  Speaker 1: Sorry, guys. Didn't mean to keep you guys waiting.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want to point fingers or anything, but it
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: was Jeff's fault, if you want to.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: When Clint was here last year, did you guys get
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: the sense he was a guy who could be a
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: future head coach someday?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if you, that's like,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know, that's not how you sit here and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: see things. You're just in the moment, but certainly in
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: terms of You see a lot of the characteristics by
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: looking back on it. You certainly see, like, man, there's
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff here that, you know, plays into
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of the things, fundamental things you're looking for
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: in terms of a person leading an organization. And so, yeah,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: it's cool to see him out there. I mean, I
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: always said the only thing would be, like, the energy, but, man,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: he seems to have plenty of that energy over there now.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Never showed that over here, but it's good to see
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: that he's letting loose a little bit.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So he was still flat as he looked to the outside.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: He wasn't.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Flat flat's a bad word but it was like uh
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: he was definitely not jumping up and doing the splits
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: or anything like he's doing now you're talking.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: About coming off the field high-fiving.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: The yeah yeah there's some pictures of him that would
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: like there's no chance that's clint but fair enough it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Is so i think you mentioned last year there was
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: a point where you kind of knew where clint was
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: in his day by like where his hat was on
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: his head uh have you figured out a similar tell
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: with brian flurry.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: No brian's pretty consistent he's pretty uh Pretty consistent with his, hey,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: where is it? He wears it right here, really low.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: He's pretty consistent with it. Haven't figured it out yet.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Why do you think Clint was so successful here and
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: got that chance in Vegas so quickly?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's the guy that he is.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I think the ball knowledge is obviously a paramount thing.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: The character that he just goes about his day-to-day life with.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: The work ethic.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Like I said, a lot of the foundational traits that
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: you'd look for in terms of a person you want
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: leading an organization, he lives all that stuff out. And
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: so you get a chance to sit down and really
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: talk with Clint. You have to love the guy. And
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: so I think that's probably where it started.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: When you get to know a coach... how much of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the respect that you earn or that they earn is
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: based off of their ball knowledge and the positions that
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you they put you and the offense into how much
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: is how much of it's based off of them as
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: a person and as a leader.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's probably i mean it's a little bit of
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: both you know i mean um you know i think
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: there's like just like in any anywhere like it's any
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: anytime you're working with someone like you can respect the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: person and then be like, you know, I really love
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: being with this person. I love the person that they
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: are and the energy that they bring into things, but
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: maybe there's not good at their job.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And like, that's, that's fine.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You know, that's, but you know, there's a, there's, you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: they're on different spheres. And so, you know, I think that's,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that's where, you know, Clint, like you, you love the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: person and you love who he is as a ball coach.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: When it comes to this offense, third down conversions were better.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: this last week against arizona but there's still opportunity to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: be more efficient on first and second downs what's missing
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: there or what's the key factor.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah um yeah and there's there's definitely uh there's definitely
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: room to grow without a doubt i mean i think
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: one of the things that we did do well is
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we we eliminated a lot of those negative plays um
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: but there is just a an onus on being able
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to you know fall forward and we we did it
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it's it's the same story so like man, we've shown
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: we can do it, but the consistency at which we're
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: doing that, can we fall forward and be in, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: can we be in second and six versus being in
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: second and nine? You know, there's some of those things
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: where it's like, man, the runs, I think, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Zach was on, you know, Sharps did a great job
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: on a few plays where, you know, they did a
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: good job defensively of stuffing up the run, but he
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: just found a way to fall forward. Like, man, shoot,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it didn't look good, but it's second and six, you know?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And so it doesn't have to look pretty necessarily, but
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: there's just a– You know, everyone has that understanding. There's
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: an effort that's required to be able to make sure
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that you're finding ways to sometimes maximum effort gets you
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: four yards, and that's what it needs.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Anything else? Oh, thank you. I'm sure I'll play more often.
