  Speaker 1: Whatcha got for me? How how far are you guys
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: away from the team you want to be right now?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I would say we're a couple of plays and a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: couple penalties away. I feel like there's you know a
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: lot of moments in certain games where penalties hurt us,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: where certain plays that don't get executed right hurt us.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel like we gotta go back to
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the basics, gotta go back to the foundation and make
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the plays when it needs to be made, and and
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: turn this thing around a little bit.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Explosives in particular, what what's the key to getting other
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: out of day?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: That could be studying more, being more on I think
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: it's just more so just the little things, making sure
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that you're mindful of the little things that at every
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: given point, cause you never know when that little thing
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: is going to be a big part of the game.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Do you care?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: All this week? This a little one characteristic other singling
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: players out for not executing what the game or the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: coaching us the forty nine second or nine they they
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: never run the home They really killed him? Is he
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: as frustrated as you've seen them in all your time
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: with them?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Right now?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's the uh, the whole situation is is frustrating. Obviously,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: we have a lot of talent that you know, we
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: need to find a way to maximize that talent. But
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you know, he's still the same positive self. So I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: didn't really look into it that much.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: There's talk of losing.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: The locker and the the point of the season, the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: younger players that have been around maybe not internalizing the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: message you send any of your back. He did his lot.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's uh.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You know, when you go on a four game losing strength,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: everybody tries to find something, tries to create the reason.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You know, especially people that's not in the locker room,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: they try to come up with the reason because you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: try to figure out what is going wrong, and so
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: you can name a player, you can name the this,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you could do that. You know, winning cures all of that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So the moment you win, then it's you know, it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a whole different source. So we understand what we need
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: to do. We need to do it quick. So distractions
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: there's what in fighting.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know you did that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think I saw the whole clip, but you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: kJ is the immediate personnel and so yeah, I know
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: how that goes. Not a statifude at all, though, genuinely, guy,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think we can. I don't think we could
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: think like that in mind's opinion. I think we need
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to make sure we win and do what we need
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to do to win, and everything else will take care
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of yourself.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: The moment we start thinking about.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Playoffs and this and that and all this other stuff,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you you miss what's right in front of you. So
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I I don't think that's my message to the guys,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: or I don't think that's how I'm looking at it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it as we have a good team,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you know, coming in here. We have got to do
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: better and we need to win and that's the focus,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and everything else will take care of itself. What does
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it real?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Jandlin hurts since skills set that no other quarterback can emulate,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: whether it's the touch push or just his ability to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: run and to throw, what is it that makes a U?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's always tough to to go against
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a guy that can, you know, make really good passes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: but also uses his feet when he needs to, you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: touch push thing. I don't think anybody can solve it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: You just try to you know, hope that you stop
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it when you need to. They they've been really successful
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in that. But I think the biggest thing for defenses
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: is to not let them get to that third and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: one or fourth and one or get to the goal line,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and that allows them to do that. So we have
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to do a really good job on first and second
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: down creating those longer yardages so you don't get 'em
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: into that situation, cause they're very successful at it, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you know we'll be ready for it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You spend practicing that spell.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: There's one team that runs it with great success, that's Philly,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: So how much time could you spend looking at at
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: their practice?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think we've practiced it a lot, just
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: because you know, uh, the teams over the yeah, the years,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: saw how successful it's been. So you saw other teams
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: try to do it, but nobody's been able to do
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it as well as they do it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So you know, you take, uh, you mindful of it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, like like I said,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they're not doing the tests push in first and ten
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: or second and nine or thirty nine. They're doing in
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: thirty one s you know, second and one short yardes,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: so you just gotta make sure you get them out
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of those positions.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Is it yard about as far as they'll they'll like, if.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: They have a yard will they ever try it on
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: like fourth and two or for sure?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I think just the forty nine ers in the rect zone,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it was like thirty or second and three or something,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and they went for it and then they just did
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: it again until it got to the end zone. So
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: they'll definitely do it sooner than you think. But in
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: those moments, I think it's it's more closer to the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the red zone.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It's more closer to scoring.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Because at the at games flocks offs, you know, from
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a big game that night game score is that?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: How is it weirder all to have a a game
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: moved from.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: One day to another like this? I don't think so.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I think in this particular situation, you get an extra
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: day of rest, and so I think that's nice. I
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: think it's you know, you look at it from that
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: perspective as a player. I mean, I think the the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: difference would be if they they took a day from you,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you know, if I was we was playing Monday night
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and then they made it Sunday night, that would be
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: more of a difference than you know, kind of adding
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a day to your to your routine. Are you getting
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: guys to focus in doing the little things and then messaging?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Is it then remembering when they were successful or just
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: who they are in terms of did you mention?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's a reminder of who they are. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I also think it's it's over communicating. You know, sometimes
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that's when a little thing might slip or whatever because
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you're not talking or you're not you know, making sure
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that everybody's on the same page. And so that's the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: whole message, is making sure everybody's on the same page.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Cause it's not just a individual person. This is a
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: team game. So being able to make sure everybody's on
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: one accord is the biggest thing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Is there anything it's.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Been hard about that this year at all than say
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: five or six years ago.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, you know, you got a lot more
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: young guys or like for myself, it's a lot more
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: new faces. But you know, it's the same thing. It's
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: not it's not not much harder. Ohb you were one
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: of them eight finalist for the Arreny Awards.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: What does that mean to you and the the company
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and the a lot of other.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Big games of their Yeah, it's pretty cool, you know.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, when you look at the list
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: of guys that are the seven guys, they're you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: really amazing players, really amazing people. So it being that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: that group is really cool be up for this awards
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: is really cool. So you know, I don't know what
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: goes into picking the person, but you know, if I do,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: then it'll be a blessing for sure.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about the league maybe doing something
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: about this hip drop tackle.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of it personally. I think at
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: playing playing defense is hard enough. I just don't understand,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: like if you have a guy going forward and you're
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: kind of behind him, like, I don't know what other
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: technique that you want us to use to get them
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: to stop their momentum. These are very strong, fast moving individuals,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: but I'm not surprised. So if they do do it,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: then it is what it is. We gotta adjust. Just
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: makes the game a little bit harder, but it'll be fine.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Cool
