  Speaker 3: and uh yeah, shoot, just looking for or to another
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: great challenge. You know, go out there and go this
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: week and you know, try to try to go, want
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to know.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Getting the run game go like you guys did, especially
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the second half.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Just what can they do for this offense? Yeah? That
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was that was awesome.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I mean the the backs were backs were running grat out.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: The whole line did an awesome job as well. And yeah,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know, that's it's like being able to it's
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: not just about being positive, but even just the explosives
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: that came out of the running game, you know, that's uh,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: those goals are kind of the kind of plays that
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: you know, make offense is very dangerous when you can
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: be explosive and you know, both facets of the of
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: of your of your offense.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And yeah, and that was that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Was great to It was, gosh, can we fix this
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: kneel down rule with the you know, it's got to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: be it's gotta be right, it's got it's got to
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: change soon. So Drew, Okay, last night Drew went Drew's
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: first kneel down. He stepped away too far back. He's
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: got you gotta stept forward.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: But it's all right, Well we'll address it tomorrow with them.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Cooper, just kind of have this run and kind of
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: feel like you're getting moving offensively the way you have
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: obviously the second half a little bit of a set
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: back there with the passing game, But like, how do
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you guys feel like as a group with the shortness.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Of Sam when he's going and it kind of just
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: how it's kind of played out here in recent means.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, uh, I think it's gonna be It's
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: be interesting look at this film because uh, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of stuff that you've that
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: we've done that's like, man, there's there's little details here there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: That you know, we harp on all the time. Like
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: then the details just have to be better.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Even though there's you know, even they're finding success, you're
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: moving the ball, you're scoring touchdowns, it doesn't mean it's perfect.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: There's always these little things that you want to fix,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you want to be able to address in your process.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Because of the process at the end of the day
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: is what you know affects and creates the the end results.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And so our process has to be right. And I
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: think what you saw on the second half that we
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: come out and it's like, man, little details make the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: day difference, right, I mean you saw this plays today
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: with with our defense, I mean your your inches, your
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: your your milliseconds away from you know, a play being
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: an complete pass or a fumble, you know, like we
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: we were, we saw that offensively. The difference between being
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: able to you know, make the plays and not making
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the places is a razor thin margin. And so addressing
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: those details, like, man, we're gonna go watch that and
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: see it, like, hey, look these plays that we got
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: off barely and became big plays. But at the same time,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: look these plays that our details were off and they
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: made the play barely, you know. And so as much
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: as we can just strain to finish those plays, strained
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to find, like be detailed in our process to allow
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: ourselves to to make those those little things, Man, find
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the slight edge for this team, and I think that's
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: gonna gonna you know, let us down the.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Right path on the on the sideline, watching DeMarcus Lords
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: score for the second time on the entire six.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was like dejavo. That was it was crazy.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: It was I think it might have been the same
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: exactly defensive call, you know, like teen night d Law
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: score review touchdown.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It was like it was that was impressive Beyond the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: designer roles. It seems like you guys have had a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: lot of big passing plays.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: On times we're seeing him escape to the pocket and
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: his size down the field.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: What do you think of that?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's he's doing a really good job.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I think he's done a great job being able to
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: step up two hands on the on the ball. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I know it's something that he was saying that he
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: had focused on early in his career about just being
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: able to you know, create that habit. And he's done
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: an incredible job off schedule. And you know, I mean
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: some of the stuff just that you talk about, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: his movement wise. I mean the first throw he made
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: moving to his left to Jack's for the score. That's
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: an unbelievable throw where you put that one, And so
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you know his ability to do that and he's been
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: doing it for his whole career though. Those kinds of
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: throws are something that you can see all the way
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: back when he was in New York. So, you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: very impressive and I know that's that's part of his game,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: that's part of what he does.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And yeah, definitely not surprised by it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: How impressive is that way Jackson on those balls, Like
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: there's guys on him and kind of commish, like body control,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the way the tracks called.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah tracks tracks the ball really will He's he's done
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a great job of it and be able to catch
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the ball.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Bump technique, you know, you know ball.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: You man made some tough plays down to the sidelines
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: this year, being able to have the body control to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: you know, be able to catch the ball, keep his
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: feet in and things like that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So he's he's done a great job of that. You
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: only had a would catch today.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But how do you how are you seeing already his
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: skill set complimenting with the rest of your receivers, just
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the offense in general.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: What they do they make you carry? Oh?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you, I mean I think you saw
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: me early on there we have we have played the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: jacks where you know that the safety backside from Rashid,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: he knows that, you know, there's a post alert. Anytime
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: that Rashid's on the field, there's a chance that you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: you can be taking the top taken off.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And so you know, I think you're gonna see that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It's a dangerous thing when you can get the run
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: game going and things like that, and you're like, man,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: you want to keep the you know, you want to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: keep the lead clothes on the defense, but you want
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: to try to stop the run games. There's a lot
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: of things to defend and things in the plaque should
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I think that we can come a lot with And
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: that's just that's what we want to be offensively, that
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: we want to be balanced in every face that makes
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: you defend every kind of you know, run past, play,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: action screen, whatever it's going to be, want you to
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: defend all of it. And I think we've done a
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: good job of a good job of that balance and
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Rashid's here to bring a new element that's I'm very
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: excited about.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I think that's
