Speaker 2: Here we are, Happy bye week. Finally here, finally here.

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: It's only been since mid July, coach, it's been a

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: long run. But you come into the by having beaten Jacksonville.

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: And let's start there, because at the end of the game,

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: you kill the clock with the ground game, and I

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: know you're all fired up about that. Guys blocking Joe running.

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: You got the job done, ended the game.

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: I love this the way we ended that game right offensively.

14
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: Did not want to put the defense back out on

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: the field, so they knew we were running the ball.

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: We knew were running. He's talking through it with Bobby.

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: He's going with our best run of the day, and

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: we show up and it's no more important block on

19
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: that play than Robert Woollis coming into the screen.

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: Robert Is.

21
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: We put Robert to block their linebacker. He did an

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: exceptional job with blocking him. Our tight ends were great

23
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: on that play as well, Laramie, excellent jobs lost everybody,

24
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: is what we talk about in a run game, getting

25
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: a hat on a hat and controlling the line of

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: scrimm is moving guys off the line of scrimm is.

27
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: That's how it looked right there.

28
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: And that was a fun way to end the game,

29
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 3: you know, to make sure we're going out in victory

30
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: for Mason and kneeling it out.

31
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: Love to see that every single time.

32
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: That's both times on a road Division game. Did it

33
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: Indian week one? You did it in Jacksonville, finishing it

34
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: that way and that's so it's fulfilling. But coach, that's

35
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: ten nice of this to you after the game. That's

36
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 4: ten straight Road Division wins for the Texans. I don't

37
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: ask you if there's any secret sauce and or once

38
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: you give that up, but what is it about playing

39
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 4: on the road in the division where you guys sort

40
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 4: of light up a little bit and go get wins?

41
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: I wish it was one thing I could put my

42
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: hat on that it was, you know, one thing here

43
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: playing on the road, But it's really just the way

44
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: our guys showed up mentally yesterday. That was that was it,

45
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: Like we were in a great spot. Everybody was playing

46
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: to win the game like and that was that's what

47
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: you felt the effort, right, the mindset, how guys were finishing,

48
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: like that's what it takes every time you line up.

49
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: We're not playing to not lose, you play to win.

50
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: And that's that's what I saw.

51
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: Did you have any concern at all that that might

52
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 4: be the case that we've had twelve long weeks, this

53
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: is the thirteenth week. Man, where are they going to

54
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 4: be physically? Where are they going to be meant to

55
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: Did you have a concern about that heading into the game, because.

56
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: For sure, that's my concern just when you go at

57
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: it for such a long time, like it's draining, like

58
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: especially physically on the body. We play a very physical sport.

59
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: It's taxing on the body, and a lot of people

60
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: don't see it. I mean, you have these a lot

61
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: of guys that are going through It may not be

62
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: a really significant injury, but guys will have these nicks

63
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: and bumps that they have to kind of fight through

64
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: all the time, right, And I just have so much

65
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: respect for the guys knowing that the pounding that they

66
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: put on their bodies and to go thirteen straight weeks

67
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: without taking a break, and it was it was definitely

68
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: on my mind like that, we just have to push

69
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: through and got to muster out to win, even though

70
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: our guys are physically exhausted.

71
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the end of the

72
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: game for a moment because it's third and five and

73
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: you said you your best running play ready to go.

74
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: But as the head coach, you also have to be

75
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: ready for those tough decisions. What if it's fourth and one,

76
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: fourth and two, are we gonna punt? Are we gonna

77
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: go for it? Try to end the game that way.

78
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: You always have to think ahead like that.

79
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, you always have to think ahead.

80
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: Of course, every play you think this is gonna get

81
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: the first down, but you're already kind of thinking of

82
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: head and that situation, Like, man, I'm just whatever our

83
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: best run is in that situation. I was thinking first

84
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: down only, like, let's makes it we get But if

85
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: we you know, we were in that situation and we

86
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: had to punt the ball, we had to punt it

87
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: and go play defense.

88
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: Coach, you gave the offensive line of game ball.

89
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: We talked about this a little bit.

90
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: They got a couple of sacks early on, early game,

91
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: early game, running not getting as much, and then all

92
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: of a sudden it was that drive in the third.

93
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: Quarter when we got this six to six.

94
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: You had that five play drive and they opened up

95
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: Joe that long run and they Joe scored it the

96
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: next one. I feel like after that you really kind

97
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: of broke the damn in a sense of running the football.

98
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: When you went back and look to the tape, how

99
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: did you kind of ossessed with your offensive line was

100
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: able to do.

101
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that was it, man. They stayed after

102
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: it in the run game. The passing game, like the

103
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: protection I thought was really one of our best days

104
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: of protecting. We got a few of the same pressures

105
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: we've seen getting forward to a side. I thought our

106
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: guys handled that really well. They communicated well, but overall

107
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: they gave CJ time and the protection piece. In the

108
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: run game, I think we're just staying after it, staying

109
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: after and kind of wearing those guys down. I think

110
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: that's what really made the made us have a good day.

111
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: In the running game, I mean, Laramie did a really

112
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 3: great job playing physical all game. Juice had one of

113
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: his better games, saw a step there and improving. Just

114
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 3: guys are getting better, and that's what's so cool to

115
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: see about you know where we are at this point

116
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: in the season to still speak about how we're improving

117
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: and getting better down the stretch like that's it's encouraging

118
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: to see how much better our team can be when

119
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: every everybody's firing on the same.

120
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: Does it surprise even you how much of a leader

121
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Joe has been for this football team and how effective

122
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: on the field as well. I know you're expecting good things,

123
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: but these are amazing things you're getting out of him.

124
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's not surprising just watching him when

125
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 3: it first came into the building, Like you just feel

126
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 3: the guy who had confidence right, so he was sure

127
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: that he's gonna turn out. Yo, He's gonna get yards,

128
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: he's gonna make plays, and you felt that. And he's

129
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: been the same guy from my first interaction with him

130
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: when he first stepped in the building until now. Like

131
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: he brings that swagger I talk about all the time,

132
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: you bring a swagger in a confidence that he brings.

133
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: He brings it to our entire group, and I think

134
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: the old line everyone fees off it. They're asking like

135
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: can we run.

136
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: The ball again? Because they know what Joe can create

137
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: even if it's not there.

138
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: It's one play where the Jacksonville Jaguards they lined up

139
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 3: kind of on the wrong side and they got to

140
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: overload to our left, and we're running the ball to

141
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: the left. But Joe's able to put a foot in

142
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: the ground and create his own explosive run just by

143
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: being a dynamic player playing with great visions. So when

144
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: you have a guy like that, even though you're running

145
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: into a brick wall, he can hit put his foot

146
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: in the ground and go make a play on his own.

147
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: That's big time play.

148
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: And this is kind of your vision for the offense

149
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: right because CJ Is still throwing the ball a lot,

150
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: your top five in passing yards, your quarterback is, and

151
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Joe's doing what he's doing third in the league in

152
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: yards per game. So it's all kind of working together

153
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: right now.

154
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: You want to see that continue it is.

155
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: It's about being having a balance attack right on offense. Right,

156
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 3: we can throw it when we need to throw it,

157
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: and also when you can run the ball, it just

158
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: makes it easier. Right now, we wanted to lean heavy

159
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: on our play action pass game versus the Jags. We're

160
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: only able to do that because of what we can

161
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: do in the running game. Like you can only get

162
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: the second level defenders to step up if you're effective

163
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: at running the football.

164
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: And so it goes hand in hand. Right running the.

165
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: Ball leads to Nico being open in the middle of

166
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: the field with no defenders around him. So we just

167
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: continue to work on that, having balance and making sure

168
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 3: we're execute in on all phases.

169
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: Kacho's asking about fatigue level at this point of the year,

170
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: both mental and physical. And you were asked about the rookies.

171
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: You know they thirteen year row. I mean, that's tough

172
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: to learn. They're learning the game. M thought about the

173
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: rookies that have been on the field. I felt like

174
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: even though yesterday got beat on the one touchdown, Kamari

175
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: was involved in the run game all game, all like.

176
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: He was diving into plays. He was there and for

177
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 4: our listeners out there, if they want to go see

178
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 4: the difference in how you play it as a defensive back,

179
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 4: watch the Jaguars defensive back on our last play with

180
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon.

181
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: Around the ball.

182
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: He won any part of that. Kamari wanted every piece

183
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: of every Teal jersey that was coming his way. We've

184
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: talked about what you like about him, but to see

185
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 4: him doing that in week thirteen.

186
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: I thought that was a real big feather in the cap.

187
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: What do you think about how he played yesterday when

188
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: he gave you in the run defense.

189
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, his intensity and the way he shows up as

190
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: a corner, the physicality is it's amassed. Like you don't

191
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: see corners stepping up in the run game the way

192
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: ma does. Like in the way he just flies around

193
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: to the football like. It's fun to watch. And when

194
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: your corners are physical and they're tackling, that's the makings

195
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: of a physical defense. The same on the other side,

196
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: I talk about Robert and his blocking on the perimeter,

197
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: like your receivers are blocking, your corners are tackling. That's

198
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: physical football, right everybody else on the inside, that's a given.

199
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: You have to play physical. He won't make it on

200
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: the inside. But Kamari Man, he flies around and he

201
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: is fun to watch, so I love watching him play.

202
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: He's man.

203
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: He played a lot of snaps for us being a rookie.

204
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: You know, we threw him in there and he's he

205
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: has n't blinked. He's made a lot of plays for us.

206
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: He's still growing as a player, but man, I love

207
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: his intensity on the field.

208
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Coach I know you've been asked a lot about disease,

209
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: but one thing about his character.

210
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: You were asked about that as well.

211
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: This is a phenomenal individual. Johnny and I were so

212
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: impressed the first time we got to spend some time

213
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: with him, and anybody would be if they do get

214
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: that opportunity. I know it was a rough moment yesterday,

215
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: but what about as ease and moving forward and what

216
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: he means to this football team.

217
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, these means everything to us. He's our leader, especially

218
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: on the defensive side. He's our leader. He gets our

219
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: guys going, he's that communicating the communicator on our defense.

220
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: He's that quarterback of the defense. So he's everything to

221
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 3: what we do and how we can be effective. As

222
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: it takes him right, and you don't have that Mike

223
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: backer out there like you're seeing in the game yesterday,

224
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: we missed him right, We missed his presence.

225
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 2: He was on track to have.

226
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,239
Speaker 3: A really good game, like he had a very productive

227
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: day within nineteen snaps. I think he had like five tackles,

228
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 3: so he's having a productive day. But as he he's

229
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: just the character and the guy he's he's such an

230
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: amazing guy. He wish you know everybody could get to

231
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: talk to him and know him. But he's he's a

232
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, Like he

233
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: really cares about others, like not only his teammates, but others,

234
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,239
Speaker 3: Like AZ's came from a rough upbringing, so he understands

235
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 3: what it's like to not have and he wants to

236
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: make sure he shares and helps others. And that's important

237
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: to him. And that's who he is as a man.

238
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: He's caring, he's loving. He's a great guy to talk to,

239
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: very intelligent young man. And I just I love working

240
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 3: with him. I was known his ease since twenty nineteen.

241
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: I got a lot of conversations with a lot of

242
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 3: toss diseases like family to me, Like he means a

243
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: lot to me, And I know the type of player

244
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: that he is. He plays physical, he plays fast, and

245
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: that kind of gets it's shunned because of the game

246
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: we play now today where people aren't playing as fast

247
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: and physical as asease and somebody gets hit and it's

248
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: like whoa wait a minute, can you still do that?

249
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: Like yeah, it's football. It's still a violent game. It's

250
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: still a physical game. But you know, we all have

251
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: a Za's back and everything he's doing, and I've talked

252
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: to his ease.

253
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: He's in a good spot coach.

254
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 4: At six to six in the third quarter, and you

255
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 4: get the ball after they kick the field goal to

256
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 4: tie it, and we've haulted, talked about the second half

257
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: scoring problems and all that kind of stuff, and then

258
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: you have the screen that goes awry. But then the

259
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 4: next four plays might have been for your better offensive plays.

260
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 4: You hit Nico on the route inside route, Dalton goes

261
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: up and over somebody. Yeah, and then Joe hits the

262
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: two runs back to back, and it felt like that

263
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: was one of your better drives when you felt like

264
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 4: when we felt like.

265
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: You needed one needed and it came up.

266
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: With the big drive. There was that kind of the

267
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: way that you saw that five play sequence right there,

268
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: that that you had to have it and you got it.

269
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: That's exactly how I saw.

270
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: It's been so much talked about our second half offense

271
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 3: and them, Man, we definitely need this drive right now,

272
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: and our playmakers are top players stood up and made plays,

273
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: you know, Nico, Dalton, Joe, Just for them to make

274
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: those plays in that moment when we needed it most,

275
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: for us to get I think it was seventeen points

276
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: in the second half when we haven't been scoring a

277
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: lot of points in the second man. It's impressive and

278
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: it goes to show like we're still improvement, we're still

279
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: growing and we can be a good second team. Right

280
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: when we put it all together and just executing that

281
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: shows right there we needed that drive. Offense stepped up

282
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: and made it a big drive for us.

283
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: All Right, it's bye week, but I have a feeling

284
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: you're not going to be sitting around in a Hawaiian

285
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: shirt with an umbrella drink.

286
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: Coach.

287
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: I know that you're gonna spend time with a family,

288
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: but there's work to do. Also, what about self scouting

289
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: and all the stuff we hear about teams going through

290
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: during bye week?

291
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: What is there about that?

292
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, with the self scouting, you go back through

293
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: just your season or the last You go back through

294
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: like the last four to six games to see just

295
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: the things you've done well and see are there any

296
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: tendencies that other teams may be picking up on that

297
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: you can look at with a fresh set eye. Sometimes

298
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: you get into the monoton as this week game plan

299
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: onto the next. Sometimes you maybe lose sight on some

300
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: of those fresh ideas that you need from studying other

301
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: teams or just really taking a deep dive at yourself.

302
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: So we'll look at ourselves, see.

303
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: Where things we've done well, things we can change, and

304
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 3: just see, you know, where we can lean in more

305
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: on certain plays. But it's really a time to refresh

306
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: as coaches, so you can't come back with a set

307
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: of fresh eyes as well.

308
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: All right, the AMG Bank ask coach question of the week.

309
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: All right, coach, I'm gonna give you a selection of

310
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: movies you can watch with the kids, and.

311
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: You got to pick one. Okay, here we go.

312
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: Some are Pixar. I don't think Minions is Pixar, but

313
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: Minions is one of those, right, So Minions up, Inside Out,
