  Speaker 2: hard look at at ourselves, first internally as far as
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: coaching goes, and then making sure.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: We are.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: You know, presenting the plans great communication, and then and

  Speaker 2: then look, it's it's a it's a two way street too.

• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You saw from last night on a short week. Yeah,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: it's tough. I mean the first thing we got to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: consider is is obviously injury you know for a short
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: week that that that plays into into personnel, and that
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: plays into you know who who can be available for
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: this football game. But you know, it's what I what
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I what I like about, you know, situations like this
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is we're back on the field, you know, tomorrow and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: we get a chance to erase you know, obviously a
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: poor you know, a poor performance.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: And you mentioned the leadership of the locker room being
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: a big key to like getting this thing turned around
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: last night. What what is it that you need to
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: see from the leaders in your locker room to try
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: and get things head in the right direction.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you know again, you know I had
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: mentioned that the coaches need to coach, and players need
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to play, and obviously the leadership if you want to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: be an elite football team, you know, it's led from within, right,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it's led by the players. And and just listen, it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it's the speeches are done. The speeches are over. We
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: don't need any more raw row stuff. It's just time
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to go go play football. Fix the fix the mistakes,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and you know, do everything we can to uh, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: play our best best football this weekend.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Appreciate the coach.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: We'll go to Gary then Mia, Doug.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the injuries, the four guys who left at
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: some point during the game, Jerry and Gabe and Anton.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: What's their statuses? You know it right now. Jarian is
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of as tolerated with his shoulder everything,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you know, everything medically. This morning, his check up and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: things were good. It's just gonna be as tolerated with him.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Anton, Yes, yeah, Anton against his knee the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: same when he injured, you know, the week before. He's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: just gonna be day to day. You know, this week
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we gotta be careful with him to make sure he's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: feeling good, you know, going into into Sunday. Gabe, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: his shoulder at the end, it's just something that he's
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: again day to day, but but should be should be fine,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you know, for for the game. And then Foyer it's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: his fullet his is probably more week to week right now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and you know there is a chance that he misses
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: this football game.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: And do you anticipate any changes in coaching responsibilities as
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: far as doing what on game days?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Going forward.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, Mia, followed by Mark.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: Kind of building off of that a little bit, Doug.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: As far as the offensive operation, I know one thing
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: that Trevor has said, you have said that communication. How
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: would you evaluate the communication between play caller to the
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: quarterback last night comparatively to when I know it was
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: certainly something you guys addressed after the Cleveland game.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It's been great. There's been no issues you know, from
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you know, play caller to quarterback. You know, we haven't
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: had any issues whatsoever. I think I think sometimes the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: mistakes that people misinterpret when it comes to communication is
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: play to play, it's it's sometimes on the field, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you know, we make sure that and I make sure
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: that you know, coach to player, whether it be in game,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: on the sideline during the week, is you know, it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: got to be of the utmost importance because you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that's something that it's it's imperative to having success right
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: on game day and then we can fix the play
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to play or the in play sort of communication issues
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that sometimes pop up.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: So it's not an issue of trying to get the
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: play call in and enough time. It's more so a
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: matter of those checks alerts at the line and just
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: everybody being on the same page. Correct, Thanks Doug.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Mark, followed by d Rock.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: Hey, what was the How bad was that plane ride
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: home from a standing sitting on the tarmac waiting whatever
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: you got wherever you guys had to wait? What was
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: that like? And does that add to a daunting week
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: anyway when you got to go from the road to
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: the road with then less with one less day.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. You know, it's obviously nothing that you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: we we can control. It was out of our control.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: There were there were issues with our original you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: original flight. So we we just we just camped out
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: of the stadium for a couple of hours. We uh,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I think we landed around uh what we landed around
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: six am this morning, got a got a couple hours
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: of rest, and we're back in the office. So the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: biggest thing is for the players. You know, they're they're
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: off today obviously, and then you know the schedule, as
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you guys know, is pushed back a little bit tomorrow
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: by design, uh to give them some more rest before
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: before we take we take the field. So uh, it's
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: imperative that they do everything they can, you know, number one,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to get rest, rehydrate, get focused and and start working
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: on Houston.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: You've talked about how frustrated you are travers talked about
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: how frustrated he is. How has that sort of kind
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of impacted your guys as in a interactions with each other,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the relationship because you know, obviously you're you're both angry, annoyed,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and you know, with everything that's going on, I'm just
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: wondering how that has impacted how you guys are interacting
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: with each other, if at.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: All, you know, if anything, our our our frustrations player, coach, team, whatever.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It might be. Uh, it actually it Actually I think
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: it builds a stronger character, builds a stronger bond. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and we've had great conversations, you know, over the last
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: couple of couple of weeks, you know, and and we're
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna continue to have great conversations. I think
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it's I think it's of the utmost that he and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I are always on the same page with everything that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: we do, and we are and uh, you know, but
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: but we're you know, listen, as part of it is
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: part of what we do. There's always going to be tough,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: difficult conversations, you know, And and that's what I appreciated
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: about Trevor is he's willing to listen, He's willing to,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: you know, to speak his mind and and and that's
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: that's what it takes to to to work through, you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: work through our issues.
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: Is some of the stuff that you're doing offensively this
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: year markedly different from the stuff you guys did in
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: like the second half of twenty twelve, twenty twelve, twenty
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: twenty two, when the offense really started to get rolling.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Is it pretty much all the same stuff? It it is?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You know, obviously there's a few few wrinkles here and
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: there by by design, game plan wise, but for the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: most part, it's the base offense, and you know, it's uh,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: it's just it's just kind of plug and play. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: we've got obviously we've got some young or I should say,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: we've got some new faces out there. But but that
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that shouldn't be an excuse, that shouldn't shouldn't matter. We
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: should still be able to execute at a high level.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: You guys think you'll have Evan Ingram back this week.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It'll it'll be close, it'll be close, but again a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: short week. I don't want to I don't want to
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: risk anything you know with Evan, we'll see, we'll see
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: tomorrow where he's at and and go from there. But
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: we should we should have Savage back this week, which
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: will which will be good.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Jean, followed by John.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Oh that geen. Okay, let's go to John Shepley for now.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Uh. Brian obviously got a lot of looks last night.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Are you seeing him become more and more I guess
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: comfortable and giving you confidence that you can put more
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: and more on his plate moving forward volume wise?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: We are, and and yes, you know he's done a
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: good job, you know. And again it's the more, the
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: more comfortable Trevor is with him, and and the more
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: on the same page they become. You know, he can
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: handle he can handle more, but we want to make
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: sure we're doing it the right way. I don't want
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to just just load him down with with a lot
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of stuff. I want to still I want him to
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: play free and freed up and play fast. But he's
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: done a good job for us. We still have some
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: things to clean up with with his you know, obviously
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: with his route detail and some of the attention to
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: detail overall, but he's done a really good job.
