  Speaker 1: You got to have confidence in yourself. You know, you've
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: been doing this a long time. They've put in so
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: much work and they understand that. You know, it's time
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to go out there and let the work pay off.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And it hasn't the last few few games, and it's frustrating,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and you go back to work and you grind and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you go back out.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: There and give another go.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: But mentally, you know, every time you step out on
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that field, you need to think that you need to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: know that you're able to get the job done, and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it's the opportunity to go get it done.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Don't reference potential rusts when it came to both Andre
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: and Tyson health wise in terms of how much game
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: match they saw Sunday versus what you're expecting for them
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: this upcoming Sunday, Where would you evaluate where both those
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: guys are.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I think both those guys are going in the right direction.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You know, anytime you miss time, you you know, football
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is such a muscle memory job, and anytime you miss it,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you I guess you missed the day to day movements
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and it takes.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: A while to get back into that end.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Those guys that are, you know, working hard and they're
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: getting ready to go again this week. So then them
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: sitting in the second half was more just were they
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: not necessarily ready to play a full game or what
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: went into that decision.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: No, they were ready.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It's just that anytime you're dealing with a certain type
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of injuries, you wanna not let fatigue be.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: A factor in it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And you know, I don't want to say a pitch count,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: but you know, just let the guys work their way
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: back into it and think about it is we've talked
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and we stressed next man up, and we have confidence
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: in the guys behind them. You look at it, you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: look at Cisco and you look at Dewey, those guys
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you know you can put him out there and you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: know sometimes you don't even know the difference.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And then you see Buster, he's done such a good job.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Give him opportunity and let Tyson not have a setback,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and you know, it's just opportunities for guys that we
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: trust and they came in and did a good job
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: for us. It's always next man up here, and that's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just another way.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: To use it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Mike, what do you think the miss tackles have gone
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: done on one to eighty from the start of season.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It's it's something that you know, it's hard to put
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your finger on. But again, my message to the guys
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: this morning and again this afternoon.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: We work it every Wednesday. We're gonna work at Wednesday
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and Thursday. We got to get back to tackling.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And the only way you get back to it is
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: go out there. You drill it, and you focus on
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it and get guys to take the extra step. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it's all eleven guys. It's not just one guy missing
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that tackle. All eleven guys have to be there to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: get the guy on the ground.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: The fact that it was so good earlier in the seasons,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: did I give you confidence that they can.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You know, kind of happen again. Well, my confidence is
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in the guys. They're gonna come back.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: They're gonna work hard, and they're gonna do what we
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: ask and they're gonna get another opportunity to go out
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: there and write the ship.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And that's what you look for.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Guys that want to get it right, Guys that work hard,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and we have those guys.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: This year.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Really, he's he's grinding, you know, it's a tough situation.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: He's on a team that had a bunch of talent offensively,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and you know they had some tough breaks, but he's grinding,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: he's making progress. You see him like his progressions are
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: starting to be smoother. He's getting the ball out of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: his hand faster, and he has some weapons around him.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So he guy like, we face a bunch of young
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks this year and haven't fared well against a bunch
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of them. But you know now it's another opportunity for
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: us to get back. So anybody that rolls in here
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: this week, we need to be ready to play. It's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: more about us making sure we're ready to play than
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: whoever we play. When you're in this kind of hole
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and you know you need to win to get into
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the postseason, when you walk in those team meetings, do.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: You get the vibe from the team that they're ready
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: to do what it takes to get back on the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: right foot.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We just want to win, no matter or.
• 3:53
