  Speaker 2: at the hospital and the doctors, the nurses. I mean,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: those people are a plus plus and what they do,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: it's pretty pretty awesome that that's what they do every
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: day and the stuff.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: They work through.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So just really blessed, really excited. Uh, I can't wait
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to see him again tonight and uh here we go.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: But it's for our football team. It's it's it's a
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: big week. Also, I want to thank less for and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: all the rest of you know, people holding down the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: fort men. H. I really appreciate all their attitudes and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: everything in the buildings and the players have been great,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: they're excited, so good times.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But for our football team, this is obviously a huge
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: week for us. Again.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You know, we've been talking about playoff football coming out
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of the buy and this one doesn't disappoint either. This
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: is another playoff guess the road playoff game. You know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: this is the type of mentality that we're having, so
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: really good football team. We're about to play back at
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: their place. So obviously we saw him a couple of
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, and you know, we'll make necessary adjustments and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and kind of move forward.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But excited about this week too cold.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: You strike me as a planner. How did you react
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: when you found.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: The new data for your first kid?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Honestly, there there's a lot of people people say, don't
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: confuse hope with the plan. There was a lot of
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: hope and that I just knew he was going to
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: come at the right time, know, h.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you know you're thinking like, hey, what
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: if on the road? Honestly, like there, it wasn't really
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a plan. It's just like we're just going to go
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And uh may mean there's some things that went into
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: why we did it when we did it, but will
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: leave that kind of in the family.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Name Jack David McDonald. So, welcome to the world.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: What do you think about the.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Team this weekend and having played the Cardinals just a
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago. Does that make it easier to
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: game plan or is it more of a challenge to
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: do something different against a familiar opponent.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think we look at it through the lens
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of whether it's more difficult or easier.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It's just kind of is what it is. Uh.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: The kind of the information that you get in is
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a little more recent than normal when you play a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: team the second time, But I think you look at
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it like any any other week. The thoughts when you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: play a team twice, you know what went into the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: game plan, you felt during the game, how we debriefed,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and obviously you're gonna apply that, Uh, you know, throw
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: what's happened over the last week or so, and kind
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of the game that's sandwiched in between it. So I'd
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: say it's it's probably more definitely way more like normal
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: week than than not.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Cardinal's run a lot of.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Cover zero, almost more than most teams in the NFL.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Obviously there's implications for the past game when they do
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: that are some implications to the run the team's.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Running in the run game against zero?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: H Well, I mean what kind of zero would be
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: my question and what's the situation.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: But you know, normally you don't see a.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Lot of exotic zeros on early downs. Normally it's more
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: double edge things of that nature. So there's certain runs
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: that you that you like against those things. There's certain
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: sort of kind of pass solutions that you can get
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: to as well. When you're doing your play action pass protections,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you're thinking how all that matches up, and if there's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: indicators things of that nature, then you know then and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, not exactly.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could be in zero.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: In past situations and not necessarily being a great shape,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you know against some some certain runs because it's everybody's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: of the line of Scrimmagere's not a lot of depth
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to the defense too. So again there's pluses and minuses
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to anything that you want to throw out there, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: we do have to be ready for their zero package.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: They do a good job.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: What was your evaluation of Lameya and is he gonna
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Are you gonna stick with him as the.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Starter as the plan? Right now?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You know there's a couple of couple of mentals to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: start out the game made but you know, talking about
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: rookie playing his first meaningful NFL action, But you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: we felt him out there. I thought he did a
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: great job getting used to the game. So excited about him.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: But that's the plan right now to stick with with TAW.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: The last meeting against.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: The Cardinals, it'd be easy to look at the run
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: defense and say that was the best thing the defense did.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: But when you evaluate that as a whole, what did
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: you like about.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: The response from that unit, the run defense or just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: as in total.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's I think it's an example of
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: having a plan throughout the week and uh preparing together
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: with the sense of urgency about how we want to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: play the game and applying that and then as the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: games for us to unfold, how we communicate on the sideline,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: how we adjust, how we feel like they're playing us,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: things like that, how the game's going. So the togetherness
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of our unit is probably the most important thing right
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: now of how we prepare, you know, the mentality and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the confidence going into game plans and throughout the week,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: so challenges is to take it to the next level.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That's what we want to do.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So there's there's things that after that game where we
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: felt like, maybe, you know, there's some areas where we,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you know, Arizona might want to attack us, and we
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: get we got to go to work on those things
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and and.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Do what we do.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Probably didn't hire Leslie Frasier with this specific scenario in line,
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: but just how valuable is having someone like that that
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: you can trust to turn things over to when you
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: need it or just to lean on when you need them.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it means the world.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I mean that that's one of the reasons why you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: we we wanted less here so bad and why we're
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: really grateful to have them trust them, you know, with
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: anything and everything under the sun. So this is one
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: of those things. It definitely didn't expect it to happen
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like that, but man, what an awesome resource and asset
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to our to our organization and football team. So we're
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: thankful for him.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Would your kickoff return situation right now? What does that
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: look like?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I guess what's you're assessment of Yeah, I'd say like
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: both returner spots and the punt and the kickoff return
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: game we're working through still, so we don't have an
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: answer quite yet. We have some people that we're going
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to be working at those spots, uh De included. So
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I just don't have an answer for you exactly what
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do right now.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Your offensive space almost seventy five percent don't coverage over
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the last few week's number one in the NFL. Why
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: do you think that is and what are the opportunities
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: that that presents?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you have to you have to. You
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: have to balance what's showing up on tape. First is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: how you expect them to play you versus and then
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: actually what happens in the game.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So you have to be able to be adaptable.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You have to be able to like call things that
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: are good versus everything, and then also call things that
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: attack certain things as well that have answers in case
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you're wrong.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I think our coaches do a really good job of that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: And it probably speaks to our skill. You know, all
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the zone coverage frankly so to shout out to those guys,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: but it's hard to attribute it to like one certain thing.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think like distribution wise or tempe. I'm not
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: sure what's going on in the minds of other defense
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: coordinators and how they plan it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But I know this, I.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Mean, you know, it's tough to play one on one
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: with with our guys, you know, for sixty plays a game,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: So tribute to our guys.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: It seemed obvious that Leonard Williams was going to be
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Defensive Player of the week. Yeah, it also probably seems obvious.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: But what does that say to have back to back
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Defensive player of the week on or about where the
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: defense and where the team is.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I I mean, I'm I'm happy for those guys obviously,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I mean they I think both guys earned it, so
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that's it's great for them. And again, it's a team.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It's a team more. You don't just make individual plays.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So these guys, you know, they're playing an elite level,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: but your teammates have to set you up from play
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to play on a consistent basis to have all those opportunities.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: So it really is a kind of a team recognition.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: So it's good for our football team. And I love.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Their mentality of hey, let's you know, let's build off it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Let's go try to you know, get a street going,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: let's go to try to get a third in a row.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Like that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: They're not. We're not satisfied by just these individual you know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: awards from week to week.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Your punter's back spasms.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Is that subsided or is it something that's going to
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: be we're still we're still working through it right now.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Optimistic for the week, so we're pretty sure we're have
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: them on Sunday, but we're not sure right now.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: You don't need to add a punter or anything.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Oh that's on the table right now.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, is there a the fact that you just played
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: these guys eleven days ago or whatever? Does that factor
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: much into the game planning for this week or how
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: does that influence things?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Well, like I said, I mean it does because it's quick,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it's a more immediate timeframe and you
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: don't have a lot of time to kind of evolve
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: your team and have like some of the tendencies on
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: like traditional breakdown timelines. But uh, there's a lot I mean,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of things to have changed. You know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the personnels have changed, you heavily inputs of kind of
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: how they get first game unfolded. But I mean there's
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of things that we didn't get to that
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: we wanted to and that we kind of we got
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to that we didn't necessarily plan to. I'm sure they
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: feel the same way, so it's hard to put too
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: much stock into what happened in the first game.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: Trey McBride, what makes him such a threat in the
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: passing game?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I think it happens really in all
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: three phases. Both in the drop back game. He's a
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: really good route runner, so he can get open on
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: his zone in their action stuff. I mean, he's fast
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: enough to run away and has a good feel for
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the zones down the field.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And then he arguably makes.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: The most damage in the catch and run stuff on
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: some of the movements and and screening in that they
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: have for him, so they can get him involved in
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: really their entire drop entire passing game. So it's not
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: just like one thing where you have to eliminated.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: The yards in the last meeting, I think he had
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: a one hundred and thirty three yards. But are you
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: willing to trade that for limiting Connor and keeping the
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: touchdowns off the board, Like, is that part of the
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: give and take?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're like cause and effect on one
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: thing or the other. I think we just have to
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: do a better job of taking away as opportunities. But
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think how we played the run game and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: how we played some of their stuff that gets the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: running backs the ball in the in the in the
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: passes really have anything to do with him.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: The goal line sequence in the third quarter.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: What was your takeaways from that?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it's the same thing I
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: said after the game.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: It's it's really all the above.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So you know, we have sound schemes, how we're blocking
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: those things, we got to execute better. I think we
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: have to have, frankly, just a better plan going into it,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and we got to work together on it. So that's
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: something that is definitely a point of emphasis this week.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Kind of tied to that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: How you feel a weird short yard stuff is and
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: whether run our passes a.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: General, Well, I think we've actually made strides out in
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the field in our short yardage package, but it you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: it's kind of rearing its head down on the red
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: down in the low red zone.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of part of that that uh, that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: area we're trying to attack right now.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Mike, you were a campaigning court on Sunday, but to
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: see Leonard Williams Player of the League. Yeah, that's what
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: you're hoping for. And what do you make of where
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: he's at random?
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean this is you know now, now Leonard's
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: in a in a it's more I mean, like I said, like,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: we think he's been playing at an elite level the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: whole year and we're happy for you know, his recognition.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: But now like, hey, you know, teams know so he's
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: going to be a massive part of their game plans.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: We expect so more preparation, more urgency.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: We have to be aware aware of that as coaches.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: But he's got to keep doing what he's doing and
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and keep this, keep the pedal of the metal.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Does you have the power to to a quarterback sneak
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: in a short power situation?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really want to answer that, just
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: because it's kind of schematic.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Is Brady Russell your number two holder or who's your
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: emergency go?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah right now? Is our backup holder? You?
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: Tana and Stone Foresight if they have a chance this
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: week or what's kind of a situation with this?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, those guys have a chance. We'll see,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you know, how the week goes and when we activate
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: them and all that, but excited about both. You know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: really everyone that has gone down on our is just
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: working their tail off, so when they get their opportunities,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it'll be exciting.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: But we'll see, Well Channing will practice today.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Is Michael Dixon going to practice today?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: There's not a lot of like punt opportunities in practice,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: so kind of working through it right now.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: Because there's only one punter on every team, Are those
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: guys any harder to find like off the street compared
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: to the defect any other position?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Just depends on.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: What's Sometimes someone's out there that you're interested in bringing
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: them in you feel good about.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, let's you know, we can go play this game
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: with this guy.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Sometimes there's not a guy like that, kind of like
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: any other position.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Really, it's a good question. I mean, I don't have
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a great answer, honestly.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: As you guys have had more success stopping runs on
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: inside the tackles, the Jets ran a lot outside the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: tackles last Yeah, do you expect that potentially an adjustment
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: for Arizona Maybe a little more trade Brentson than the.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, we'll try it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Just by my amateur math, it seemed like Trey got
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: some more snaps last week. I'm not sure what the
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: thought I was behind that, So just we had to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: be ready for him. And then, you know, I think
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: they do run similar schemes to a certain extent. The
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Cardinals are way more like gap pull heavy, but you
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: know they can they can their scheme can get you
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: at any point and the attack any part of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: field at any given point. They got you know, they
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: got everything under the sun. So we got to be
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: ready for those things. I do think you'd have to
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: do good job of feeling throughout the game of where
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the stress points are and how you're playing and the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: formations they're building to understand why how they're attacking as
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the game evolves. So but kind of going into the game,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you got to be you know, defensive, guys, man, we're paranoid.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: We got to be ready for everything.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: How much just Arizona's last game factory to your scout.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I know you obviously played them and then they played
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: one game. How much is that factor?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, I mean, it's just it's it's
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: it's the same week in terms of operation, but like
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the timeframe is just more immediate, So you're just you
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: don't want over look you're looking at the most biggest
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: overthinker of all time. So I'm like, I'm trying to
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: keep it simple, you know, and you want to utilize
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: that information best you can, but make sure it's it's
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: useful for what you're doing. And the mentality of our
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: team's gonna be the same. How we prepare, how we
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: game plan, how we want to put our guys in
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: spots where they make plays, try to give them the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: advantage and let them go play fast is how we
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: want to go. Is how we operate every week, So
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that that'll be the thought again this week.
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: If I remember, sorry, if I remember right, you played
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: Pittsburgh back to back at the end of the season
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: or were really close to it anyway, did you notice
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: they went way different that one gave us it a rainstorm?
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I remember, but did they the second meeting tend to
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: be tons different when.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: It's back to my well, you're talking about Cincinnati at
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: the end of the game at the end of the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: year and then the first playoff game. Everything, Yeah, that
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: was a little funky your uh situation because we were
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: scratching up I think like there's a little there's some
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: seeding going on and the mentality.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, we're trying to go win the game.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: So I think I think the seeds are kind of locked,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Like how could you go to a game and not
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: try everything under your power to go win?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So that that was the mentality, and it's.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Kind of like, hey, when the game's over, let's see
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: kind of let's reassess, kind of debrief on it, and
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: then kind of go back. That was the mentality to
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: kind of go back and redo it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: You know, they purposely held things back and went new
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: the second time. Is that the tendency?
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can tell if they held anything back.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't know.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I don't personally believe in that, Like that's just that's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: not that's not fair to your players or your team.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: But you definitely you felt that, hey, you know, we
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: played certain things well, this could possibly have been an
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: answer for you know, something that you know without remembering
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: any specifics. But you always feel I mean, we like
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: you feel that from year to year. You feel that
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: from anytime you're playing a team second time or teams
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that are under like similar umbrellas kind of moving pivot
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: off of how you've been attacked so you're you're always
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: that mindset is always kind of the same, Okay, all right,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: thanks guys,
