  Speaker 1: Welcome aboard to see Yukon Football Coaches show Mike, Chris Pino,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Jim Moore. We get together on Tuesdays recap what's happened
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: over the last weekend, but something different coach this week.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Nothing happened as far as games for Yukon to play.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: You get the bye week one of two, and I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: know football fans of Yukon, you know, want to know
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: what's going on that week. How do you handle it?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: How do you keep guys sharp? How important is resting
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: players when you get to this point in the season.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's trying to find the right formula
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: of work to stay sharp and you know, give them
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a chance to rest and heal up. So what we
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: did is we worked three days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Some
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of the older guys that have you know, had a
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: lot of snaps that maybe beat up a little bit,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: you know, guys like Jilani and Dal and Val and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Chase and you know, some of those guys, you give
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: them a little rest, but you work, you know, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: our guys they like to work hard and they have
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: really good practice. We cut out our afternoon meetings, give
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: them a little bit more time to concentrate on school
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: or you know, catch up on some of the other
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: things that they need to do that kind of fall
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: behind a little bit during the season. So every year
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit different. This year, I thought it
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: was really productive. I think that by came at a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: really good time for us, and we need to you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: get some guys healthy and you know see where some
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: other guys were in terms of their healing process. So
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it was very productive for us.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the other thing too, in my mind for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: football is staying fresh. You had six games, you won
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: four of them, You're on this home stand. You pull
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: one out of the hat the other day against Temple,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: so you got a lot of emotional ups And do
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you do you find I mean, you've done the sixteen
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: game NFL schedule. That's a long that's a long schedule.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Do you find it that players needed to be, you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: refreshed mentally when you're played this game six or seven
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: or eight weekends in a row.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You know, I kind of vacillate on that because I think, yes,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: they do, but then you don't want to lose that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: edge that you that you've kind of developed. But I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: think Mike that having a buye after your sixth game
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: is perfect. You know, it gave us a chance to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: get six good games in develop that endurance we want.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Like I said, we worked hard for three days, give
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: them a break, and they've come back to their credit,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the player's credit, you know, with a really good mindset,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: good energy, and by the time kickoff comes around, you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: know we should be back in the flow. You always
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: worry about a little bit of just kind of getting
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: out of rhythm maybe, but I haven't felt that this week,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: So I'm hopeful that we come out and play well
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: on Saturday.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You mentioned in your press conference Tuesday morning about self
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: EVALUEA That's always interesting to me because where do you
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: start with that. I mean, do you just start going
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: over every piece of video you have of the recent game,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: or how when you use that term, what are you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: actually saying?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you're self scouting, and I mean it's constant. It
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: happens every week, but not to the depth that it's
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: able to happen during the bye. I mean every week
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you're self scouting yourself. You're deciding or you're evaluating if
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you have tendencies that an opponent can grab onto or
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: what's working well what's not working well. But a lot
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of the things that you do going forward is based
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: upon game plan, and when you have a bye week,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you can really go back and take a detailed look
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: at the things that you're doing well and the things
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that you're not doing well, and how can you improve
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: those things or are there things that you're not doing
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: that can benefit the players that you have in your system.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: So just having the time as a staff to take
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a look at that and really dig into it. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: then in practice, because you're not preparing for a game
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: per se, the areas that you need to improve on,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: really take time and detail things out and spend a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: good amount of your practice time on the things that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you need to improve on.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You kind of been running the ball very well in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the first five games, dominant in some of those games,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: had trouble running the ball against Temple, and you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the casual fan goes, well, they're one and four, they
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: can't be very good. But Temple's pretty darn good and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: they did an excellent job on the defensive front. I thought,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: why did you see or how did you view why
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yukon didn't run the ball that well this past game
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: against Temple? Whereas they've been, you know, putting two hundred
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: yards up there in the previous games.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I said it last two weeks ago. Immediately, do
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: not be fooled by their record or their statistics. Temple
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: is a really good football team. They have some really
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: good football players. I think they're very good on defense.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not going to say that they're as
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: good as a Duke or a Maryland are awake, but
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: they're pretty damn good. So I knew it was going
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: to be a struggle, but we just didn't. We didn't
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: play up to our standard up front. They did some
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: things defensively in terms of their coverage component that allowed
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: them to bring an extra gup in the box. We
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: didn't always have good aiming points with our front guys.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: We could have block better on the perimeter. Backs could
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: have been a little bit more patient and found the whole. So,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a lot of times it's just you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that attention to the tiniest details that make the biggest
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: difference in the run game and everyone working together and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the timing of it, and you know, a broken tackle here,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: broken tackle there, A great block here, great block there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you know, you're making the plays,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: but it gave us a chance to look at how
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: people are trying to defend us in the run game.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: This past week did and the devensive coordinator for Temple
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: is a good friend of mine and was able to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: spend some time talking to him about what they thought.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And so getting those ideas from your opponents really help
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you as you move forward.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the bottom line is you win the game. But
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I thought that one of the best things that happened
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is you won the game without your bread and butter.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You didn't really run it that well ninety nine yards
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: on the ground. Did you think that that was a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: positive in the sense that you figured out a way
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to win a football game without your best stuff? I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: guess yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I mean winning any football game is a positive when
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: you when you don't play your best or you're not
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: playing at your best at what you do best, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you still find a way to win it. You know it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I think number one, it builds confidence, but number two,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it also emphasizes the need for us to be better
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: in areas and never take anything for granted. And I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: not saying that we do take it for granted, because
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: we don't our guys work incredibly hard and they're they're
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: very diligent about their studying and you know their mindset.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But I think it, yeah, I think it gives a
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: team confidence. But you can't let it happen over and
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: over again, right because he's gonna come out on the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: right side. So you have to approach the improvements that
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: you're gonna make. You need to make with great urgency,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and that's what we've done.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the great escape is always good when it comes
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: out with a victory, that's for sure. Jim Moore with
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: us back in the moment. We'll talk about Temple a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: little bit more before we start digging into wake Forest
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and other topics. This is the Yukon Football Coaches Show
• 7:26
