• 0:00
  Speaker 1: A few in the proud today, respect uh, probably asking
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: why act the way the preseidents set up in camp.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: There's eight days between each game, so instead of just
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: trying to get as much work in without uh while
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: being as smart as possible, so you know, we'll kind
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of ramp into the KC game. So we're in pads
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: again tomorrow, shells shells Wednesday, and then kind of into
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: our pregame routine.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Starting on Thursday.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: So uh, but the guys are locked in a lot
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of great work today, so very please take the rest
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of the day. Got got some meetings throughout the afternoon,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and then go recover and get ready to to uh
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: just put the pedal down for the rest of the week,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you know, to me have.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: A setback and beat playing for the product.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Not to my knowledge now you know, I don't I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: don't know. I was going to one question.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Would like HMMA and ready Be.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Those are two guys that went into the off season
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: with something to proof, and both guys have really taken
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: ownership of of the trajector of their career by taking
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: care of their bodies, taking a ton of reps, doing
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a great job, great attitude, positive, just just really attacked
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the whole offseason program and and you can you can
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: tell the position that they put them in going into
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: camp and then they've really backed it up with some
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: with some great practices and I thought they played well
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in the game.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: So excited about both those guys. Ken Walker, is he
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: okay or yeah?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We have a program, we have we have a plan
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for Ken and we're sticking to the planet.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: The depth of that position that showed up in the
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: preseason game. Just what do you like about your running
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: back group all the way through everybody?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: First thing, I think KP does a phenomenal job with
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: those guys, and we got great, great guys in the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: room as well. Think about you know, Zach and his leadership.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You can see you feel them start to assert himself
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. But guys that just that play hard,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that get north and south, which is great. We've taken
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: care of the ball so far, which is even better.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And there's some things that we want to improve, just
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: like every position group. But you know they're going to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: get there, you know, because because the intents there every
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: day and you can you can feel the marginal gains
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that they're making.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: But it's an exciting group.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Solani kind of take a little bit of a step maybe.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: From last year this year or well again, I mean,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: George is like a broken record here. But when I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: think of that, these guys that are in the developmental
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: part of their career, the off season program is is critical,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and George is here every day. He works extremely hard,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: He gets after it, He's got a great attitude. He
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: always knows what to do, even though you know, reps
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: are probably limited in some capacity. And when he's given
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: his opportunities, he's he's done a great job with it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of expected because of because of what
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he's done. You know, I'm not surprised by by his performance.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Mike, what have you thought of the off ball guys
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: behind Ernest and and Tyrese, Patrick Drake And.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this the other day, but
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I think I think those those next two guys, Patio
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and Drake have had great camps. They you know, Patrick,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Patrick is probably you know, we keep we have this,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: uh this like in in the in the defense competition
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of like stats and hustle, plays and tackles and basically
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: just tracking production.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And Patio leads that over camp.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So and Drake's right there so you know, they haven't
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: started yet in their career, but we believe in the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: development guys, guys are allowed to get better. And you see,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you see the improvement of those guys. Josh Ross, I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: thought he had started with a with a pretty good camp,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: but it's unfortunate with his hand. And you know he
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: saw Jamie back today and I walked through capacity and uh,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know how we feel about Jamie. So great opportunity
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in front of him. But just like teenite, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: it's like it didn't start until he did, and then
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: they's a starter. So these guys they haven't started yet
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: until they get a chance to start, and hopefully they
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: keep taking advantage of those opportunities.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: What kind of can't you think?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Ron? Cept great?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: He's thinking, he's doing a great job. He's doing a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: great job. Saw he's cut his hair, he looks sharp.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But uh, love Bayron, just another guy is hammering away, executing,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: doing doing, doing a great job.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Recognize him. Uh can't lie and say I didn't not
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I recognized him, but I was.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's pleasantly surprised. He looks good man. I gave him
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a salute.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: We saw had the interception and he had the game.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: What kind of camp is he at you?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I might again I keep saying this, but a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: guy that's asserted himself over the season, I think it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: took him a little bit whild to get comfortable and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: gain confidence. But I think the room really respects him too.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Like you know, he works extremely hard. It's always available,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and he's really competing. You know, he's really competing for
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the for those reps right now, you know with in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: our third corner spot, so.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Excited to see him go attack the ball.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I mean it's not easy to make that play, play
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: with the anticipation go attack the football. You know, if
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you play timid, if you're not decisive in that moment,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: he probably doesn't make that play.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: So just tells you where he's at mentally at this
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: point with.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Murphy in the season, are you playing on moving him around?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Do you want him to come in on a role.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Where you could well, I mean he's playing detackle, so
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you know he's going to be within the from B
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to B. Basically, probably wouldn't move him out side, you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: over the tackle at this point. I'm not saying he
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: couldn't do it, but that's probably where he's gonna live.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: This depends on who's in the game. Is he playing
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: with you know, Jay Reed? Is he playing with Leo?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Kind of how that works. Speaking of those hankns, Is
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: there no update on Hank at this point? Now? Are
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you still expecting him to be ready? Right?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I was or wasn't expecting him as
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: just kind of just you know, with what he's dealing
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: with his backs, It's like you can't have you can't
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: have like a timetable because either gonna be wrong or
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: be disappointed or and if and if and if it's
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: back earlier, then you know, maybe the prognosis is initially
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: then great.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: You know, now we're now we're rocking and rolling.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So it's really just a matter of how quickly the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: back kind of calms down.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Is he back home?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Gett care? Is he okay?
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: So he's need.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, let's face it, Hank doesn't need a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: lot of reps to get ready to play. I mean,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he knows what to do. He's in the meetings, doing
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: his rehab, doing a great job.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: So, Mike, you've talked about competition that could ask you
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: by linebackers, and then we talked about the DBS just
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: how would you assess the competition of the backups or
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: the players that are trying to fight for reps overall?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Who would you assess that?
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Well, the competition's hot. I mean, it's this is the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: this is.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: The time where you know, you put your hard work
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: on display.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And I wouldn't say that we're exclusively evaluating these guys
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: off of game reps, but it does, it does. It
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: does matter on how it shows up in the game.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: We get a lot of great observations out here at
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: practice every day, and how you go about your business
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in the building matters a ton too. And then I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be really fun to see these
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: guys practicing its Green Bay, you know, in the in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the in the joint practice and ultimately the third game.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So just you have all these opportunities to get to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: know the guys, see how it fits. Not easy decisions,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: which is which is a great problem for the Seahawks.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: You know, we have we're deciding through, you know, between
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of great players.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And look, I think you saw it last year.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: How we started the season with our roster isn't necessarily
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: how it looked week three to six twelve.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: How we finished the season.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: But these are guys that I can confidently say that
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: we're investing in in our building and we no matter
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: how it shakes out, we want them to be here
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: so we can develop them and eventually they can earn
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to be on the field.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: At center and right guard. Obviously an injury situations decide.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Is there any way that, like a winner doesn't really
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: decire himself obviously, that you would go into the season
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: and rotate again what you did last year.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Right now, the plan is not to rotate. I think
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I think we're we're narrowing in on what we want
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to do. We just we have a process, so right
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: now we just want to stick to it. Like Jared,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: We're probably we're gonna ull name of a starting five
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: at some point.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Jaren Reeds the guy who's here before you got here,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: and obviously you knew who he was the player in
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the production, But what maybe stood out here surprising the
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: most about Jaron Reed? Yeah, like if you got to
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: know him and be around.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Him, you know, I'm trying to take myself back to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: when we first got here. Obviously I know I knew
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: who he was as a player from all the way
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: back to Alabama, so I just knew he was a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: great player. I was a little surprised he was in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the A gap as much as he was. I thought
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: he was more of a free technique and that's that's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: how we ended up using him. You know, John's kind
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of saying his praises like throughout the process about the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: roster and what we think of him as a person
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and as a leader, and he's really backed that up.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: So he's a guy that's leading the charge defensively, He's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: he's a he's just like he's just a great like personality,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: care guy to have around all the time because he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: has he has some like he just has a great
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: feel for like we're talking about being loose and focus.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: To me, he's just got that and tally when it's
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: he when we mean business. Hey, there's a certain standard
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: he's he's going to be the guy it's definitely gonna
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: uphold it and show the way to the rest of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the team. But it's also you know, hey, we're here
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a lot, we meet a lot, and we do football
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a lot, and he makes it fun.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Called the game thirsdy, Right, Yeah, I thought he did
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: a great job.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: When he does that is there things you can take
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: away from when he does it, or just hearing humans
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: that apply to how.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: You can make Yeah, yeah, I think that's that's an
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: extension of what we talked about last week of how
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: we split some calling duties during practice. It's a great
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: opportunity for for him obviously, and you know, thinking on
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the fly in new situations, solving problems in real time,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: which is which is anytime you haven't called plays. Those
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: are things that you got to be able to do.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: And I thought he did a great job of it
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: during the game. Uh and as and from my perspective,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I like, I like hearing what he's thinking because inevitably
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be the same thing I am
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: all the time, and it's an opportunity to either kind
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of him, you know, just bridge the gap one way
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: or the other. And so we're always kind of working
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: off each other, and like we'll go back and debrief
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and go through what we were thinking those times, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: so it's good stuff.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: It's just this is a really fun process.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Coach, you were a linebacker lover from the beginning, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: and you guys didn't add anything to your death this year.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: You didn't draft.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Anyone to sign.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: What's something about your linebacker debt break comments, Patty have
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: your mom Intuny Cariff, John Ron, So may you know
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: about them or appreciate that other books might not?
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I think that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's the same answer as earlier is you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: see the production in practice. Uh, you're around these guys
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: all the time, so we have we have confidence in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: them when they when they earn their opportunity, that they're
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: going to take advantage of it. Production doesn't lie especially
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you know, in practice. It's just you have such a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: like a big sample size and uh so that like
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: at some point, like you gotta you gotta kind of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: listen to what you're seeing and and.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Uh seeing and hearing out there. So good stuff.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: I'm at a business But have you talked about whether
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: you're doing captains the same way this year as you
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: did last year.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I haven't decided one hundred percent, but we're probably gonna do.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: We're probably still going new game captains. Yeah, Mike.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: With Sam coming in, it's a big kind of a
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: big ask of a quarterback to be new scheme, new
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: receivers around, Like everything's new to him.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Have you seen him.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Handle that growth process throughout from when he got here
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: to where he is halfway.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Through camp, he's attacked it. I mean, he's uh.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I think what you love about Sam is there there's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: no there's very little variation in his approach. It's just
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it's steadfast. He's determined, he's competitive. You know, he gets
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: some it's feeling certain ways sometimes out there, especially at
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: me maybe, which is good. And and he always responds
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to those challenges, so I think and that's where growth occurs.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And I just I think he's playing right now. I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: think he's it's a pain.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: In the buddy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: He's getting the ball fast, he's accurate, he's making fast decisions.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: There's you know, operationally we're still working through.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: A couple of things.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: But I was just telling me yesterday, like it's painting
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the butt to pressure him, because all out and he's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: making you know, it's hard to it's hard to get
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to him.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: You watch him thrown, especially to Jackson Cooper cup. Does
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: it look like those guys are playing.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Together a lot longer than Yeah, it's a great that's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a great point. I think those guys have. They have
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they have a great chemistry between the two receivers and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and all three and really really our core offensive guys.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I mean you it's like off season program, but often
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the guys were here. The whole offense is here every day.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I think I think we might have missed like a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: handful of days collectively between the whole unit, which is
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: which is really incredible.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: So that's paying off at this point in the year.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: The pressure, how how much has he ramped up the
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: match just at the twelve pinever for fifteen practice out.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Here, Well, you know they're they're installing too and then
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and and we're kind of getting to the stuff with
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: sauce later in camp, so we're we're kind of give
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: them the full game. We're running more stuff in practice
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and would ever carry into a game. So it's it's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: good for us to on defense to get it executed
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and play it a play quickly and make fat and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: execute the right way. And offensively, it forces you to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: follow your rules and make quick decisions, and that's what
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: he's doing.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: You mentioned how he kind of get get his point
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: across whatever he Lucas the other day called it really
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: even keeled, which seems we'd be crossing slightly different than
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: but does he have a way.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: He's the same guy every day in terms of his approach,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Like ab is right about that, but you know, when
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: when it gets competitive out there, I mean he's he's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: He talks about nickel.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: You haven't said whether that's a safety position, a linebacker position,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: a corner position, doesn't matter.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Is there difference?
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Isn't responsibility between those three?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's easiest to put him. I mean he's
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: in the dB room.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: And he's he is a safety and he's gonna he's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: gonna wrap it, you know, in in base personnel at
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: safety when there's when there's not a nickel on the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: field and we could we could you could see him
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: in some other spots too, you know, as we move forward.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: But I think it's easiest.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: To kind of work from back to front. And then
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: when you're at the second level, it's kind of like
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: being a down safety to a certain extent. And so
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of crossover teaching.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Steed words beyond uh coup Ben Jackson like, what do
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: you want to see from those guys to separate them
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: so and they learn more opportunities.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: We'll take advantage of their opportunities one and then it's
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna be in a lot of you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: base or twenty one personnel twelve, thirteen, twenty two, so
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: special teams is going to be a big, big part
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of it as well on who ends up grabbing their
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: helmets on Sundays for us.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Mike, I don't think we've asked you about Schamorro and
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: John Charles throughout camp.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: What's he been doing with life?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: He's been a it's just it's a just a lower
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: body injury. It's not it's not I mean, it seems
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: like it's a long term thing. But we're you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: we're going on what two and a half weeks now,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: so I think we're within you know, week to ten
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: days of him of him being out there in rolling.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: You hold me to that. We're gonna get to day eleven.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get the next question.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Random one. But do you ever borrow or pay attention
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: to principles from other sports like zone principles and basketball
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: defense or anything like that to learn from for football?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not not zone principles from basketball, but movement
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: for sure. How we how we get ready for games?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You know, we changed our pregame routine this year. A
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: lot a lot of the studies that actually Jay did
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: for us, which I thought was really awesome. So there's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: always stuff to learn from having a hard time giving
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you like exact but like, yeah, you're gonna take inspiration
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and ideas from anywhere. Okay, find that you changed.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: It's kind of our thing right now.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I know that. Like, but you'll you'll, uh, you'll see it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: You said you saw it on Thursday. We just kind
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of doing our own way now, but there's reasoning behind it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Anything else. Thank you. Thank
