  Speaker 1: I don't know. Merry Christmas, everyone, don't.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Wonder if you could help me understand the pre pre
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: snab chess game that goes on and touch some of
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: your players where teams are trying to offenses, trying to.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Hurry up before you get your feet, your your cleats
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on the ground, is what they're saying. Yeah, I think
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: as you go through the season when you play different teams,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: different teams are trying to gather as much information as
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: they possibly can before the bull snap. You know, So
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: some teams might go quickly because they might want to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: shock you and keep you out of position, or some
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: teams might take it all the way down to like
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: as the play clock goes down to two to one,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and they might be gathering trying to hard count to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: get you to move to show what you want to do.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: So it's like it's that when you talk about game
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of chess, that's the game of chess of like pre
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: snap fireworks. The teaching moment for your squad is just
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: be consistent and you know, setting up and getting ready
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and yeah, just hold your water and be consistent. They
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: gave you a little bit of it's the first three quarters.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: In that game, but make snaps that you've played to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: kind of come up with this three and outs the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: border with you guys, kind of find there and to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: kind of be.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Able to get Yeah, I think it's a credit to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Mike because everything he speaks about, like there's a lot
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of stuff we have to clean up, and but when
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it's winning time, if you can show up as much
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: as you possibly can in those moments and create the stops. Like,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: really and truthfully, I said to Mike the other day,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: one of the things that we don't give enough credit
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to is the fans. Like I thought after that return,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: like the place was on fire, and I thought it
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: just gave the energy was just so high and everyone
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: fed off it and it was so cool. Makes the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl again this year.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Obviously he's got you a mystery, But how much is
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the player or the person he's been it's kind of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: aligned with like you're hope of the game when you
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: came here.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just low. It's just like he's a he's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a great football player that the ball finds him, he
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: makes plays, he plays the game the way it's meant
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to be played. And I'm so happy for him and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: so proud of him. Who likes to go for it
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on fourth down and they've been successful, What is that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: change about how long? I just think you need to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: be aware of it and you need to be ready
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to play. We faced quite a lot fourth downs this
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: year and had some success on the lower lower end
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of like the yardage, and we've got we've got to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: improve on the further end of the yardage. But no,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I think every every week we practice for those moments
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and prepare ourselves for those moments.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Went for several times on down on the first.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Half, So I mean just said, then, I guess where
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: do you need to make sure the guests? I think
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: like in the game today, I've seen it as I've
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: been in the league more and more people it's becoming
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: normal football. So when it's normally used to think like
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: third down, we're off the field, get ready, But now
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you're thinking, okay, we're in plus territory, they're going again,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, So like it's it's not allowing your mind
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to slip into oh yeah, great play, because just like
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: lots of players, it's kind of hard to make two
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: big plays in a role because you're your emotions are
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: going so up and down. So you got to keep
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: it extremely level for.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So many years. Third down is this focus and Mike
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: did an in turn, like focus on third down and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: now that fourth down is this thing? Has that changed
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: third down playing at all or has it changed focus
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: on fourth down?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I think at times it matters where you're on the field. Yes,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it does, Like you see more teams running, running the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: ball and plus territory, different things like that tree and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it like kind of second down or they've got yardage
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to go. But I think with the guys we have
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the coolest thing is that it's like every down matters,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and it's like how you play it, how you're in it,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: how you're living in that moment, how how we play
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in our play, how we understand how details. And I
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: think if we can keep pushing that process, the outcome
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is the outcome and we have to be happy with that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: A couple of guys talked about communication just being challenging
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: at home, you know, as loud as it was in there,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Like how much is hand signals not enough for what
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you guys need to communicate? Like where does that fall
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: short for you? Guys?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to, but you also have to understand
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that you're giving away information. The more you do that,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you know. Like, so it's it's the balance of both.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And we have to keep working on like weaponizing our
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: home and I think we're doing a good job of it,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but we have to keep pushing it. We have to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we have the sound up loud here, we have to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: work on silent communication. Understand those things, how we how
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: we practice, and how we do it to play at
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: home at a high level.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Can opponents pick up the hand signals in the game,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: like even if you change them from one game to
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the next.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Now if you change them, like there's different ways, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it's still in the speed of the moment. There's certain
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: things that you have to just be aware of and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: how you do that. Does the total yards that we're
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: up last week? I think it's just you go back
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to the process. It's like, ultimately do everything to win
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the game. See you call ultimately do everything to win
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the game, and you have to step back and reflect
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: on it at the end of the game, win or lose.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Where the positives were, where the negatives were, and how
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: do we fix them. It might be one explosive that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we want to fix, It might be five, it might
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: be ten like last week, it's just okay, you have
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to give more emphasis to a certain thing and you
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: have to make sure you put that fire out because
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: if you don't put that fire out in this league,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it's just going to keep burning for the whole year,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know. So it's like constantly instead of reacting and saying, oh,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we've got to do this, but we've got to do that,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it's just like, let's just keep moving forward. Is just
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: keep our process going and keep rolling. The specifically the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: ones that went to Puka, what did you see on
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the issue on those Some of them with the sound
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: which we talked about home, and others were he made
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a great play like some of it like the I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: thought the catch that the seventh cut he had on
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Spoon was just Spoon done a great job. It was
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a great throw and catch. And that's what happens when
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: good football's played on good on good sometimes you win,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: sometimes you lose. And that it's the ones where someone's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: running and they're running free that we've really got to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: work on. On the other hand, though, was just that noise,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like it seems like you guys started to get after
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Stafford more in the fourth quarter.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Does that noise that help in that regard, it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Helps there, and then suddenly when the games, it's just
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: like like we said, we spoke about some of the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: things last week, when a team's playing a certain way,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it's like, you cannot let the run. If they want
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to run the ball, you cannot. You've got to stop
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the run. And then you've got to earn the right
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to rush the passer. And then if they still don't
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: want to let you throw the ball, then it changes
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: when the score changes and they have to move the ball.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And then suddenly that's why you can't slow down. You've
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: just got to stick And I know I say the process,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but you have to literally stick to it because those
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: things do slow rushers down. If they're not up to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: pass rush, they might start slowing down. It might not
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: get off the rock. You just have to keep going.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And they came alive and they got some ups. Have
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a great ris
