  Speaker 1: a number of ways. So we're trying to get ready

• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I won't be able to give you a ton of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: information on some guys because we don't know yet guys
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you know coming back. So we'll have a couple of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: guys that you know, kind of practice kind of modified
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: fashion this week and see what happens by the end
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of the week.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: When Arizona and having so much newness, what do you
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: go back and look at like, forget it, is it
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the way the Eagles that ran or is it just
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: what they've done?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Just look at we look at everything that they've done
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: with this new staff and the new coaches. You know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the head coach has an impact on the team. You know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: they're they're aggressive, physical team, running the football and featuring
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a running quarterback and all that and it all fits,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you know, right in with coach. And so we we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: we have six games, you know, so that's that's a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: lot for us, and then we also have pre season.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: You said that you probably won't get able Lucas back
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: this week. Is he gonna practice though this week?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Well, what's the outlook with Kobe Bryant White.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: He ended up going on I R You guys just
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: taking a while for the injury. You know, that's all
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we didn't We can't rush him and we gotta do
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: it right. And so you know, he had a similar
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: injury before. It's not the same one and it took
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: quite a while too, So we're just this is the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: way we've gauged it to make sure that we ensure
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: him his return. Did Jason Peters have any setback or
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: why he didn't wasn't ready to.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Play last week?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: He did have a little bit of something that Yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he had the quad that was bothered him a little bit,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't enough to you know, to call even
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: an injury. He just knew it and so we just
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we just slowed played the gotta wait another week.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Is he back to square one or is he close
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: find out?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. Yeah, he's one of those guys.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you precious play guys. We don't have
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to tell you all the stuff in this way.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: We didn't Jake Current, how's he done?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Jacobs?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You know, he went through the walk through today, so
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: he's he's he's moving okay for for right now, for
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: coming off an ankle in the game, you know. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I won't know though.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: With Josh Jobs, he hasn't played a ton and what
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: have you been able to see out of him since
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: he's taken over there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: But he's benefited though he's I didn't I don't have
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: anything to really compare him to. But he's benefited from
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: his time because he looks very well equipped. He's very
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: much in command of the game. They have a lot
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of offense. He's in the middle of a bunch of it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: With the running game that he adds to it. He's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a really good scrambler. He can throw a variety of throws.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: He works the whole field. So I don't know what's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: kept him from getting his chances, but he looks like
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a really good football player, and and he's factor because
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of the way they're using him. So he's a challenge.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Going a little bit further on his the factor of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the run game that Dobbs can make. What is he like?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: What you see in him as they.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Run, Well, he's he's adept, he's got good speeds, a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: little bit of a long Strider's a tall guy, you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and he gets out and guys don't catch him very quickly.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You know, he's he's had some good, substantial runs already.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: He's a threat in the running game. But he's also
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the threat in the passing game too, to get out
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and go. And and the thing that I like about him,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: he's running really tough. When he's had his chances, he's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he's running into some guys to make extra yards to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown. Earlier in the year, you know, he
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: took a real big hit to go do it, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: he accomplished the task and got it done. And so
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that those guys are rallying behind him, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you know, excited about the way he's playing.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Escridge eligible to practice this week, not yet. He did
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: all right, Yeah, he got back.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And did Okay. It's up against a really good football player,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and it was challenged by it, but he
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: made it through it and came out okay.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Boye Mafe has a sack in three straight games.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, what did you see kind of his development
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: from year one to what he's doing here two. He's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: made a big jump. I think I've said he's probably
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the most improved guy from year one to the year
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: two noticeably to us, you know, and it's basically in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: his awareness as understanding of what's expected of and how
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the game goes and and and being able to play
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in all situations, run in pass. He's he's been a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: really nice player for us this year so far, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: he's just really just getting started. So he's gonna be
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a I think he's gonna continue to grow and take
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunities that he gots. He had a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: great opportunity in the game last week when the protection
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: allowed him to get free and he made a great
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: sack on it. So he's doing really.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, Bill, You and DKO said that the
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: penalty in Cincinnati is different than.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: There's some other penalty doesn't matter, not here in the whistle, but.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: You still look at it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: In the season, he's got five palias on the year,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: three or fifteen yards.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: He's led the league and at these among receivers the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: last three. You guys talk about how you're working on it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: It's getting better on paper.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we put we put them all. We put
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: all the penalties on the board. Uh. You know, you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: know in Monday's meetings and the guys had the most
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: run on the top. You know, he was up there
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with another guy and uh, you know, we all have
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge it, you know, and recognize what our issues are,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: whatever they are, and it happens to be in this case. Uh,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: he's getting he's getting called, you know, So he knows
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he's got to clean it up. He's got to make sure.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: We have to make sure that we're aware of how
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: they're calling stuff. And uh, and he's a very aggressive
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: player and very physical and it stands out and he
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: draws attention because of that. So we got to be
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: cleaner and he knows it, and he's got to get it done.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Then you think between the success on the field and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and the you know, thetiness. I guess there is, yeah,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: there is. It's the competitiveness that that is special in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: guys and and uh, but you have to channel it
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: properly and that's comes with experience and and sometimes it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: comes with you know, the pain of it, you know.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And so the main thing is that we're address and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: we're on it, and he knows it and he wants
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to get it right. He doesn't want to hurt our team,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know, by making a penalty. So but he's not
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the only one. We got some other We got to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: do way better in the penalty department.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Three of the next four games at home. Do you
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: feel like.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Comforble advantage has as much of an impact as it's
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: had in the past.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And the reason I asked is.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: If you go back to twenty nineteen, in games that
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: fans have attended, the team's thirteen and fourteen actually as
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: a losing record.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And so it's what I'm really disappointed in knowing that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But the reception that we had and the way we
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: worked hand in hand with our fans last time there
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: this year, that's that's what it feels like when it's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: really special here and that I've never thought that they
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: have to get us going, We have to get them going,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you know, and so it's our play that gets the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: fans you know, tuned in and part of it. But
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it can be a factor, you know. I think it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it's there's a little bit of a trend, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: if teams not winning as much at home. I don't
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: know if those numbers are support that, but it sure
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: seems like that around the league last couple of years.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And we don't I don't want to pray to that.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You know, we got to get back and get out
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: ahead of this thing. If you're gonna have a really
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: good season, you have to be really good at home.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And that's that's there's no two ways about that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: How good was straight round on Sunday?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: He played really well, He did really well. He's played well,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you know, really most all of his chances. And I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: mean I've said this the many times, you guys, but
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you go all the way back when he when he started,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: before he got hurt, you know, he was playing like
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a like a starter and should be out there on
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the field and all that. He's come back now that
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: he's healthy and ready to go, and he's played very
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: effectively he's had huge plays for us, and and uh
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: so he did really well.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: How did Jamal make it through the game?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And he's really sore, you know, coming out of the game,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and we kind of chuckled about it. You know, it's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a good sore, you know, because that means he was
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: out there and earned it. So he's really excited to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: be coming back again playing again US. He went to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: walk through today, So I think he's making a positive
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: push forward here. We se would have, but I don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: know until we get through the week.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Your gino take a lot of responsibility for the game.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: But what is that, whether all those things he says
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: are on him are or not.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: What does that do just with the team when.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: He's kind of saying hey with that, yeah, I think
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it's the perfect and illustration of leadership. You know, it's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's that's exactly what guys should do. You know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: if that's how they feel about it, then they expressed
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it that way. That the example that they display for
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: other players is exceedingly valuable for us, so that you
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: don't spend time trying to deny what just happened. You
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: get after it and you figure it out and you
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: get right and get better for it. And I thought
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you did the perfect job of that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Well, that's some of the mistakes that happened. So they
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: were uncharacteristics in that regard. Does that give you the
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: hope or confidence that it will be figured out that
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: it was something?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Worried about it all? In that regard, Yeah, we had,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: we had some protection issues that made really hard on him.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And there's just a combination of things, you know, he
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: had really the play the DK last week was as
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a funky play. This doesn't happen like that, you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and we have not practiced that happening and so and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you would, but you know, that
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was one that got away from it. It's just stuff
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: happens sometimes.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Was that the best game he saw it of Jackson
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: so far?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, I thought, yeah, by far. And I made
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a point aback to trying to make a point back
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: because I wanted him to hear it too, that he
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: played really well in the in the Running Game. He
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: was really clean with his assignments. We moved him around
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. He came through on his catches and
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: his plays. He did a really nice job in the game.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, this is this is six six
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: weeks right now, right six weeks in the season coming up,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you know, and he's not wearing a cast anymore. He's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: not wearing anything on his arm and in his hand anymore,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: wrist anymore. And he blocked well, you know, and threw
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: his hands in there aggressively. I think any any passing
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of judgment up until now I think was premature. He's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: just getting and we love him and he's a he's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: going to be a real big factor for us.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Is that maybe more of a bigger deal, I mean,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: kind of having that happen when it did the.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Risk, Well, I like to see if you'd play Bob,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you know, let's put a couple of pins in your
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: wrist to see if you can type that thing like
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you did. Yeah, I think it's a significant thing. And
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I think he was perfect about handling it, and uh
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: admirable and took leadership in that, you know, in that
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: regard early in the season showed guys that you know,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: you can overcome, get back out and all that, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: so the best is yet to come.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Pete Draymond Jones just how he's helping the one and
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Evite's what can you say?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: About him.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been active. He's been really active. He's he's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: had really powerful plays, uh, you know in the in
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the running game, penetrating getting in the backfield to start
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you know, some lost yardage plays. We saw a great
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: pass rush from him last week. The week before he
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: had two or three rushes he had I think he
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: had a sack, but he also had to a three
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: rushes where he was clean and started the you know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the the process on our way to getting a sack.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: He's been contributing in a good way. It's been fun
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to see him, Jake.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: But you mentioned Monday that that play he was open,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: that you didn't throw it to him human waiting all
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: game to set that play up? Is that alone? Him
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: knowing that alone show him You think that keeps him
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: confidence of where he is when you open right.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Now, I really don't want to talk about that very much,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: but uh, but you know, I don't I don't know
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: affects him in that regard.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Are out for the Cardinals. It's running back by committee
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: right now. It's the challenge when you know that you've
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: got a number of.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Different guys and it's James Connor is a he's a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He's an iconic football player. To me, I've loved the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: way he's played over the years. He's so physical and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: so tough and he uh, you know, not everybody's like that,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: or he would he wouldn't stand out like that, So
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I know we would miss a guy like that on
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: our team. So you're gonna miss him. But they have
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a good group, and they have a number of ways
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that they mix their looks and stuff and use of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: a variety of guys have really fast receivers and they
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: use them accordingly, and they're in the backfield some and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they factor in, so they've got plenty of factors. It's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: different though, you know James with his big time you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: player and contributor and all that, so they're just a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: little different.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: He on how many days we know his ability to
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: defend the past, and it looked like last game that
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: he's actually further down in terms of towards the line
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage. Is that that's a good observation. He did.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: He made some terrific tackles and really just passed the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage in the interior because of a couple
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of the calls he was suited to be there but
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: he came out of the middle to make one that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: was a great one too. He just tackled marvelously in
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the game, and we were using him as examples all week.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Clung this one. It was our best tackling game all
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: collectively and all and he contributed in a big way.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Safety is really I mean, think about that. You know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: those guys all made good plays and in the running game,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: in in the passing game, making their hits when there.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Were two players, and he split the players and made
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: the tackle.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: On the screen.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a great play. Yeah, that's that's a play that
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: guys with with savvy and sense they take their shot,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you know. And so instead of letting the blockers having
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to play off the blockers, he took it to the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: blockers and found a way to penetrate and get to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the ball career. That's pretty characteristic of how he's played,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: you know. That's the kind of player he is, and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: so it's great to see that it happened in this game.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Back and then he had the other great open field
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: tackle and a crucial third down situation as well.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: So yeah, every week is such a I guess a
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: learning experience for Devin that he moves for and gets
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: more more experienced. Maybe what stood out about the way
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: he played on Sunday that was I guess a different
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: or just amplified based.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Around however, the chances that he had, he came through.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: You know, big went over the middle on Chase and
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: he just was in the right spots and did things well.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes the opportunities just don't show. You know,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you can't do anything about it, but get hit in
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the back of the head with the ball, you know
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: on great carriage on Chase again on a third down,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: So you know he's he's doing he's doing. Nothing really changed,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just opportunities.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Back to kuck ball down on the pressure unity.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, back a boy him off there. You were talking
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: about him back in summer. Was it right when you
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: got back to camps before? When did you say something
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: was changing him?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Well, first off, I'm looking for that to happen, you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: obviously some I'm asking the guys and getting around to him.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: It's interesting that even before we start practicing, the guys
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: they have already made a jump and they when they're
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: in the midst of the first time around. You know
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that it's kind of like they're in the fog of
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it all. And when once they get away and they
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: get a couple of months out of out of football,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: they look back at their time. They see what they saw,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: they know what they know, and they the obvious observation
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that they make. I can't believe that I knew so
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: little and played the whole football season compared to what
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I know now, you know. And and so maf was
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: one of the guys that came back with a really clear,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of an excitement about that. I think
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be different this time around, you know.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And Aba was the same way. Charles was the same way.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: You know, those guys they were really clear about that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: They they were excited to come back because of what
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: they now knew, you know, that they were capable.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Of what needs to change besides just converting. But how
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: do you get better on third down offense?
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Well, we did, you know, we did a little bit
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: better on both sides of the ball this week. And
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I'm taking that little bit of the improvement and step
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: in the right direction. It's like two or three plays
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a game. It's not like fifteen plays. It's two or
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: three plays a game that you have to win on
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that you're not winning on and so you got to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: find your way. Part of it helps when it really
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: helps when the d and ds are in your favor
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. You know that you
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: don't have the long ones on oh and you have
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the shorter and you have you know, longer on defense.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It just helps you so much more. But so I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: think we're going in the right direction. We felt it
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago and didn't always show stat wise,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: but this last week did We're gonna see if we're
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: taking up step forward again.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: With Kobe's toe. Does you need a procedure anything?
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: No, No, they've already done some stuff. Yeah, they've done
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: some stuff to not not sergery though.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: There you're go, thank you.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. K
