• 0:09
  Speaker 1: it's the emotion of how much you put into the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: week and then and then you know, playing playing like
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we did. So it's it's frustrating, you know, and and

  Speaker 1: and you know, I just I h our break obviously
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: comes at the right time. You know, our guys, our
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: guys need some time away. They need to they need
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to refresh, recharge, you know, coaches, players, But we do
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: need to take I think the first part of the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: week and and really reflect and go back and study
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and as coaches to see what's been what's been good,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and what hasn't been good.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So that's that's the that's the great opportunity that we have.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Six games left and and uh it'll be it'll be
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: exciting cause you know most of those think four of
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the six er division games and and uh, you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: still a still an opportunity there.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, how much uh the defense there? People would have
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you got a forty minutes for weeks, you know, thirty
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: eight last week and he says, yeah, or I feel
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's been a long season.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Eleven games, you know, two weeks in London obviously, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and you know, travel and whatnot. I did, and I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: do and and I think, you know, the guys need
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a break.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Right, you know.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: But I I I'm sure, I'm sure if you ask them,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: they probably feel I'm sure they probably feel tired, right
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: they they feel drained a little bit, and they need to.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: They need to refresh and get get ready to go
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the last name your last game.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I can't I can't control of that.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And and you know, listen, I've been I've been around
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: this league a long time, and you know, if it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, it's gonna happen, obviously. But but at the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: same time, I still have a job to do, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and and that's to you know, you know, get ready
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: uh for a you know, uh a good division opponent
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: here in two weeks.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know yet, Uh something I gotta think about,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you know, and R And it's just.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard to put it all on. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: think one person. I think I think coaches have to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: look at themselves. We have to look I gotta start there,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: look at myself, and and obviously to the staff and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and what.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Are what are we doing?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: How are we you know, preparing our players? And and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: then the same way with the players, right they gotta
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: look at themselves and and critical themselves and and and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and then make the make the changes, make the corrections
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that we need to to get better. So I'll process
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a few things and and.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But you know that's I'm glad we got the buy
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: right now though she gets offense and.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Time.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Just how forbidable was this line? That's a good team.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're rolling, they're playing well. You know, Jared's playing
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: really good and and you know it's you can see
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: how this team has really come together. You know, all
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: three phases are playing well. So credit what coach Campbell's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: been doing and and really getting these guys, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to to buy in and and and play well.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: You know, one like this you don't have trouble getting.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's always that that possible ability, But I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: don't think so, not with this group. I think this
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: group will continue to respond and and do the things
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: necessary to prepare for a football game. I don't I've
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: never since that with this group, and don't anticipate that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: At any point today that Rins took the heart out
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: of you or.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Was it good or do you feel like it was
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: more of a fatigue factor the steam has just got
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: worn now. I think it's I think it's the latter, honestly.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I think the fact that we've been on the field
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: way too long defensively the last four weeks, and you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and that's a that's a combination of of you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: offense has to do their part, which which hasn't been
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: able to do, you know, stay on the field and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: score points, and we haven't been able to do that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And that's what we got to look at there too.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: But I think there is some of that that fatigue
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: there of playing a lot of snaps, you know, uh
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in these last couple of weeks. Uh, you whatever, have
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: had the good years you played around the bye about
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: what do you say him? I mean, we'll see, we'll
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: see how he does during the week, uh of this
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: buy and and see where he's at. You know, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna commit right now. Obviously we'll still got
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a ways away, but you know, uh, we'll see, We'll
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: see how he does this week and and uh, uh
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you know, we got time, so we'll figure that out.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: You earlier about uh doing some reflecting the nice possibly
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the nice couple of days or whatever.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: In any way, do you feel like the first two
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: weeks the season set the tone for this season. You
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: lost two games and you had a really good chance
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to win, and it seemed to be the kind of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: symptom of too many games this year. Yeah, I mean,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I look at that, and I have looked at that,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and I have thought about that. And sometimes it's interesting
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: how a player here, player play or two here or
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: there can kind of change the course of a season.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That's so early in the season, though, that you still
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: have time to fix it, right, So it's hard to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: uh maybe say it was just that, but but some
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of the mistakes still being made, you know, I just
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: have to be have to be fixed, have to be corrected.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And you know, but again it's not.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Lack of lack of effort or physicality or nothing like that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: We just we needed this team needs a break. What
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the Lions. Nothing.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: They just played their scheme. They just played their defense.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: It's a good defense. They played fast, say, and they did.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: A nice job when we got you know, in that
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: high red area.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You know, they did a nice job of just holding
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: this to three there a couple of times times, but
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: they just they just played their deal.
