1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: And we're having good Christmas. Yeah, it was great. I

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: didn't check with everybody, but I'm assuming that they all

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: had had a nice day. That was up with Oree

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: he back, you know, just he's just been dealing with

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: it since since Sunday, you know, sore back that's kind

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: of affecting his lower leg a little bit. So, um,

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: he's just trying to get himself right. He was able

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: to go today, which is good. Simon's from practice from

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: the game, Um, probably, I don't. I don't know. He

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: just had some some some some symptoms today. So um,

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: we weren't in pads today. Um, but he might have

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: got banged around a little bit. Good days of his

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: first day in the Protoco as your year way, Yeah,

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean he started practicing then left in the middle

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: of practice. So Your Experiences is the last game. That

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: challenge to keep that focused and everything's got plans to

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: leave and you know go home man, you know, to

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: keep im quote one more game name. I think that

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: plans to leave things overstated. I think these guys are professionals,

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: you know. I think it's important for for us. It's

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: it's our last game. You know, we're one of twenty

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: teams where this is gonna be your last game, and

23
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: unfortunately we're not one of the twelve yet, and so

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: what you want to try to do is win that game,

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: and you know, for your fans to be able to

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: enjoy a victory that to end the year. And I

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: think that's that's important, and I think that's what we

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: all fight for, UM. And then we all have the

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: personal reasons for why we we coach and play this

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: game because we're we're all hyper competitive, and we all

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: we want to do what what we can to enjoy

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: the thrill of victory. But do you think you're closer

33
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: to the playoffs at the end of this year than

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: you were at the end of the last team. We'll

35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: find out next year. But I think we made a

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: lot of progress in a lot of areas. And it's

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: hard to quantify when you don't match it up with wins.

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: I get that. But you know, we've you know, probably

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: played it about as many young players as as you

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: can play, not because we're playing young players, but because

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: at this point there are best players and so those

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: guys are gonna really benefit from the reps they get

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: as you know, we structure and move forward. UM. You know,

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: you've got a rookie quarterback that's made tremendous strides and um,

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: so you know that that's probably a question for next year. UM.

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: But I think as we continue to grow here and build, UM,

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be said for going out with

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: a win. Do you think go ahead, Pat got one.

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll have a chance to see it

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: for it to next year. I mean, it's that's that's

51
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: been a weekly question. That that's probably a question for

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: later on. We'll see. My focus, quite frankly, is we've

53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: got a short horizon. My focus is on Sunday
