• 0:07
  Speaker 1: only select crowds. Respect for showing up.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I know you talked about it earlier, but just the
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: situation with Zach and then just that he's going to
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: be out and kind of what do you do moving
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: forward there?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, yeah, I mean really, it's just I'm
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: pretty sure it's a cl you know, maybe we're figuring
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: out what kind of the extent of the injury is
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and we'll you know, get all the details on when
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get it fixed and all that. But you know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you just you just feel fulfilled for the guy with
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the person. You know, just this guy's just absolute stud.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: So but he's he's around and he's in good spirits
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and we got us back.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: What have you thought of Ken's season to this point?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: You know, over a thousand yards played in every game.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, I think Ken's done a heck of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a job. I mean, I think I think you're seeing
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the results in the past x amount of weeks now
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of the result of like we always use a term,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: but really like stacking all those reps. I thought, this
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: is the most decisive he's ran up to this point.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And as expected, you know, you just keep keep getting
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: better and keep finding ways to improve, and especially in
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the run game, and he's done a great.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Job the decisive in that last game.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, this past game, I thought that was the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that was that's a heck of a performance.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Maybe third quarter was like the whole offense basically pushed
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: him another five yards.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: You like, Yeah, we showed that one today. That was awesome.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Just every yard matters, you know, So guys are fired
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: up to watch that one.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And what have you kind of seen it out of them?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's part of the reason we brought him
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: here is just to provide great running back depth. Both
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: they're really good players in their own right, and they
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: got a great opportunity in front of them.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: You know, so.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You hate, you hate it to be under these circumstances,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but it is what it is. You know, you gotta,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we gotta, we gotta move forward so they'll be ready.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: To Go's past protection is one of his kind of
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: really high trades. What what have you seen out of
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: those other guys kind of behind him, how they kind
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: of stack up in that situation.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a that's something we depend on
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: with Zach and other guys are definitely capable of doing
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it as well, but just Sack is he's just been
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: excellent at it. So that's why he's getting the majority
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of those reps.
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: Do you see George I Llani is someone who could
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: potentially come back and help out.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: George is an option. Yeah, Well, we'll see how it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: goes this week.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Is he physically like ready to go?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I think we'll I think we'll just let it play
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: out this week on on how everything goes, but probably
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: hear from that over the next few days.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: Right justin out and obviously he stepped into the running
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: back room when Kennedy left, and curious, like your thoughts
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: on the impact he's had and in helping evolve that
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: running game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jo has done a great job with those guys,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you know, taking over that room, you know, helping like
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: his role in how we game plan and and then
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know what he's done with helping out with the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: offensive line as well. And he's and he's an eight
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: guy me kind of all hands on deck and kind
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of all the different ways, which from my perspective, something
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I really appreciate. Just whatever whatever you kind of dig into,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just you know, kind of make that area sweet, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: make that take it to the next level. And uh,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he definitely has that mindset and has great presentations for
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the players. I know, you know, our running back room
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: has really enjoyed working with him. So yeah, definitely shout
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: out to j always done a great job this morning.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: I wonder if you clarify something fun you said this morning.
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: If you're getting blocked, you're not doing your one.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one point nine yeah times eleven is what twelve?
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: Okay, And then you did to drill down and talk
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: about influence in the run.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Game and game.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just I mean, you're going to get blocked,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: but if you stay blocked, you know that's that's really
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: not holding up your end of the bargain. So you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: we have to get off blocks and we got to get.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: To the ball.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And that's I mean, I know it's nerdy and door key,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but it's it's you know, you gotta do your job
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and then some you know, you gotta you have to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: defeat guys in front of you, and then you got
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to get to the ball.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: So if you want to make it feel like.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Twelve guys out there, you gotta you can't just be
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: doing can't be average.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, what was the second part of the question.
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: Okay, and then the way your players are able to
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: channel their emotions and then bring it when they need to.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but get yeah, really proud of of how
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we handled the game. The guys are poised, they're physical.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It played extremely hard. It's exactly what we're looking for.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So it was great. The guys did a phenomenal job.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: They've been doing a great job all year.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Your thoughts watching it and keeping an eye on the
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Paris Rams game beca But.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: I didn't really have.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's just kind of honestly, like, oh, like break down
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the game as it's going, just like kind of telling
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: myself the formation, what they're doing, what the situation, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: kind of take like an academic approach to it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: I guess that's it, man, that the.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Watch a game.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was trying to guess the play. I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: try to pull a Tony Romo and try to guess
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: all the plays. You know, sometimes I'm right.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: Are there any benefits that when you're watching an opponent
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: play a different team, like who they're playing in terms
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: of the coordinator and how they're attacking, In terms of
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: what you can learn versus just general tape.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're always you're always watching plays through the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: lens of you know, what that other team is kind
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of known for doing and what they're what their stuff is,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and so that includes the coordinator and how
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they build stuff. So that's always part of, you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the thinking. It's not necessarily in the breakdown, but you can,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: i know, you know what what other defenses do, so
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it gives you a clue to what what that offense
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: might be doing. So, yeah, it's not like offenses nowadays
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: are so good. It's like they're not going to just
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: run again, They're not just going to like pull plays
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: out of thin air. It's all it's all for. So
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: if you go in thinking like every play is for
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a reason, you can start to kind of strength together
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: some logic.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: All the way back to training camp, we see, you know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: offensive defensive linemen help each other out, do each other tips.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: And then we hear from Leo Saturday night that he
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: says a good credit sets.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Sack to ye.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: What do you heard from Gray? Is able?
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: What does that taste kind about the connection this whole
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: team has.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, it's a it's an awesome stuff.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just I just heard about it this morning,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and uh, I mean, what a great microcosm of what
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: our feel like our team has gotten to this point.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It's really symbolic of of uh you know that those
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: are relationships that we've built, you know, and then, like
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I said this morning, for for Leo to be like
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: have the humility to actually, you know, to seek out
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that type of advice and realize and take it from
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a rookie, you know, kind of just initially to the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: kind of the like layman's perspective, it's like, why would
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you do that?
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: But you kind of start to.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Dig in and you realize that that, uh, those guys
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: have been working together for a long time and they've
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: developed the Coore relationship. So I think it's I mean,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it's I think it's really really really cool.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: When you look at the when you look at the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: film this what what's that to it? From the defensive performance.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: On Saturday, our effort was tremendous. We just guys are
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: playing really hard, they're really convicted. You know, we played
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: we played sound football, you know, which is imperative against
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that team, and uh, probably we attacked the ball consistently.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: You know, I felt like the guys were very, very
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: intentional on attacking the football, So that was that was great.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: We've been hearing that effort answer you week after week
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: to be saying that about your defense in week seventeen
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: eighteen playoffs.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Right, what does that tell you about?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think i'd be standing here right now
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: talking to you guys if our team hasn't decided to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: play with that type of effort. And that's really all
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: three phases. So uh, that's a decision that they've made
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that they want to play to and I think our
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: coaching staff has done a great job of showing them
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: why and and you know, developing. You know, it's like
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I've said this before, but it's okay, I'll play hard,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: But like if I don't know what to do and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: how to do it and what's expected and have all
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the like the reps underneath me all the time and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: how it fits and where you know the guy next
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to me is going to be, it's really hard just
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: like run straight ahead into a wall and not really
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: know all.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: The context behind it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: So you kind of have to have that understanding so
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you can take great angles and take aggressive angles and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: know what to look at and know where's you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: all those things to let you, you know, play on
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: time and and so that's I think you're just looking
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: at the result of just a ton of great stacked
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: reps over the course of time.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: It's really that simple.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: Do you have already have an idea of how you
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: guys are balance keeping Sam sharp versus is protecting him
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: against you know, re injury or anything or is that
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: something you have to wait a couple of days to
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: figure out.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's something we're just going to work
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: through day to day on you know, balancing making sure
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: we get enough reps at the proper tempo with the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: proper looks, you know, and getting Sam the reps that
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: he needs. But I think that'll just be day to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: day right now.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: When you see him take that sack early, come back
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: the next play and rip that out to Cooper as
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I kind of tell you that he had everything.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a great That was a great. Say.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I was nervous him going down there, you know, I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: mean him didn't taken off, but uh yeah, and then
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: he ripped the seven cut that to Coop. That was
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that was awesome. So at that point. I think I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: exhaled a little bit the.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: Practice of showing like plays that are shocking effort and
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: one of.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: The did you do that last year too?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's like I don't know if if I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was I don't know if I was a receiver, Like
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I kind of want to know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I think it's be cool for that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's a great opportunity for the guys that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: don't really understand like how everything they don't not that
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: they don't understand, but like show how it all fits
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: together and and show that those little things are big
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: things to us. And the other person does a great
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: job with that is Nico. You know, Nico comes up here.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: You know, we have fun ways to do it, like
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: giving out belts and objects, We had all sorts of
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: stuff we'd do. But like he's got a great energy
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to him. He comes up here at least twice a week.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Guys love it. It's got great energy and he's always
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: highlighting you know, those little things that go a long way,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and we have great time doing it. And I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like it paints a great picture of the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: guys about what we're looking for, what matters, and he's
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: really headed that up and he's done a great job.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: When guys have talked about why you guys are here
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: at this point in the year, they have mentioned that
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the expectation is clear of them, you know, every day.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: It seems to be one example.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Do you think there are other examples you have of
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: how you show guys to what the expectation is that.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: You day, Yeah, I think I think.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: You got to like, if you say it's gonna be
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: about intent, then you I think you have to back
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: And that's not just me, it's.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Like our coaches and and and our and like the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: vets on the team by like, hey, look if you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: if you'm up and you're prepared and you have great
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: attitude and you get after it and you go practice
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and go let it rip, like we say all the time.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: You know, you have to see like okay, like I'm
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: not going to get killed for doing something, but for
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: making a mistake, you know, So that way we can
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: have that intent all those times. And to me, it's
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: our it's a coach is responsibility to make sure we
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: make the most out of those reps by how we
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: design things, how we coach it up, you know, how
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: we improve from from rep to rep and uh, I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: felt like I feel like as a team, we've done
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a great job of that. No, we've fall in short
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes and that's going to be inevitable. But as long
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: as you realize it, you know, and then you kind
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of make it right, and nobody's all been out of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: shape about it. You just say, hey, look, we realized it,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and we screwed this up. All right, Let's now what
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: are we gonna do to move forward? And you know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it's no harm, no foul, and let's you know, it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: rock and roll from there. But I think it's just
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that consistent attitude from day to day.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Is all year during the overseason, a healthy scratchy times
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: a third and ten.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, through sixty yard catches.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a critical part of the game where
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: we were able to finish that drive out and really
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: not give them an opportunity, a great opportunity at least
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: for the ball back and finishing with a touchdown. I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: was a I was a critical play in that game,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and uh, that was a heck.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Of a play.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So not surprised, you know, I'm more just happy for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: him that, you know, the preparation met the opportunity and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and we made it happen, but decisive throw on Sam's part,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: great run after catch and put us a position to really,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you know, not be in jeopardy of getting doubled up
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: at half.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: So that was a big time on your.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: On your Preget radio show. You had a quote about
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: it if I had to write writing it down at
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the time, but about gratitude, e racist.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Anxiety something like that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah you got that Mike gervaism.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah I'm getting coached too.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah. You know, like there's some study out there
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: that he says that he cites.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: That that's that's what it does, and it makes sense,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you know, just counter blessings and not to worry as much.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: That's a good life lesson as well.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you kind of it seemed like the context
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: was making it this far and so like, I guess
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the bigness of this could be something that could get
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you anxist or whatever.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I mean that's a practice
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that I do is you look around, you know, you're
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: worried about Look, I'm guilty, Like, hey, they got this play,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: they got that play. We got to defend this blah blah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and you're like you walk, you walk, in the locker room,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: You're like, we got some great players and they're ready
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to go. You know, like, okay, I fee a little
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: bit better now.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: So it happens all the time.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: What does it do to a defense when the players
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: take ownership in your seaball.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Metality talk about?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's just a function of, look if
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: we can, if we can make it so it's simple and.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Clear for the guys that can go play the right way.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: You know, if you want me to go out there,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you want me to do seven things based off of
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the sky's blue or gray, and then if it's seventy
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: degrees out or less, like I don't know, I'm just
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be standing out there. But if you can, just
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: if you can put it in terms where I can
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: go play the right way and you know, and it's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: different for different players, right, some guys it resonates more
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: by giving him more detail and kind of giving in
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the weeds with him. Some guys, you know, they play
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: their best ball when you just make it kind of
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a one track mine and go go rect stuff.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: And that's that's how we choose to operate.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: That note Ernest Jones, what is he like in turn
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: of what you're saying, processing and how much you give
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: him and getting in the right position.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Well, he's got a lot on his plate and he's
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: really great at it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: So if he wasn't as good as he is, and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: we couldn't be doing some of the stuff that we're doing.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: So he's uh, he's right there at the forefront.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Even the way the division played.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Almost feel like it was inevitable that this was going
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: to be the path to potentially get through ball to
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: go through two NFCS teams.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I think I just think it's cool how how great
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: our division is. You know, you know, we really wouldn't
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: want it any other way, Honestly.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Zach among other things, was really effective. And like short
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: yardage goal line situations, how beneficial is it to have
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the touch push uh to lean on?
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, that's a great point. Yeah, I haven't I haven't
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: really thought about it like that, but that's gonna be
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: something we continue to lean on and then you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: these other guys will be good in some of those
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: situations as well.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: The blocking of the tight ends, particularly, I think Eric
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: had quite a few notable ones. YEA to kind of
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: be a part of what you guys were able to
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: do on the ground.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sabby had a great game. Age had a great game.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Our receivers, you know, they continue to block really well
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: on the perimeter. H takes all eleven to get the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: run game going. You know, it's not just running backs,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: not just the line, it's even the quarterback making sure
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: we're on the right plays, making sure you're carrying out
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: your fakes.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's all connected.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: So a lot of times those tight ends are at
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the point of attack to get the play started.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: And and uh, and they've been able to do that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did a great job. Guys were fired up about him. Again,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: there's a great play on one of Canine's touchdown runs
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and there's some other really good ones there as well,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: so he should be proud of himself.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Do you expect Josh Jones to be able to come
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: back to practice this week? And did anyone else other
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: than Charles and Zach come out.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: With any Yeah, there's there's some things we're working through
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: right now in terms of guys being kind of banged up,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: so we'll kind of play that day by day. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Josh is a candidate to come back this week. So
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: but we just it's just like we got to see
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: how it is on Wednesday, if he's good enough the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: practice grade. If not, we got to move, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: go to just kind of where we're at right now.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Told over the summer, excuse me, that he had changed
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: up some of his like eating, and I think he
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: said his sleep routines with an eye towards you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: availability and all that. How have you seen that help
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: him this season?
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Well, he's been.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's working through his foot at
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the beginning, you know, over the of course of the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: off season, that was frustrating for him because he because
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of the amount of work that he was putting in.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And I think hopefully he realizes the dividends that that's paid,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that work that he's put in to really get himself
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: in a good spot up to this point, because what
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I've seen, I've seen a guy that's he's he's gotten
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: better throughout the season, you know, so you can't say
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that about all runners, and so that's a tribute to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: him and how he's taking care of his body.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Does Charles need you need to see him practice to play?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say necessarily, But I wouldn't say necessarily. Yeah, Okay,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: all right, thank you.
