• 0:00
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, this is about going
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: one and oh against a team that's going to be
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: extremely ready to play physical. It was a back and forth,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: kind of gritty game, you know last time we played
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in Tennessee, and you know, we do have more football left,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: but that's not what the focus and mentality is right now.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The focusing you guys, some of them have not been
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: in this, but there I.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Think it sometimes can almost help where you're a little
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: bit not I don't want to say naive to what's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: going on, but you're just again really focused on the daily,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: hourly game by game improvement that that that's all we
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: can really focus on right now. That's been the message is, hey,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: let's get our best effort, mindset, execution, preparation, all of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that this week.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: To go one and oh.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And it's a division opponent, a team that you know
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: obviously doesn't probably like us too much, and and that's
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: just the way it goes in the division, right And
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that's just the way that those games go. And you're
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: excited about these opportunities to play meaningful games.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: In January. In December, you talk to the team about
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: that you mentioned they don't like.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: You, and they.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Right, No, I don't got to tell them anything about
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: this game. I'm got to tell them a single thing.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: So they're extremely aware. It's going to be one of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: those type of football games where we understand that they've improved.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I think Tennessee in really all areas. I mean, it's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: one of the best run defenses in the National Football League.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Over the last x amount of weeks, they are scoring
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: more offensively. You can tell that Cam has definitely found
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit more of a rhythm. They're getting the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: ball out of his hands some more RPOs, they're running
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it well. You know, there's not a lot of quitting
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that football team in Tennessee right now.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: There's the well documentary throughout the season about how the
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: offensive line has had to be, you know, kind of patchworking,
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: guys getting hurt and guys stepping in and it's all
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: worked out well. But do you think the secondary had just
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: as many challenges with injuries and the product they keep
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: putting on the field no matter who's what position, it's
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: still been a pretty good week in the week out.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's it's a fair, very fair great point.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It's a group of guys. I've said this before that
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: are extremely unselfish that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: All they've wanted to do.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Really is prove worth and continue to get more snaps
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and to get as much and what they get and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: what they do on Sundays is because they earned it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and because they earn the opportunities to go out there
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and do it through their preparation, through practice, through you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: doing it on Sundays as well.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Milo Perk, those guys have done a phenomenal job. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: think getting those guys ready to play no matter who
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it was and who it's going to be every Sunday.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And credit those that group. I mean Buster, Greg Murray, Dewey,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Jarian braz Antonio, all those guys have played. Obviously Jordan
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Lowise being out now, but so many of these guys
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: have played and made huge plays for US this season
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: at some point or another.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: And look, they just put their heads down work.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: We're typically a little light in the defensive backfield in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: terms of how many guys were actually carrying per game,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and they don't say anything. They just keep working, they
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: keep preparing, they keep practicing the right ways. And I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: think what Buster have almost.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Four pbu's last weekend.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of guys go throughout a whole
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: season without four, so you know, proud of that group.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And you can definitely see a lot of the similarities
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: between the ol room and the defensive backfield with the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: amount of guys that have been able to contribute for
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: us this year.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: To see the defensive player.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: If not, yeah, I would say he's right there without question.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: And it's it's such.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: A pain because they do a good job moving them around. Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you can expect him to be at one place at times,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: but then in base defense he'll move a little and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: then in known passing situations they'll move him around.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: He's extremely strong.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I mean what he does to people out on that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: football field that are grown man is uh pretty impressive.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It seriously, I'm not comparing to Aaron Donald, but I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was with Aaron on a daily basis and I saw
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: what he did to other grown men a lot, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: it was like, Wow, all right, dude, you're you're different, right,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And and that's kind of how I see Jeffrey that way,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: as he's just different. And it takes a village, it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: takes a group effort to prepare for a.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Game record like him. Yeah, before, but just what did
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: your focus when you're going against one of.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: The top turns.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got to be obviously improved from where we
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: were last week in terms of the kickoff coverage, a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: little bit more disciplined in our you know, responsibilities and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: rolls on those on those teams, and then also doing
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a better job coming to balance,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: same foot, same shoulder, being able to shed blocks, strike blocks,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and and just play with better fundamentals and techniques. We
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: know this is a good special teams unit, not just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the returner and DK well coached group and all that,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and so we're gonna have to be more disciplined, have
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit more of that mindset and mentality to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: get off blocks, strain and go make plays on it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But not outside of the scheme. Right, Let's stay within
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the structure of the kickoff coverage and go do what
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: we've done at a high level throughout the majority of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: We talked about there's a standard if you're going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: be a Jacksonville.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: Jaguar player or whatever. What is that standard?
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: How do you what do you tell those guys is
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: that standard?
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: Good player?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: You know mentally and physically tough dudes that love to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: play football and they love the game of football. That's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: where it starts for me and for us as a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: team is there's so much that goes into being a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: professional football player, right, and you try to within a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: team that's obviously the number one focus, right, but every
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: individual has to be able to fit into that team differently, right,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: because everybody is truly different. And so those standards though,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: don't change, right. Those standards are the way that we
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: want to operate on a daily basis, the way that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: we want these guys to ultimately care about each other
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and care about the team first, knowing that there's going
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to be adversity within a season, There's gonna be hard times.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: There's going to be you might lose your job for
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a week. You might be able to get your job
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: back in a week. You might be able to be
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you might be active, you might be inactive. You may
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: have a great game, you may not have a great game. Well,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that's mental toughness. And so guys that can with with
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: stand those type of well, you know, different ebbs and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: flows in a season, that's what we're looking for.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what is what is the way Spencer Whipples work
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: with Trevor Warrens and.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Also yeah, Spence is. I mean, shoot, we go way back.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: You know. I hosted Spence on his official visit at
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: UMass fun time.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Uh and his dad almost might have killed me, but uh,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: we had a good time.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: And then yes, Spence was was with me for a
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: few years. He's Spence is just so.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Good for for me, for the staff because of how
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: uh he talked about the three c's com cool, collected,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: like you always want your quarterback to play like that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and be that way, and that's Spence. He's always like
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: this and obviously I'm not. And so that's really good
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: for the buffer and for the guy in between at times,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Trevor and Ize, you know, conversations, communication relationship is somebody
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that does not ride those waves and get too high,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: get too low. And he knows how to handle me
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: on game and also throughout the week. And I think
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he's done a phenomenal job with Trevor with that communication.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: But also the amount of work that they spend, the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: amount of time that they spend together doing extra that's not.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Easy to do.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It's it's a commitment by Trevor first and foremost like
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to be challenged to want to do extra, to want
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to do more and Spence for the amount of time
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that they put into it. Right, There's a lot of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: details that go into a game plan, none any deeper
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and more important than the quarterback position.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And so Spence has done a great job. I'm not
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: surprised at all.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not surprised whatsoever at how calm, cool, collect that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: he's been throughout this entire season and now that you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: know everybody's always playing well now, I mean, nothing has
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: changed about the way that Spence has coached him. And
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm proud.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Of talking on McAfee about.
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: Sometimes guys just need I guess the right fit, the
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: right situation.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: How much is like guys like Spencer and all the
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: stuff that we don't see or people don't see part
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: of that right fit.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so much of that, so much of the behind
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the scenes, like everybody you know, obviously you talk about
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the head coach, the quarterback, you talk about those things, right,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and the coordinators.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: But I mean the amount.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Of people that make practice just operate on a staff
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: is insane, right, and that operation goes into that's well
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a huge also reason why the quarterback is able to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: have more success or the receiver or the running back
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. It's it truly takes a village, right,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It's not just one or two coaches that man you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can point to, and that's why there's improvement. It's so
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: much that goes into an entire staff per side the ball,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: truly being all on the same page, having the same goals, communication,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: being like this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: There's gonna be hard times.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: There's definitely frustrating times within a staff and a season,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: but I think this group has done a phenomenal job
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of just going to the next week, continuing to spend
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you know, send the right message to our players, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: keep getting motivated each week. That's that's not easy to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: do as a coach at times for this amount of games.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: This this how long we've been doing this for all season?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Uh you?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, I feel like I was just hired,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you know, like not long ago. And so that's the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: fun part though, when it goes fast and you're doing
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it with a group of people that you care about,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and you know they push these guys, which I appreciate.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: This best season running the ball. He talked a little
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: about finding the creative freedom to be creative, but what's
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: that balance where he's able to freelance on plays when
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: he breaks down and playing the grade but not overdo it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just playing man, you know, like that's I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: definitely wasn't the best athlete as a player in the world,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: but I do recall like when when you were playing
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: free and you were just kind of going without thinking
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: too much.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: You just naturally move more like you do.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, the ball is gonna spit, the ball is
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: gonna come out when you when you want it out,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and when the timing and rhythm, anticipation.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: All calls for it. Right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: But you want a guy that does have uh, you know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: let's call it a superpower, right or whatever it is,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: like something that they're good at. Well, you don't want
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: them to ever feel like they're boxed into a call.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You know, you just don't want them to feel that
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: way in terms of Man, I have to throw the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: ball either here or here, or this play is going
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to suck.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: That's not how you want him to feel.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: You want, man, he's going to make this play come
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to life, regardless of what happens, regardless if it's open
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: not he takes the right or wrong footwork, or he
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: ends up having to beat a free hitter. And go
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: make a play Like that's football. That's really what it
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: comes down to. And so often we can get caught
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: up in the scheme and the x's and o's and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the play and it's like, nah, it's about the players
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: making those plays.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Kind of the rule in the season.
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: Has been after this week, is there a second where
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: you can kind of stop and small the roses.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Or is immediately on to the next thing?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't imagine. We're going to have too much
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: time here, you know. I mean, that's the beauty of
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: this league, though, it's so humbling that you don't have
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that time. And there's not a lot of people that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: are truly happy at the end of the season unless
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you're holding you know, the big one. And so that's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the most humbling part about this profession and about this
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: league league is you put in so much time, you
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: can do so many good things, but uh, there's only
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: one team that's really thrilled at the end of the season,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and so and you got to figure out a way
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to go do it all over again. And so no
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: matter what occurs, you're you're able to man, you have
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to reset your mind and go play the next week.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just saw Sean his comments after the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Atlanta game. Just how humbling of a game. This is
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: how humbling of a profession. This is that gives us
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to get off the mat and go do
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it again, no matter what the circumstances were, win, loser, draw,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you got to get off the mat and go prepare
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: for the next game, and nobody cares because it's all
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: about the next one and the next opportunity.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So what do you attribute the versatility of the
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: guys you have back there, the coaching that they're getting
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: and and having this result of the matter, seems like
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: they matter who gets hurt and who's not available, the
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: guys go in there and perform.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: The Uh, it's just it's a resilient group of guys.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: You know, they're they're constantly helping each other. You know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: if you're in that meeting room, Uh, there's great dialogue.
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: I think coach Miless is don an unbelievable job with
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: those guys that you know with the corner specifically, Uh,
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: Anthony Perkins has done a great job with the safeties,
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: and you know, we have some other periphery guys who
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: have done a great job coaching as well, like drewlus
• 14:31
  Speaker 10: Garry has been phenomenal with our guys, some of the
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: young guys especially, you know, just to post practice, pre practice,
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: all the extra stuff that they're doing. You see that
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: stuff showing up and paying off and there our players
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: here are more into that as a collective than anywhere
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: else I've ever been, which is awesome.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: That's just kind of the culture. It's like, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: do more.
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: You get better at football by playing football, so uh,
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: they put so much time into it, and I think
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: that's a huge part of it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: You know, next man up philosophy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: He's not gonna play can Jordan's still help you from
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: a leadership.
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: Standpoint, without a doubt he has, you know, at certain
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: points in the season, really done a great job of
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: helping us in every which way he can.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Even in the game.
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: You know, you watch him on the sideline, he's uh,
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: he's really not too far from me, you know what
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: I mean. He gets the call, he's helping guys when
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: they come off the field, he's talking to guys who
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: aren't in the game at that moment, and he is
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: about as locked in as anybody on the team and
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: on the staff. You know, i'd be REMISSI but I
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: didn't talk about Bill Sheridan too, because Bill is you know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: he was a defense coordinator in this league, and he's
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: another guy, another set of eyes, and another guy, another
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: resource for defensive backs who's been phenomenal and been a
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: huge help to me.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: So I think their development, just.
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: Overall, I would attribute that one to the players, you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: how committed they've been and they've done everything we asked
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: him to doing.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: And then then their coaches, how.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: Much growth have you seen from jar and because remember
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: at one point he was like, I've never played zone in.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: My entire life. Yeah, I've I've had.
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: A great time watching him growing to what he is
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: right now, and I think he's only getting better and
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: it's constantly progressing.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: We were talking about this as a staff the other day.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: In meetings. He sits like he's a guy, like he's
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: front row. He's asking great questions, he's taking notes. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: think Jordan.
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: Was a great example for him and a great resource
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: for him. You know, he was constantly asking him questions
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: in Jordan's early days, early on here when he got here,
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: and they have a really close relationship, you know, friendship,
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: and even since you know, Jordan's been here. I just
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: see Jarrian in his own way, doing extra. I know
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: I've said that about a lot of guys, but he
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: is a guy specifically who's done that and really taking
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: to the techniques and a lot of that stuff is
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: you know, when they're not within the time frame of
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: when they're on the practice field with us, they're doing
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: extra away from here together or away from us together,
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: which I think has been a huge help for us.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Him he's a rookie.
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: But how does it change things when you go against
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: the same quarterback for the second time. I guess the
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: way that's shaking out the season, this is your last
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: week the season, the first time going against the same quarterback.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he is.
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: He is super talented, and I know when we had
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: played them the first time, I had talked about how
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: much they had progressed at that point. But even more so,
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: I think since we've played them last, they've been putting
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: up a bunch of points.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: I think he's done a great job making decisions.
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: He keeps a lot of plays alive and does so
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: with his eyes down the field, you know, so he's
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: generating chunk plays that way. Obviously navigating the rush and
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: then still being committed to getting the ball down the field.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: So he does a tremendous job of that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: I think his decision making is something that jumps out
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: to me that's been really really good. You know, there
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: are some other things that they're doing in the run game,
• 17:43
  Speaker 10: I think that he's very good at and obviously Pollard
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: as well. He's been a big help because their offensive
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: linees generated some lanes and some space for him in
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: the run game, and I think they've been on schedule,
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: done a very good job.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: What do you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Stress during the week to kind of prepare for what
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: Camp does in terms of just extending to play at
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: the same Like, he has several places this year where
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: he's you know, ran.
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: Around forever and yeah, you've got to do a great job, Plaster,
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: and so it's really an ygh disciplined issue. You know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: you have to a lot of times in the red
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: zone that comes up right, But for this guy comes
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: up all over the field and like I said, he
• 18:18
  Speaker 10: is absolutely willing to run and it has done damage
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: with his legs, but he's been lethal keeping his eyes
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: down the field, keeping a play alive in the pocket,
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: and then getting the ball downfield. For chump plays, So
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: we have to do a great job of plastering, you know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: covering obviously playing with it, even if we're playing zone
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: coverage right, getting our matches and then continuing with our
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: eyes on those guys down the field, and then in
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: the rush, you got to be disciplined.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: You have to be disciplined against this guy.
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: If he's got b gap, step up, or you know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: he gets an opportunity to get outside in the perimeter,
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: he can do damage. So that's really been a huge
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: part of what we've been emphasizing with our guys.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Third defense during this streak five times under forty or
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you get into better distances for third dot or you
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: guys just playing better carverage.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Rush a little bit of both we've had.
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: I think even in the Denver game was probably a
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: good example of guys just doing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: A really good job in situational football.
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: Like we didn't have a lot of advent they just
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: excuse me, third and you know, seven pluses in that game,
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: But we did a really good job in the third
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: and short area, you know, short yardage. We were good
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: third and two to three were actually very very good
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: in a couple of those last week that came up
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: and helped us. And I think some of that as
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: guys just being more familiar with the situations, you know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: the things that we're gonna do in those situations, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: taking that game plan, which each week is different, but
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: taking that game plan from the practice field and the
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: meeting room to the game at executing really well. So
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: we've gotten some really really good execution and I think
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: a lot of times on third down, you know, there's
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: so much going on with motion and right all that
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: stuff offensively, what they're checking. Our guys have done a
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: really good job communicating. And that also speaks to like
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: they've been out there a little bit longer. You know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: they've been out there a little bit more. Some of
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: these guys who weren't playing early, they've got more reps
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: out there and they've done a great job of it.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: What Antonio Johnson has been able to do the season,
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: just how impressive is that from kind of tray and
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: camp to now where he's you know, playing consistently.
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah, been very impressed with Antonio because he does a
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: bunch of things for us, you know, early down.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I think you probably saw it last week.
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: He played a bunch closer to the line of scrimmage
• 20:20
  Speaker 10: and did a great job with us up for us
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: and then obviously down the field, you know, on the
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: back end, covering man, the man playing underneath zones and matching.
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: I think he's been really really good, uh since he's
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: been in there, and he's progressed quite a bit throughout
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: the season.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: So I'm really really pleased with him. And he's another guy.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: I know I've said this a bunch, but he's another
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: guy that does a whole lot extra.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: It's important to Antonio.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: I think it's like four weeks in a row where
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Trayvon's man a really important.
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: Tackle for Boss.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: For you guys, what was the d for the defense?
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Just when you have a pass rusher who has sound
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: as he has still sad.
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: Hell Yeah, He's just got such multiplicity to his game,
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: and he's so physical in the run game, a great teammate.
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: You know, he's not looking to go outside the scheme ever.
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: He's a guy you can count on to do his
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: job all the time and just play physical, play with
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: some edge, you know, play with some nasty out there
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: in the run game, and you really value that. You know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: he's he's a guy takes pride in that, you know,
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: not staying blocked and finishing back to the football. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: think there were some opportunities or some plays the other
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: day against Indianapolis where yeah, they got a hat to
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: account for him, and he comes back, doesn't stay blocked
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: and makes a huge flight you know, puts them behind
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: the sticks that you probably can't put a price stag on.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: He's just been so so good for us.
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: And keeping teams behind the sticks, getting us into advantageous
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: second down situations and sometimes advantageous third down situations.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I love the guy. I love the way
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: he plays.
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: And I said that a bunch in here, But he's
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: everything we want to be as a defense. And when
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: you have one of your guys who's a leader doing
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: things that way and practicing that way, makes it very
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: easy as a coach to get that point of emphasis
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: across and develop a culture.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: How excited about you for your brother?
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Fire it up? Firing up for him?
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Man, Yeah, I I'm gassed up.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: He's Uh.
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: He's in a great food area too, y'all. New Haven
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: ain't too far away. That's a great piece of town.
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: So he's I think it was a huge part of
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: the decision for him. But Uh No, I I'm really
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: fired up for him. Whole family's fired up and he
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: deserves it. Man, He's worked his tail off, so I'm excited.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: Appreciate you guys some stability on the offensive line a
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: little bit. I mean consistency, but I mean last week,
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: Jonah's kind of stepped in that center.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, how important has.
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: He been The growth you've seen from him from stepping
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: in the door of being able to replace Robert Hainsey
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: and kind of hold it down for the veteran.
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: He's had a huge impact, not only out there on
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: the field being a step in, but even in the
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: meeting rooms, in the classroom and the walk through is
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: his communication. His preparation is phenomenal, same guy every week,
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: every day, consistent, diligent, hard working, not only preparation but
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: his effort and strain and physicality and finish out there
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: on the field. So probably can't say enough good things
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: about Jonah. I know I feel that way. I believe
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: the guys feel that way. Playing with them, the communication
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: was still at our standard, trying to get everyone on
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: the same page. Of course, we have things we can
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: I prove here and there, but for him to be
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: able to handle that as a rookie is really impressive.
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: A lot of the young guys have stepped in, and
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: you guys pointed towards some of the veteran players Robert
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: Hainsey are when the young running backs try to see
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: team the leadership. How important has some of those veteran
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: guys been for these young guys to go to step
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: in and hope the stands there?
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: Huge, huge, huge, And I appreciate the staff appreciates their
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: buy in to what we've tried to create here, because
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: as much as we preach it, it really doesn't come
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: to fruition. It doesn't materialize unless they embrace it. They're
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: the ones that out of livit. They're the ones that
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: got to go out there and execute the things we're
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: talking about every single day. So it really starts with
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: their buy in as a veteran standpoint, from the starters
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: all the way down to the practice squad guys. When
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: you have that environment where the best players and the
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: guys who have been around are doing the hard things,
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: and they're doing the hard things right all the time,
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: it makes it hard for the other guys to not
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: do those things. So it's contagious when they have that
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: type of work ethic, and then you what you love
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: to see is the love for the teammates. When those
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: guys are pulling a rookie aside to give them the
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: extra coaching points, or to give them a reminder, give
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: them a tip here and there. That that is so
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: special to see those guys the care that they have
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: because they've got so many other things to worry about.
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: If I'm Travis Etn, if I'm Robert Hainsey, if I'm
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: Trevor Lawrence, I've got my own billion problems that i
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: got to worry about. I'm sure I'm not feeling great.
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: You know, it's towards the end of the season. I'm tired.
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: But to go out of.
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: Their way to help those guys is it shows you
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: how they feel about each other, which is really special.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Great Lawrence hype the thirty seven year of Pastor Parker
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Washington with the interior pass rush. What kind of guts
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: did he's showing that play to sort of throw it
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and know what he's going to get decleted?
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exceptional, an exceptional play.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: It shows you his mindset, his toughness, his ability to
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: attack defenses and stand in there knowing the issue knowing
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: he's going to get hit, but trying to take that shot,
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: especially in that situation. I mean that play probably in
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: cap actually, it's who he is as a player, being selfless,
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: standing in there knowing you're going to get hit, delivering
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: in a crunch moment, critical play and to give another
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: guy a big play down the field, delivering and unbelievable throws.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: That's a play that I'll probably be showing quarterbacks and
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: players for years to come. That's a really phenomenal play
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: by him, Lawrence.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: As coaches, it's about trial and error and also timeline
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: task for you and Liam and Spencer this year, how
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: did you sort of build up that patience that hey,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: he is doing some good things, but there are a
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: lot of things still highron out.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: I don't know that I would necessarily even frame it
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: as patients because I think there's a commitment from the
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: top down, starting with Liam, to the staff, to the
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: quarterback room, to every player in there. There's a commitment
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: to our process, and there's an understanding when you're committed
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: to that process and you're not dictated by results that
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: whether it is a positive or negative result, you're sticking
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: with the process the next day regardless.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: So it's a.
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: Beautiful thing in the sense that you don't have to
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: be concerned about, Hey, we got to wait another week
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: to see if this works out.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: We got to wait another month. We're going to.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: Stick with that process now, we're going to try to
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: improve the process whenever possible. But we have a lot
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: of faith and belief in that process, and that really
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: starts with Liam and what he's built here in the
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: foundation and the attitude and the mindset that the guys
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: approach every day of work with. So it may sound
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: like a cop out answer, but it doesn't require that
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: feeling of patience and sitting around and that there's not
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: a lot of stress to say we need this at
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: a certain time, because we do have that mindset of
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: just going one to know today or want to know
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: in our process, whatever it may be. You're all judged
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: on the results.
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: So how do you balance that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: Well, you have the understanding that if our process is
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: right and we continue to work at that process, and
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: we continue to improve that process, then that will drive
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: the results. But if we focus on the results and
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: try to work our way backwards, we know that we're
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: going to get caught up somewhere else along the way.
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: Because if our goal is that we're going to go
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: out there and win twelve games, and we say that
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: in the offseason, we're going to win however many games,
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: win the division title. That's a great goal, but you're
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: not going to be able to do that on a
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: Tuesday in May.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: As much as you want to try, I tell you, guys, hey,
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: you guys want to win two games. You can try
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: to win two games this week, but it's going to
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: be really darn hard.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you're going to be able to
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: do it.
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: So whether you like it or not, the only thing
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: that you can control is this current moment. So we
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: talk about being what now, just focusing on the present
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: moment right here. So it's really not up to us
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: as much as we say. I certainly understand that it
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: is easy to focus on those things because that's what
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: everyone else is talking about. But when our mission is
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: to try to improve on that process and execute that process,
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: you really have no other choice. There is no choice
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: but to tack that process every day. So that's kind
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: of the mindset that the guys approach it with too.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Redzon turnovers, but you guys right to move on past that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: How important is it to have a short term memory
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: as like an offense overall in by game.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a huge point.
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: That's why we talk about being what now, because you
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: want to live in the past, you're going to die
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: in the presence. So if you continue to focus on
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: those things that happened, then then you're gonna let one
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: loss turn into two losses, right, Because the more attention
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: you spend on that you're sitting there ruminating about it,
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: the less opportunity you have to improve and focus on
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: what you need to do now.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: So we try to learn from all of those mistakes.
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: We make a mistake in the red one, we learn
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: as much as we can from it, and then we
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: move on from it because we got to be focused
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: on the next play. It takes a long time for
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: some guys to get used to that, right, because guys
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: are so used to getting beat up over a turnover
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: or a fumble or a miss block. But we don't
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: have that luxury. We got another series coming up. Our
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: defense is going to gets the ball back pretty quick,
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: and we got to go out there and be able
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: to execute.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: So players and coaches.
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: It takes not only all eleven, the entire offense be
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: bought in on that and say we got to focus
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: on what now with.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Sweat and Simmons as it do have, how much does.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: It kind of change you appro surreing the week when
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: you're to.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Prepare for a two really good into your guys as
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: supposed an age as one.
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, another really good question makes it an unbelievable challenge.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: The problem with those guys is you want to get
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: double teams on them, but you can't double team anybody everybody,
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: And then even if you do get double teams on him,
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: they're still beating double teams. So it makes an exceptional
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: challenge where you can always just try to attack that
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: by allocating more bodies to the problem. You got to
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: have creative ways to have different runs, different protection schemes,
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: different personnels, different formations, different ways to try to mitigate
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: all the disaster that they can kind of create.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: Over the course of the early season training camp, were
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: asking about Tarte's progress, the growth. If you were seeing
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: what you needed to see and he's playing some of
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: the best ball of.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: His career right now, was there a moment that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: You can think back to where you say.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: He's got it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: That's another great question.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: There's definitely little moments here and there where even all
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: the way back to the spring, there are times in
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: practice out there where you're throwing routes in seven on
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: seven where he throws a route where you see his
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: hands separating and he's starting to throw. He's made the
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: decision to make a throw, and if you were to
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: pause the picture, I can think of one and specif
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: down in the red zone we were throwing and there
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: was about five guys standing in front of the defender
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: the receiver that he's about to throw to. But he's
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: starting his arm and he's making that decision, ready to throw,
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: and of course as he lets that thing goes, those
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: defenders start to move with his eyes as he's pulling
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: the defender out of the way, and that thing opens
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: up and he's throwing it on time, and the offensive
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: receivers sitting there right on the goal line, and it
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: looks like the parting of the season. He's just sitting
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: there and gets an awesome completion. I mean, there's moments
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: like that, but there's one hundred of those moments over
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: the course of the spring training camp. We just don't
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: always get it to show up on Sunday. So when
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: it doesn't show up on Sunday, that's why you don't
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: lose that faith and confidence in the process because you
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: see it out on the practiceield. We're with each other
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: so much, you hear about it in the meeting room.
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: You understand the conversations that we have that there is
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: progress because of the way he's verbalizing what he's seeing,
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: how he's seeing things, how he's trying to make decisions.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: So that's one.
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, you have that play even on you know
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: the other day where he's throwing that high cross that
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: Ryan's talking about across the middle of the field. There
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: are still plays that he has even now you know,
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: it takes me a second to catch my breath because
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: of how exceptional they are.
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: So that that's really all him.
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: I would love to take credit and say that's part
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: of our process, but that's him being a phenomenal football
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: player and that's his work out there. You guys design
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: trick play, you run it in practice all week, it's fine,
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: it works great, and then in the game and it
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: doesn't work.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: How deflating is that?
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: And does that impact decisions on future trick plays if
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: I can, If that.
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: Makes sense, Yeah, that does. I think the deflating, I mean,
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: I try not to. I don't know that we'd say
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: it's deflating, but I think in the sense that you're
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: disappointed that you turn the ball over, right, because there
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: are certain plays where they don't go your way, but
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: you got another chance at second and ten, you got
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: another chance at third and third and ten, or third
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: and five, whatever it may be.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: I think giving the ball away anytime you give it the.
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: Ball away, whether it's a trick play or whether it's
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: just a regular run or a pass on an interception,
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: those are the things that you look back on the
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: end of the year that they always wish every one
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: of those play calls, every single one of those plays,
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: the execution that you want those back. I don't think
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: that having a trick play that doesn't work, goes wrong
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: necessarily is deflating, because I think the guys understand we're
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: calling those plays because we believe in them.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: We believe that they can go out there and execute
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: those plays.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: Those cause a little extra ball handling, They take a
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: little bit of extra element of skill or execution out there,
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: a little higher level of difficulty, but those are fun
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: for those guys to practice, their fun for us to
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: put in, and they're fun to see those things when
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: they do come to life. We understand they're not all
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: going to come to life, but it's the same thing
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: with any other play. We got run plays and pass
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: plays that don't always work to so we got to
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: accept the risk when we're trying to get that type
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: of reward.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Hell guys, Thank you guys.
