Mike Macdonald: "We Have A Great Opportunity On Thursday Night" · Seahawks Press Pass

0:01
Speaker 1: All right, we got everybody okay, Yeah, it's a little
0:13
Speaker 1: weird right now because we're on the short week and
0:15
Speaker 1: then having the U after the not much news, after
0:19
Speaker 1: the press conference from from after the game, after watching
0:21
Speaker 1: the tape, it's it's what we said.
0:25
Speaker 2: It just wasn't wasn't good enough to win the game
0:27
Speaker 2: in all three phases. And as a team, we got
0:29
Speaker 2: to take it on the channe and we got to
0:30
Speaker 2: move forward and and uh look to make the improvements
0:34
Speaker 2: we need to make to go win. So it's pretty
0:36
Speaker 2: much that simple. And we got a great opportunity on
0:39
Speaker 2: Thursday night to make it right with a great team
0:41
Speaker 2: coming in here division rivals, so it should be a
0:44
Speaker 2: should be a great game.
0:46
Speaker 3: Because of the short week and everything going on. Does
0:48
Speaker 3: that force you to change anything about the way you
0:51
Speaker 3: install or force you to simplify anything because there's fewer days.
0:55
Speaker 2: Well, I think that the tape is also dictating that
0:57
Speaker 2: we install, that we we tighten things up. So now
1:01
Speaker 2: we have an extreme short week that that will help
1:05
Speaker 2: that you know, process as well. So we've had to
1:08
Speaker 2: make some fast decisions already early now in game plan
1:11
Speaker 2: is already in and here we go. It's like a
1:14
Speaker 2: Wednesday right now.
1:16
Speaker 4: You talked about issues and coverage, run, defense, tackling. When
1:20
Speaker 4: you've got multiple issues, how do you prioritize.
1:24
Speaker 2: One thing at a time. Yeah, you just it's on
1:26
Speaker 2: a per play basis, per person basis, per conversation, one
1:30
Speaker 2: rep at a time, and then you can start to
1:32
Speaker 2: group some things based off of families and defenses that
1:35
Speaker 2: we're in, types of plays. We're seeing things like that.
1:39
Speaker 2: But you can't make it too more than it is,
1:41
Speaker 2: and you can't and you can't belittle it as well.
1:43
Speaker 2: So there's a balance there and you have to move
1:46
Speaker 2: forward to so you gotta get ready for this game
1:48
Speaker 2: as well.
1:49
Speaker 4: After you're looking at the fild.
1:50
Speaker 5: You have any different view that watched uticle what happened
1:52
Speaker 5: there at all?
1:55
Speaker 2: It's a technique issue on our end. That's we need
1:59
Speaker 2: to execute our technique better.
2:03
Speaker 4: Coaching, you know, Kyle and another. Variations of the offense
2:06
Speaker 4: of there, But what about passes has a.
2:08
Speaker 2: Challenge in creating times well continues to evolve, so you're
2:11
Speaker 2: you know, you can't just play the plays that you've seen.
2:15
Speaker 2: And they do a great job of utilizing their personnel.
2:19
Speaker 2: The quarterback operates really quickly he's been he's extending play
2:22
Speaker 2: a little bit more this year. But it's a physical unit,
2:25
Speaker 2: it's a precise unit, and they do a great job.
2:30
Speaker 4: How much of the lack of run plays are changes
2:34
Speaker 4: at the Linus scrimmage and how much of those predetermined play.
2:37
Speaker 2: Calls, I don't really want to answer you, like to
2:44
Speaker 2: the to the to the letter of the law here,
2:48
Speaker 2: there is some getting in and out of runs, but
2:51
Speaker 2: to the extent of how much we're doing it, just
2:53
Speaker 2: kind of leave that lead that in the house. But
2:58
Speaker 2: it's also we all know when you need to run
3:00
Speaker 2: the ball more. I mean, everybody knows that our opponents
3:03
Speaker 2: know that our players are our locker rooms, that grub
3:06
Speaker 2: knows that our coaches do I do. We have to
3:09
Speaker 2: create more situations where we can run it as well,
3:12
Speaker 2: and that's a team stat as well. So that's all
3:14
Speaker 2: three phases where we have to create those.
3:17
Speaker 3: When it comes to defense, I think some of the
3:18
Speaker 3: players have said similar things after the last two gigs,
3:21
Speaker 3: whether you're not being on details or not having that communication. Now,
3:24
Speaker 3: then what similarities do you see in the last two
3:27
Speaker 3: weeks in that work.
3:31
Speaker 2: Well, there's plays that we need to make that we're
3:33
Speaker 2: not making and how do you fix that? I think
3:37
Speaker 2: you just got to keep chasing it and keep working
3:40
Speaker 2: and keep putting yourself in positions in practice, communicating and
3:44
Speaker 2: walk through and take advantage of all these reps that
3:46
Speaker 2: we get throughout the week and maximize these reps. There's
3:50
Speaker 2: no other way to do it. You can't just throw
3:53
Speaker 2: the guys out there and put them in the same
3:54
Speaker 2: situation without having practiced it and expect them to do
3:58
Speaker 2: anything different. You know, that's going on the definition of
4:01
Speaker 2: insanity there. So we're going to continue to look at
4:04
Speaker 2: our process and keep trying and keep refining those and
4:08
Speaker 2: making it better, and the players are going to be
4:10
Speaker 2: bought in on as well, and off we go. Is
4:14
Speaker 2: he going to get fixed in the next play and
4:16
Speaker 2: do eternity? Probably not, But the mentality of chasing it
4:20
Speaker 2: and the expectation of the standard of how we want
4:22
Speaker 2: to play on defense, which you've seen glimpses of of
4:25
Speaker 2: how well we can play on defense this year in
4:27
Speaker 2: the last two games, we've definitely fallen short of that.
4:30
Speaker 2: And so it's not time to you know, it's just
4:32
Speaker 2: time to go back to work, is really what it is.
4:35
Speaker 2: So we are, you know, build ourselves. You are what
4:39
Speaker 2: your record says you are. We're three and two. We're
4:41
Speaker 2: not as good as we need to be, but we're
4:46
Speaker 2: three and two. So here we go.
4:49
Speaker 5: On the radio, you mentioned.
4:50
Speaker 3: Chinna's injury maybe be out longer than you wanted, or
4:53
Speaker 3: maybe longer than you want.
4:54
Speaker 2: It was that in the context of not getting it
4:55
Speaker 2: back Thursday or perhaps longer than Yeah, we won't get
4:58
Speaker 2: them back Thursday, and then we'll see here in the
5:00
Speaker 2: next few days. If it's going to be longer than that.
5:03
Speaker 2: What about any petyborn Riek or dark call Uhrieque has
5:09
Speaker 2: an ankle and I think I'll have some news for
5:12
Speaker 2: you probably by the you know, by the time we play,
5:14
Speaker 2: will become a little a little more clear. I'm not
5:15
Speaker 2: sure right now, uh d Hall trending. It's kind of
5:19
Speaker 2: the same same area with his uh with his foot way.
5:24
Speaker 4: Is he close to get back?
5:26
Speaker 2: Boy? We're boy. He wants to play. He's he's working
5:29
Speaker 2: his tail off. It's just a matter of if we
5:31
Speaker 2: can pull the trigger and out at this point, if
5:33
Speaker 2: it's safe for him to go and and he feels right,
5:36
Speaker 2: so we'll see. It's gonna come down to the wire
5:38
Speaker 2: right now, boy, how did Leonard make it out of
5:40
Speaker 2: the game is to my knowledge that Leonard is uh
5:43
Speaker 2: is good.
5:44
Speaker 4: They always have some very good players on their defensive front.
5:47
Speaker 4: How much of would I guess the same of the
5:48
Speaker 4: sacks and things like that work with hadd.
5:50
Speaker 2: This is what the guys doing there? Well, well both, Yeah,
5:54
Speaker 2: they had some really good rushes where you know, you
5:57
Speaker 2: can compartmentalize sacks all day. Anytime you drop back the
6:00
Speaker 2: amount of times we did, you're gonna, you know, the
6:03
Speaker 2: quarterbacks unfortate. That's why we can't be doing it all
6:05
Speaker 2: as much as we are. But they have great players,
6:09
Speaker 2: they got a good scheme, they had a good plan,
6:12
Speaker 2: and uh, some of those sacks came at the end
6:14
Speaker 2: of the game where we're trying to push the ball
6:15
Speaker 2: down the field, and uh, you have to take those
6:19
Speaker 2: those risks in that point, which you know, we need to.
6:21
Speaker 2: We need to try our best to stay out of
6:22
Speaker 2: those situations and so we could be dictating terms to
6:25
Speaker 2: defenses and instead of it the other way around.
6:27
Speaker 4: At the end of games, coach Gino said that they
6:30
Speaker 4: fought harder, they wanted it more. Leonda Williams said that
6:32
Speaker 4: it felt like we underestimated them.
6:34
Speaker 2: A little bit.
6:35
Speaker 4: You've talked to actually those problems. Did you see a
6:37
Speaker 4: mindset issue with the team? What do you what do
6:40
Speaker 4: you do about that?
6:40
Speaker 2: If so, I haven't talked to those guys about about
6:44
Speaker 2: those comments. Uh, I wouldn't go that far, honestly, like
6:51
Speaker 2: to think that they're you know, you're emotional after the game.
6:54
Speaker 2: So I don't want to put words in their mouth
6:56
Speaker 2: or anything like that. But our guys had a good
6:58
Speaker 2: week of practice and we lost the game, and we
7:02
Speaker 2: and we didn't do we're supposed to do. So you know,
7:05
Speaker 2: people can attribute things to you know, to to why.
7:07
Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is that on tape it's
7:10
Speaker 2: not happening. So we've got to have these conversations here
7:12
Speaker 2: and again you can't if there's a balance. Now, I mean,
7:16
Speaker 2: we're moving. The game is on Thursday. We gotta we
7:18
Speaker 2: got a rock and roll.
7:20
Speaker 1: What'd you learn from last week?
7:21
Speaker 5: Short week or maybe you're weekend and.
7:23
Speaker 1: Changing for now?
7:26
Speaker 2: Well, we've had this Thursday plan uh in for a while,
7:30
Speaker 2: and then we made some tweaks based off of where
7:33
Speaker 2: our guys at like health wise, and just some feedback
7:35
Speaker 2: from from the guys. But it's a little different just
7:38
Speaker 2: because the amount of time, the time of days, so
7:41
Speaker 2: we'll be walking through the vast majority of the time,
7:44
Speaker 2: and then I think they'll there's an opportunity for us
7:46
Speaker 2: to get some full speed reps before the game on Thursday.
7:49
Speaker 5: Supposed this warning about the specifics what you're looking for
7:52
Speaker 5: defending Urban as far as lemage of the football, setting
7:54
Speaker 5: the manage, setting up the edge, and aspect with all
7:56
Speaker 5: the guys being an out line up for the last
7:58
Speaker 5: few weeks, what have you seen from that perspective with
8:00
Speaker 5: the winning your guys are executing in terms of a
8:03
Speaker 5: lower's running next.
8:04
Speaker 2: To the person I guess they need at some times.
8:09
Speaker 2: Well I can't, I can't quote you the rush stats,
8:12
Speaker 2: but we're not we're not stopping the run the way
8:15
Speaker 2: we need to be in certain coverages that we're asking
8:17
Speaker 2: to do. And uh yeah, that's on the edge guys,
8:21
Speaker 2: but it's on the interior guys, it's on second level players.
8:23
Speaker 2: It's all eleven guys. So if you get if the
8:25
Speaker 2: ball scorts out and you force the ball, but your
8:28
Speaker 2: secondary contained player isn't where he's supposed to be, which
8:30
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that happened in every situation. It's just
8:32
Speaker 2: it could be a corner and the ball gets out.
8:34
Speaker 2: So to attribute it to just just the edge players,
8:37
Speaker 2: I think is unfair to those guys. There's plenty for
8:40
Speaker 2: them to work on as well. But your run stat,
8:43
Speaker 2: it's a team stat. You know, it's it's all eleven guys.
8:46
Speaker 2: How it works together.
8:47
Speaker 4: You're the playoff one of the gas long run where
8:50
Speaker 4: Jasis you make.
8:52
Speaker 2: Balls come and take the TV easy with them. Is
8:54
Speaker 2: that is that some of you guys coach up or
8:55
Speaker 2: is actually get instincts of the players that to recognize
8:58
Speaker 2: that both it's great play by jay us In and
9:01
Speaker 2: understanding of what covers they're in and like where their
9:03
Speaker 2: eyes should be, things like that. So that was a
9:06
Speaker 2: bright spot in the game.
9:08
Speaker 4: You anticipate anymore pup windows opening this week and any
9:11
Speaker 4: news on Buyer Murphy.
9:14
Speaker 2: Right now, I do not on the pup pup front Byron,
9:21
Speaker 2: We're still not sure on the timetable. Looks like it
9:23
Speaker 2: might take one more week.
9:25
Speaker 3: He and my Bridge had some significant snaps in there.
9:28
Speaker 3: He had that nice third down to stop. What did
9:30
Speaker 3: you see from him throughout the.
9:31
Speaker 2: Game and getting this chance, Well, it's kind of it's
9:33
Speaker 2: kind of like Tyrese Knight. You know you're not allowed
9:36
Speaker 2: to be rookie anymore now that your number, your numbers
9:38
Speaker 2: being called, So go out there and execute the way
9:41
Speaker 2: you're supposed to. And it was good to see them
9:44
Speaker 2: kind of make it right on some of the plays
9:46
Speaker 2: that he had an opportunity or in the game. And
9:47
Speaker 2: then you know, a big third down stop in the
9:49
Speaker 2: red zone it's a four point play kept us in
9:51
Speaker 2: the game. And then the four minute third down on
9:53
Speaker 2: the slant stand square. I understand the situation not overplaying
9:57
Speaker 2: and being able to make a play on that play.
9:59
Speaker 2: So uh, doing the things that we expect them to
10:03
Speaker 2: do when we drafted them, but seemed excited to see
10:06
Speaker 2: them to have some poise and some physicality at the
10:08
Speaker 2: point of attack was really good.
10:11
Speaker 4: Did the right guard rotation kind of go the way
10:13
Speaker 4: you expected it too?
10:14
Speaker 2: Or you accept that physically? Yes, yes, and yes.
10:21
Speaker 4: Before the players there's an intention iem to try to
10:23
Speaker 4: start fast in offense, and it looks like that hasn't happened.
10:27
Speaker 2: Is that you have a team or how do you
10:30
Speaker 2: get the teams?
10:31
Speaker 5: What are the favorables in the team you get to.
10:36
Speaker 2: If I knew the exact things that like the button
10:38
Speaker 2: to push. Then we would be starting fast every time
10:41
Speaker 2: we go out there, we'd be scoring touchdowns and the
10:44
Speaker 2: defense would never stop us. I mean, it's just it's
10:46
Speaker 2: like you can make an emphasis on it. The guys
10:49
Speaker 2: are bought in, they're trying there, they're trying their tails off.
10:52
Speaker 2: I think we have you know, we can look back
10:54
Speaker 2: at our initial plans on offense, on the things that
10:56
Speaker 2: we're trying to do initially, and if evaluate it and
11:00
Speaker 2: just keep moving Forward's kind of like the rest of
11:02
Speaker 2: the team. It's just, hey, we've had some really good
11:04
Speaker 2: starts we've had the last couple haven't been so hot. Uh,
11:07
Speaker 2: let's go make it right. Let's move forward, man. But
11:10
Speaker 2: if there is a magic start fast button, man, we
11:12
Speaker 2: would be pressing the crap out of that button.
11:16
Speaker 5: We're gonna look back at the what'd you think of
11:18
Speaker 5: the way trade.
11:19
Speaker 2: B Trey Brown. Well, there's some plays that he gave
11:24
Speaker 2: up that you want to you'd love to have back,
11:26
Speaker 2: and some certain couple of techniques that I think he
11:31
Speaker 2: might have overreacted in that certain and that certain you
11:34
Speaker 2: know instances or whatever. But Trey's a good football player
11:37
Speaker 2: and he's got a lot of good tape on film,
11:40
Speaker 2: and uh, we trust him. We believe in them, and shoot,
11:43
Speaker 2: he's in he's in the building to day, going at
11:45
Speaker 2: it and going to work, and he's in a good headspace.
11:48
Speaker 2: So we're gonna we're gonna keep trusting trade and keep
11:50
Speaker 2: putting them in positions to go make plays.
11:52
Speaker 4: That position in particular, just how far parts of the
11:54
Speaker 4: mind set it's pretty exposed out here and getting these players.
11:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, we ask a lot of our corners and they're
12:00
Speaker 2: great players. And uh, you know, if you put a
12:05
Speaker 2: bunch of guys in the middle of the field, they're
12:06
Speaker 2: gonna go outside. And when that happens, let's come to life.
12:09
Speaker 2: That's an opportunity for us to make plays on the ball. So,
12:12
Speaker 2: but you're right, they have to have a you know,
12:13
Speaker 2: it's a short term memory. That's kind of an old
12:15
Speaker 2: old adage, but it rings true in this case for sure.
12:18
Speaker 5: Big picture, Mike, just whatever you thought of the way
12:20
Speaker 5: Gino is playing through five games.
12:23
Speaker 2: I thought, I mean, you know, Gino is a big
12:25
Speaker 2: bright spot on our football team right now. He's galvanizing,
12:29
Speaker 2: galvanizing force. The guy's compete in his tail off, Uh,
12:34
Speaker 2: doing a lot of great things, doing a lot of
12:36
Speaker 2: great things, So let's keep it going. I mean, we're
12:40
Speaker 2: five games in. It's uh, we got a long way
12:44
Speaker 2: to go. But the good news is we gotta, we gotta.
12:46
Speaker 2: We had another game here to make it right and
12:48
Speaker 2: have g you know, take a next step in his game,
12:50
Speaker 2: and we expect him to do so. So we're gonna
12:52
Speaker 2: we're gonna be leaning on them.
12:54
Speaker 3: Do you evaluate the season in like quarters, like after
12:57
Speaker 3: four or five games or happen?
12:58
Speaker 2: Do you know how you will evaluate.
13:00
Speaker 3: Parts of the season?
13:01
Speaker 2: Cast, Well, we've made it a little bit of a
13:04
Speaker 2: parallel to how we want to win games by like
13:05
Speaker 2: starting fast and then stepping on the gas things like that.
13:08
Speaker 2: And you know, since I moved to seventeen games, makes
13:11
Speaker 2: it makes it in an uneven number. So are we
13:14
Speaker 2: in the first quarter now? We finished the second quarter?
13:17
Speaker 2: Not really sure, not really sure the math, Yeah, well played,
13:23
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean we're Look, we're in the second
13:24
Speaker 2: quarter of the season. We know that for sure right now,
13:27
Speaker 2: and it's time to move. It's time to go forward.
13:31
Speaker 2: So first, you know, first quarter of the season three
13:33
Speaker 2: and one, you'd be thinking overall, like, hey, we're in
13:38
Speaker 2: a good spot three and two, not not as good,
13:40
Speaker 2: so we're never going to be satisfied. We could be
13:43
Speaker 2: five and zer right now and I'd be telling you
13:44
Speaker 2: guys the same thing of all, just like we were
13:47
Speaker 2: when we're three and Oh it's the same message, it
13:49
Speaker 2: really is. It's just it's we're early, we're growing, we're
13:54
Speaker 2: not there yet, and we want to get there. We
13:57
Speaker 2: want to get there really bad, and we're going to
13:59
Speaker 2: work really hard to make it happen. What is your
14:00
Speaker 2: communication like with rub in terms of like game trip stuff,
14:03
Speaker 2: but pro more pass more be football tempo. We're we're
14:07
Speaker 2: in constant communication and we both know the game plans
14:13
Speaker 2: and we're on the same page and we both know
14:17
Speaker 2: that we got establish the run more is probably where
14:19
Speaker 2: your question's going, and so both of us can be
14:21
Speaker 2: better on that front. And again it's a team thing
14:24
Speaker 2: as well. We got to we got to put ourselves
14:25
Speaker 2: in position to dictate terms more offensively in the tempos.
14:31
Speaker 5: Block black fild goal maybe not outstanding.
14:33
Speaker 2: How do you put about the special teams as a
14:35
Speaker 2: unit in ST? Five? Yeah, they asked me that this morning,
14:39
Speaker 2: and I think it's it's one of the three phases
14:41
Speaker 2: of our football team. So there's a lot of great
14:43
Speaker 2: things on tape to put us in the position to be,
14:46
Speaker 2: you know, fighting a division rival for first place in
14:49
Speaker 2: the division six weeks in, and there's some things where
14:52
Speaker 2: you know, you don't want to get a field goal
14:54
Speaker 2: block to get the you know, for an opportunity to
14:57
Speaker 2: send the game into overtime or at least have an
14:58
Speaker 2: opportunity to get it to overtime too. So you know,
15:01
Speaker 2: Jay puts it in a great spot, like you get
15:03
Speaker 2: one chance when when the kicking team's out there on
15:05
Speaker 2: fourth down or on on kickoff kickoff return, that that
15:09
Speaker 2: that's your play, that's your drive. There's a lot riding
15:12
Speaker 2: on that play, on each individual's responsibility. So our our
15:15
Speaker 2: attention to detail has to be super late and we
15:17
Speaker 2: have to be lasered in on an operation and execute
15:20
Speaker 2: our job. And when we do that, there's a lot
15:22
Speaker 2: of good stuff on tape, and when we don't, it's
15:24
Speaker 2: very obvious.
15:26
Speaker 4: What are some of the big challenges that going against you?
15:29
Speaker 2: The hand offense, Well, there's a lot. Uh where do
15:39
Speaker 2: I start, Greg, I don't know. I mean, they look
15:42
Speaker 2: they they've been they've been working on this scheme and
15:45
Speaker 2: it's been evolving for a long time, you know, thirty years.
15:50
Speaker 2: So we've been in Baltimore, we've gone against Coyle when
15:55
Speaker 2: he's in Cleveland, and then since he's been in San Francisco.
15:58
Speaker 2: So we're both familiar with each other's schemes and it's
16:02
Speaker 2: almost like it's a division opponent, you know, to a
16:04
Speaker 2: certain degree up to this point now that it is.
16:07
Speaker 2: And they do a great job. Same looks present you know,
16:11
Speaker 2: runs and passes out of the same looks. The quarterback
16:15
Speaker 2: is able to play really fast in that system. The
16:19
Speaker 2: run games, the run game is complimentary, and they do
16:23
Speaker 2: a great job. They know what they're doing, they target,
16:24
Speaker 2: they target stuff right. And so I mean this game
16:27
Speaker 2: is a is a sixty minute battle of who's going
16:30
Speaker 2: to outplay who for the length of the game. And
16:32
Speaker 2: it's always been that way for whoever they play. And
16:36
Speaker 2: we got a great challenge ahead of us.
16:38
Speaker 1: You with the Ravens succeeded in Christmas against them.
16:41
Speaker 5: What did you succeed at fast? Why did you win
16:43
Speaker 5: that game?
16:45
Speaker 2: Well, we took the ball away and took opportunity, you know,
16:48
Speaker 2: made made the plays when they came to us. In
16:50
Speaker 2: that fact, but those guys played extremely hard that game.
16:53
Speaker 2: They played together for the whole game, and the score
16:57
Speaker 2: doesn't dictate it. But it did come back down to
16:59
Speaker 2: like the last drive. It's the same, it's the same story.
17:01
Speaker 2: It comes down to the last drive. Uh. Fortunately we're
17:04
Speaker 2: able to make a play there at the end. And uh,
17:08
Speaker 2: anytime that you're plus in the in the takeaway margin,
17:11
Speaker 2: it's going to put you in a great position to
17:13
Speaker 2: you know, to win games. And that's something here that
17:15
Speaker 2: we that we need to you know, we need to
17:17
Speaker 2: do a better job of. In Seattle always been build
17:20
Speaker 2: around ever a game.
17:22
Speaker 5: But it told like they can put the water boy.
17:23
Speaker 2: In a running back a five thousand yards back. Yet
17:26
Speaker 2: I could up to playing with years earl.
17:28
Speaker 3: But how have you seen that system?
17:29
Speaker 2: So eventually the evolution, how do you see it evolve over?
17:32
Speaker 2: Tied with Tyler, Well, I think that would take away
17:34
Speaker 2: from the guys that were running the ball, and uh,
17:39
Speaker 2: those guys run the ball hard. They do a great job.
17:41
Speaker 2: So I don't want to take away from I mean,
17:44
Speaker 2: you go back to all the way to all those guys.
17:47
Speaker 2: You know, I could just rattle them off, but again,
17:51
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's they do a great job. We
17:54
Speaker 2: go up here and I could give you the whole
17:56
Speaker 2: laundry list of stuff. We can turn the tape on
17:57
Speaker 2: and talk it through, but uh, fact matter is, it's
18:01
Speaker 2: it's the same. It's it's NFL run schemes that we've
18:04
Speaker 2: seen and we've had success against, and we and some
18:07
Speaker 2: schemes that we've had a hard time with up to
18:09
Speaker 2: this point, and so we got to make those right
18:12
Speaker 2: and we got to go out. We gotta go play ball.
18:15
Speaker 2: You know, we just got to go fight our tails
18:16
Speaker 2: off and be on the same page and get eleven
18:19
Speaker 2: hats to the football for for as many plays as
18:22
Speaker 2: it takes and and try to come out with a win.
18:24
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just that's just the name of the game.
18:26
Speaker 2: That's the NFL for you. That's when you go up
18:27
Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers, and uh, that's what our
18:31
Speaker 2: guys know that we're in for that and then we're
18:33
Speaker 2: up for the challenge.
18:34
Speaker 4: Coach, uh for real adversity like of the season. Obviously,
18:38
Speaker 4: people take cues from the head coach in that situation.
18:41
Speaker 4: How are you wanting to show up for the team.
18:42
Speaker 4: What's the message that you want them.
18:44
Speaker 2: To walk away with. Yeah, we're look, we're gonna be
18:47
Speaker 2: I mean we're we're gonna be positive, but we're also
18:49
Speaker 2: going to tell each other the truth. It's just the
18:51
Speaker 2: film doesn't lie on what it is. And you know,
18:55
Speaker 2: just look, we're three and two. We've done the We've
18:57
Speaker 2: done good enough stuff to win three games out of five.
19:02
Speaker 2: You are what your record says. We've also lost two
19:04
Speaker 2: games and just so happened to be the last two,
19:07
Speaker 2: So we haven't done enough to win those two games
19:10
Speaker 2: as well. And when you break down each game, it's
19:12
Speaker 2: very clear on why we won or lost those games.
19:15
Speaker 2: So let's attack those things that we're not doing well.
19:18
Speaker 2: Let's try to enhance the things that we are when
19:19
Speaker 2: we're able to take advantage of those opportunities, and let's
19:23
Speaker 2: go to work. It's still really early. Look, you'll learn
19:27
Speaker 2: about our football team is like the only thing that
19:29
Speaker 2: we want to know be able to the only thing
19:31
Speaker 2: that we want to know how to do is go
19:32
Speaker 2: back to work and do it better. And just let's
19:35
Speaker 2: rock and roll to have each other's backs, keep each
19:38
Speaker 2: other accountable, tell each other the truth, and move forward.
19:41
Speaker 2: And that's the only thing you can do in these situations.
19:44
Speaker 2: It's the only thing I know how to do. So
19:45
Speaker 2: that's what we're going to do. Thank you all right,
19:48
Speaker 2: Thanks guys,
