  Speaker 1: Like I just told them, very proud to you know,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to be their coach in terms of the way that
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: these guys continue to compete, Uh, the effort, the physicality,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought they played specifically on the defensive
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, you know, very well. Couple. You know,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you got your third and fourth and sixteen that we
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: give up, which is a little disappointing in a situation
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: we end up giving up points, but against their first defense.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I thought our guys that were in the game played
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: against their first offense, I'm sorry, competed really well, you know,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: made it hard on them early on and really made
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it hard on them to kind of move it all night. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We were a little nervous of that as we had
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: some chips and weren't really trying to push the ball
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: down the field. Probably needed some explosives in order to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: win that game. But for some guys that just kind
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of came off the street to come into our building
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, give us great effort. It's hard
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to get those guys all on the same page and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in a short period of time. But I appreciate the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: work that those guys came in and did for us.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Three preseason games in the book. Yeah, we still got
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to continue to get better. There's no doubt. We cannot
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: waste a single moment, second minute, practice, walk through, meeting,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: cannot be wasted. We need to improve and from now
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: until Carolina there needs to be continued improvement. But I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: am proud of this team in the way that they compete,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the physicality in which they play with. I think we
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: can if we can start there and have that as
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a standard that continues to show up every time we compete,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I'll live with that. You know. We got to obviously
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: execute better in certain situational moments and have some guys
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: make some plays, you know, and some moments, But I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: am pleased with where we're at from that standpoint. Your
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: first roster cut down coming up as a head coach,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be time. Yeah, yeah, it's especially as
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: your first uh. You know, so many of these guys,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: like I told them last night, are have been a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: part of creating our edge and who we are as
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a team, And so those decisions aren't easy at all,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: especially as a young coach doing it for the first time. Really,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: those conversations aren't easy, The decisions aren't easy, but I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: think I believe some guys probably help themselves out tonight
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in some ways, whether it's for our team or somebody
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: else's team, and ultimately you want to help guys continue
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to further their dreams as well as obviously make our
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: roster as competitive as it can be. Cool. Yeah, thank you,
