  Speaker 1: later today after practice.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: You see, got him back this week. I've seen last week.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: A little unusual because of you know, the up in

  Speaker 2: the year status of Trevor or whatever.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: This week, you know, probably hit his first game out
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: of the way type of thing. Yeah, so.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Ye, same same Mac. I mean a lot of confidence.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: You know, he really embraced uh this week, this challenge.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Uh what he what he's gonna face, you know, Sunday
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: continues to to lead the the the guys, to lead
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the offense. He had a good day yesterday, really last
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: two days, you know, I obviously yeah, I'm sure you know.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I think I talked to you guys wednesday, but I'm
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: sure you know he he wants to rebound obviously from
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the end of the game last week, you know, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and and put a put his best foot forward. But again,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: he's got a ton of confidence. We got a ton
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of confidence in him. Guys around him. Do he's had
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a good week, a.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Better feel for what he's comfortable with him, what he
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: can do and do well after you know, seeing him
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: in the game action or it's not last thing, sure
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: is your first priority this this weekend? This uh, staying
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: turnover free because these guys give a lot of takeaways
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: and which obviously adds to their point to them as well.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're you know, obviously very opportunistic when it comes
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to the the takeaways, and they got an explosive offense.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So those two it's a dangerous combinations. So yeah, we've
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: got to make sure that we can't you know, uh
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and don't turn the ball over. And then we've got
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to try to create you know, obviously some takeaways if
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you can it just it just helps and and uh,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it's just one more possession that they don't have and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and we get. So that's a that's got to be
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you know, a point of emphasis a little bit this week, a.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Couple of guys that they've seen some of the locker
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: room buying and more over the past couple of weeks.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: When you see in the same thing, did they say
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: specifically what they bought into? U that they they were
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: already bought in, but they're kind of leaning in more
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to what what you guys are preaching and what you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: want to do out of the practice field going to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: game field.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I I've seen it all season, you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and I think, y I it it. It comes with
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: playing together, coaching together, working together. Obviously going through this
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: this is a tough stretch you know that we've been
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: through s beginning you know, last season to to now.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a but again, this this group hangs together,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: they hang tough confidence in each other, and that's really
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: what it takes in order to get yourself out of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: these you know situations.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: You bet in enough locker room just a player and
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: coach now to kind of get a vibe to these things. Well,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: what is it that allows you, you think, a team
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to stay connected, s still grind when they're getting no
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: results on that they want on a neat to these bases.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You know that that's a that's a tough thing in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in in the in the kind of the sports world
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: today in general, across all you know, uh, sporting events
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and sporting teams, I mean teams that go through you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: slumps or defeats and things like that. It's sometimes it
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is hard. It's hard. You know, they feel defeated, right
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: whatever team they're on, they feel defeated. And I've been
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: on as a player, I've been on teams where it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: has if it once it goes sour, it just continues
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to go that way and it's like, okay, let's let's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: just get ready for the offseason. You know, But I'll
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: tell you what this team. You don't see that with
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: this team, And I think it's a credit to to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the leadership of this group. They're pulling even they're pulling
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the young guys along, and you're seeing, you know, better practices,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: better performances, you know, studying their game plan. You're seeing
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff still today, which is a credit.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It's just a big time credit to the guys in
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the locker room. And and it's what you got. It's it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You have to have that right in order to pull
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: yourself out of this. You have to have that type
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of leadership in in in close, you know, a close group. Uh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: even when you're not getting the results you you want.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: You think of that has to do you. You basically
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: got a veteran that every position, little grouping from special
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: teams to to line to the mind backer. You've got
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a veteran almost everywhere. Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That and I lean on you know that leadership council
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I I visit with on Wednesdays, I think, visiting with
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: those guys, giving them a message and then they go
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and spread it to the team and they're just to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: your point, to their to their rooms.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Is big. I know you said it earlier in the.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Week, Press said it, Max said it. The emphasis of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: getting Brian more involved Is.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: That something that the game just has to dictate or
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is it something that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You can try to find ways to get him into
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: rhythm earlier in the game.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: No, I think I think it's both. It's both, but
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I think early it's better than late. Right. If it's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: not happening, it's just like you can't force it. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it's it's got to be earlier in the game and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: something you got to you gotta consciously each each week,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you know, just say, hey, we've got to try to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: get the ball to BT to Evan whoever those are
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: going to be, you know, and then you know, but yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it is harder once the game starts and you're not
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You can't just force it, right, It's it's harder that way.
