dime grouping. 81 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: So um, it's just you know, obviously very smart, you know, 82 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: in terms of trying to use your best players, you know, 83 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: as much as you can, and that's what they've decided 84 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: to do. As I said, you know, the fronts disruptive, 85 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: but you've got This is as deep a group and 86 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: as talented as a group as we've played all year. 87 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: All of them have made plays, whether that's near the 88 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage or in the secondary and coverage. So um, 89 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: you know, we we'll have a handsful, um, you know, 90 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: excited to get started on them. But this is as 91 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: a great challenge for us. Josh, thanks for answering both 92 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: post questions.

Thank you. 146 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: Our next questioned McKinnon, Josh just tind a question about 147 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: James White when you guys drafted him in twenty fourteen, 148 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: Is this the role as kind of that sub back 149 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: they're down back? Is that the role that you sort 150 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: of envisioned him feeling when he came onto the team. 151 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: James is a very productive player period at Wisconsin. Um. 152 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: You know, he ran the ball, you know, um a 153 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: large amount at Wisconsin in their offensive system and in 154 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: between the tackles and um, you know cold weather, Um 155 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: was durable. Um you know, did did some of the 156 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: tough things UM. You know as as a running back 157 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: that you need to do. UM, you know, in terms 158 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: of being unselfish in terms of blitz pick up and 159 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: physical and those types of things. So he had a 160 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: very productive career there and did a lot of good things. So, UM, 161 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you ever pigeonhole of guy 162 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: and say this is the only role he could fill. Certainly, 163 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: we saw a talented guy with great character and intelligence, 164 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: and you know we felt like, you know, you get 165 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: a guy like that in your system and you just 166 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: continue to try to work hard and develop him as 167 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: a football player. And you know, he's he's got a 168 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: lot of directions that he could have you know that 169 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: he could go in terms of his skill set. So, um, 170 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: and we're not done. You know, James is still a 171 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: young player and we're still continue to try to develop him. 172 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: He's still trying to work hard to improve in every 173 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: area of his game, which is which is what you 174 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: would expect if you know James White and um, and 175 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: so you know, Uh, it's just he does a lot 176 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: for a football team and uh, he certainly does a 177 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: lot for us offensively and uh there's a lot of 178 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: hats that he wears. And um, and again excited to 179 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to coach him this week in this game. 180 00:10:52,960 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: Next question, Henry McKenna, Hey, how want to Josh? Great, Henry, 181 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: how you doing well? Um, Well, you know, at this 182 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: time last season or last offseason, it was reported that 183 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: your role would increase in the organization, you'd get more responsibilities. So, UM, 184 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: I guess my first question would be, you know, if 185 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: if that's true, Um, how did you find those responsibilities 186 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: this year? And um, how do you think you've grown, 187 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: you know, in that increased role? Again sort of if 188 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: if I think I don't, I don't really think that 189 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: that's really um changed, Um, you know hopefully I can 190 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: improve you know, whatever it is that I'm responsible for. 191 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: But my role here has been the same, you know, 192 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: and that's a um, you the best job I can 193 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: A coordinate the offense and work with the offensive staff 194 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: and and Bill and um, you know, and doing whatever 195 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: they need us to do relative to uh coaching the 196 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: football team and trying to you know, improve our players 197 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: and develop our team that way, and then assist in 198 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: any other role that that they need us to assist 199 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: in during the course of the year. So um, really 200 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: that's the responsibilities are the same. But you always work 201 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: to try to get better as a coach in a 202 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: lot of different areas. We wear a lot of hats, teachers, um, 203 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, communication, scheme, evaluation. Uh, there's a lot of 204 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: different things we do. So UM, I think all of 205 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: us try to work hard to get better in some 206 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: area every year and hopefully I've made some progress in 207 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: something and uh, you know, like I said, excited to 208 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to continue competing this week and then Henry, 209 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: oh yeah you know what, Yeah, pass me off. Sorry, thanks, Joss, 210 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: no problem. We're going a little wong here, but I'm 211 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: gonna try to get two more questions in Evan Bizzar 212 00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: and Adam Kilworth getting limited to just one question ahead. Hey, Josh, 213 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you the Ravens, um, excuse me, 214 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: the chargers that they picked up on some of the 215 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: Ravens tendencies, just you know, the way that their offensive 216 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,239 Speaker 1: linemen we're setting their feet, things of that nature. I 217 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: was just curious how you guys trying to protect against 218 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: your tendencies and maybe um, you know, try to avoid 219 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: getting you know, having tells like that, UM, so that 220 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: the opposing team doesn't kind of pick up on those 221 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: types of things. Yeah, well, I mean that's that's always 222 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: something you have to be conscious of, UM, you know, 223 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: is whether or not you're you're creating a tendency that 224 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: somebody could pick up on, whether that be schematically or 225 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: something smaller than that, Um that maybe a specific position 226 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: group would notice, um, you know, defensive line group or 227 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: what have you. So, UM, we try to do the 228 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: best we can at identifying the things that we've put 229 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: on tape, and you know, being aware and alert for 230 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: anything that we've shown too much or that has become 231 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: a pattern. UM. And then you try to do what 232 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: you can to compliment that or break those tendencies if 233 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: you can throughout the course of the year. So I 234 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: think most importantly, you know, if you go out there 235 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: and and you know you you execute and you play 236 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: with good fundamentals, UM, there's going to be times where 237 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: the other team has an idea what you're gonna do 238 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: and you still do it well. So you know, I 239 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: think you know when it when it's all said and done, 240 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: Every team has tendencies, Every team has things that they 241 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: want to do, Every team has things that they feel 242 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: best about doing under pressure. And at that moment, what's 243 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: really important is whose players execute with good fundamentals and 244 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: good technique and good toughness under pressure. And I think 245 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: that's probably more important than you know, UM, you know, 246 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: reading too much into trying to break tendencies, etc. Um, 247 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, especially in critical situations. Thanks us. And last 248 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: question Adam, Hey, Josh, good morning, Good morning at him 249 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: and UM, so haven't been around Tom so many years. Um. 250 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: You know, as he's gotten later into his career, the 251 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: the age gap between him and his teammates has obviously grown, 252 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: UM become pretty unique and pretty extreme for for pro sports. UM, 253 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: what have you seen sort of about how he relates 254 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: to connects with his younger teammates despite that age gap, 255 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: And do you think that's something that's that's pretty important 256 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: for him and for the team. Well, you know, I 257 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, you know, we 258 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: all we all coach and play for the Patriots, and 259 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: something that tom has always done very well, as you know, 260 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: we all have. We all have have you know, things 261 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: in common, and most importantly, we're all trying to pull 262 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: in the same direction and help our team win. Um. 263 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: And he he communicates well with with every player. One 264 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: of the things that's always impressed me is how he's 265 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: one of the first guys in the building to know 266 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: a new person's name, um, you know which is you know, 267 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: it speaks to you know how important that is to him, uh, 268 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: to to introduce himself to somebody and also get to 269 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: know that person, whether it be a practice squad player, 270 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: at rookie, whatever it is, um, you know, and and uh, 271 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, we all have important jobs to do here, 272 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: you know, we don't we uh we take those very seriously, 273 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: as Tommy Doll always does. But I think one of 274 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: the big roles that a quarterback plays on the team 275 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: is you know, just you know, being able to communicate 276 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: openly with with each one of his teammates, which Tom 277 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: does um. And you know, at the end of the day, 278 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: we're all different ages, we all come from different places, 279 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: but you know, we certainly have the same goal in 280 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: mind when it comes to what we try to do here. 281 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: So I think he does a great job of connecting 282 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: those dots and really trying to pour himself into his 283 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: teammates and they know that they can communicate with him 284 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: and talk to him about anything, whether it's football or not. 285 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: Still makes him such a special leader. Thank you very much. 286 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: Thanks a lot.
