• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Well, we had good meetings today coming off this uh
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: this ball game here yesterday. There's a lot of good
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: things that happened. There's a lot of stuff to fix
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and correct and all that. As always, we feel like
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we're on it and and uh pleased that we made
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it out pretty healthy and looking forward to getting going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: again this week. It's a lot you know, you guys
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: asked the questions and all. But there was a lot
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of stuff that I really liked in that game. I
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: liked that we were generally I'll say that that we
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: got back to playing sixty minutes of football and it
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: was very uh similar and familiar to the other games
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that we've been playing that that have been in the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: same fashion. And and uh, to me, that's a that's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a big deal. We've got a way that we want
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to play football and and that will take us all
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the way through the finish and and I really like
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that and gives us a chance to win in every game.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So four.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Out. Yeah, he he just played a really good football game.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: He did a very nice jo. It was obviously his
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: best play for us, and that's why we left him in.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: You know, we we had planned to spit the time
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and we we liked the way he was going, so
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: we just kind of left him out there and and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we're pleased to have him out there at the end,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you know, and down the stretch there was a some concern,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you know, how would he how would his endurance be,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you know, staying out there, cause he had and played
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a lot the last couple of weeks, and so this
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: week was a chance to see him go and uh,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and he came through in big fashion. Abe's gonna be
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: practicing this week. No, unrealistic. We we don't even know.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: You're gonna see, you know, see what he does, what
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: he looks like and all that, and how he feels
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: about it and how he responds to the workload, you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the actual football stuff. But the trainers are you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: he has a chance he could and so we'll see
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: what happens. No, I don't know, I can't. It couldn't
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have been very George Blander was a kicker or in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. I mean, I don't know, there's nobody. I mean,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many guys have ever played in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the forties. Is that the other guys, Well, he's a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Matthews and that's the whole different deal that family. You know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: what what does it take?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Well, he there's a as far as I'm concerned, there's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: one of them. So what does it take?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Whatever he's got, h he the the the obvious trait
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that he shows is he's got great feet in his quickness,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you know, and you would think that as you get
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: older he'd lose that. But he he has the ability
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to move and change direction and redirect and stuff that that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You know, guys just don't have. Guys that are playing
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that are young don't have so pretty special uh, you
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: know player.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Offense. But what's the number that you look at that
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: shows that toughness or that style of play that that
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you want to see?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: What was the first thing you said about the yards? Yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: well we're you know, we're looking to run the ball. Well,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know, that's that's important to us, and and we
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: were effective running football.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: We could have we ran twenty six times. I think
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: You know, I think when you're getting in the thirties,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you're you know, it's a good mix. Whatever happens with
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the throwing game from there, you're in good shape. The
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: way the opener went, yeah, that was that was alarming,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you know to me. You know, we were head at halftime,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and and we go in and we don't play well
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter or fourth quarter, you know, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and uh, okay, so after all of that time, this
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: is what we are. You know, I was really I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: was really disappointed by the first game, and so that's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: probably why I may have reacted, you know, heavily in
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the other direction when I saw start to put some
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: games together, you know, and and leave that one behind us. So,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't win the Cincinnati game, but we
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: finished the Cincinnati game going for it. You know, we
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: were we were on both sides of the ball and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: had a chance. We just didn't convert, you know, to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to win the game. So that one, to me, was
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in fashion that the other games had been.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: So what did what did you see in their two.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Fourth They they they shifted modes a little bit. They
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: went after the running game, you know, and right off
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the bat, and and uh surprised us a little bit.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We you know, that wasn't what had happened earlier in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the game. And so they put you know, three or
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: four runs back to back that we were pretty effective,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and that that just moved the football.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So then we come back the next time.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: We're not sure if they're gonna try and do it again,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: so we had to you know, play away into uh
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that next sequence. And so they they hit a couple
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of good plays, you know. The the pass for the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: touchdown was a remarkable throw and catch. You know, we
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: had c coverage you guys, right on the on point,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: right where they're supposed to be, and the ball was,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: as Mark Sanchez called it, layered, Uh was layered over
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the top.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Mark really liked that. I gave him a little shot
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: right sore.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And uh so they you know, they that that was
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the play of the of the drive and really the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: play of the day for them to keep them in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the football game.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: So well that you've got two games with Leonard Williams,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: what does that allow you to do with figuring out
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: however body else spits on that line I dream was playing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: With outside, Yeah exactly that That's really what It gives
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: us a chance. Dre had played quite a bit, you
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: know and kind of over the years, uh inside and outside,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: so he's not unfamiliar with it. We just haven't been
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: practicing him there very much, so we just have to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It's taken us a couple of weeks to just get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: him adapted.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: But we like him there, you know.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And so he we in losing Chenna, you know, we
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: pick up a little bit of something there that uh,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that that we weren't planning on til you know, Leonard
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: showed up. So so we're making use of that and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: s and uh, I I think Dre you know, did
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a nice job yesterday, pressured well yesterday and uh in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the mixture he played m about half half in half out,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: so it was good round.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Did you see my face? Sacked? You know, ma Fay sacked?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Look what happened on that one.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You know, he took up so much space in the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: B gap that he just gave him a free shot
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: at the quarterback. And uh, it was a beautiful aspect
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of the that sack. It was really what what Leonard did.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And so that's he's got the ability to to help
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: guys around him as well as to do his own thing,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you know. And and uh, we're just learning them, but man,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we're really excited about it, you know, to get a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: sack too. And then he he was the first to say, yeah,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you know here my first game. You know, he was
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: really proud of that too. So he's just getting going.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But we're really excited about There's nothing that he can't do.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: He can really play the position.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And what he liked.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, just in general, I hope that I've said
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: this enough that you guys know that me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: He can do everything.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He blocks, he he can catch, uh, he runs routes well,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: he understands the scheme. He's consistent, he's really physical. He's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: been a real physical uh uh nature to his game,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: even to the point where we didn't quite getut of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: bouncy you know, and they hit they couldn't pass up
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that shot, you know. So, uh, there's nothing that we
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: don't like about him. He's got a different running style
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: than than you know, certainly than Kenny does. But he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: reads the line of scrimmage well. He you know, he's
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he's just he's a really good football player. So we
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in him. You know, he's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: playing down the stretch you know and stretch drive. He's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: out out there, you know, going and and uh, that's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: just confidence that he's given us, you know, by who
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: he is and how he practices and and how he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: performs and he really he hasn't had a ton of
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: plays yet you know, but there's no doubt that he's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: he's in it and we can count so really fired
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: up about him.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And you were talking about are you still Yeah, Yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'm thrilled, you know that that's what we're seeing. Who
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: would have predicted he'd be a he'd set a record
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you know for you know, consecutive sacks. But really the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: sky's the limit and there he's just getting started, you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and he's still a new guy coming up, you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And but he's playing with such consistency now that it
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: gives him a chance to be available for those kinds
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of plays. You know, he's got to hit it right
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: on his rush, even though Leonard did set it up beautifully,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and he's still got to hit it right in time
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it right. He did it perfectly, you know, and gets
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a clean sack, you know, nails the quarterback perfectly.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: He was close a number of times on the touchdown
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: pass that they throw to Gibson. I mean, you can't
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: get closer to stop in that play with his rush
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and he looks like he's getting held, you know, and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he's hitting the quarterback.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: The quarterbacks arm can't even go.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Past the release, you know, he's so close on that one,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: so he's causing problems, you know, and really.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Fired about it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: He's doing well, he's doing well. He's closes the line
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Well, we give him freedom to be active
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: on the edge, and he understands that and he'll understand
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: that way more and better as he gets more hearns.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: But he's been really active and he's been a factor.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So he's doing really well.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: We had enough, you know, we had enough issues with
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: with penalties early on and then the third down conversion
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that's enough to screw up any offensive production. You know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: we overcame some of that stuff. We still had for
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: long drives, you know, and and for good solid drives,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and we finished with the execution at the end was
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: just clean as you could hope for. You know, that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the timing of the throwing to catch, the protection was there,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: uh the communication from the from the calls coming and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: everything was right on it. And uh so we just
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: got cleaner and sharper as the game went on. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know why that happened. If I'd
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: have done it early, you know, if we could have
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: figured that out. But they certainly played their way into
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a terrific finish in the game. I was right there
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to call time out if we could couldn't make it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: We thought we were gonna make it, you know, we
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be right at the nub. We're
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: talking about it as we're going, and just didn't quite
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: hit it. You know that was you know, I just
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: took a chance with all the inputs that he had.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I screwed it up by not calling time out. This
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: we you know, we didn't get it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: What can you say about.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: What I do think is that as he's had more
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: success has even become easier for him, you know, I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: mean his his focus and his attention. Uh and just
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: as a young guy trying to figure it out and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out, you know what, what's it like
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to play in the league and I'm not getting the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: ball that much or whatever. I think that's just the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: fact that he's really into it. It's just made him
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: even clean, cleaner, and he's better because of that. So
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you know, he's he's on his way. You know, we
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: really would trust the heck out of him. He's a playmaker,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: he's good with the ball in his hands, he's blocking,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: he's really he's really contributing in a in a complete
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: way right now, and he's just gonna keep getting better
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and he'll just get more and more chances. He could
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: catch ten balls in the game easily, and it wouldn't
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: be a big deal. It wouldn't be a big deal
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of him for for sure. He's just got that kind
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of natural ability and come through and and uh ways
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to figure out the issues that that you got to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: deal with, and we don't. We haven't had enough chances
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: yet to see all of the stuff that he can do,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you know, And that what I mean by that is
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: how he adapts the situations and routes and adjusts and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: scrambles and all those kinds of things. He hadn't have
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: enough shots of that stuff yet. But I know he's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: gonna come through and do a great job for us.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: He's just got it in Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: saw those tackle numbers. I was surprised for the season.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: You know, where the here he is again. You know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: he's doing it. He's doing great. The way we play
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: him and the demands of the position really suit him well.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: The best we've ever done for him. I think I
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: probably we told you that before and we're trying to,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you know, maximize everything that he brings. He's tackling well,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you know, really solid tackler. His past coverage stuff and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: his own stuff has really been nice. And so he's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: doing great. And not to even mention all of the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: other things that he brings us, the leadership and the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: direction and the toughness and all that stuff, you know.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: So I mean the fact that HESSI.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: No, I think it has a lot to do. I
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: maybe I didn't make it clear.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I'll try again that the leadership had a big role
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in this, this transition.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: From last week to this week.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: They were the ones that showed the younger guys how
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: we're going to respond. You know, I can call for
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it and ask him, you know, but they got to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: do it. And when you have really good leadership, they're
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: watching them. They're watching them and listening to what the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: guys do and not just what they say and the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: speeches that they give, because they don't you know, they
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: don't take time to do that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: It's how they.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: How they just practice their way through the challenge of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the week. And and the leadership was really on point,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and the guys followed and we had a terrific week
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: in prep, and uh, really, I give all the credit
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to those guys and all of the older guys that
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: have been around and know what we're doing and believe
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in what we're all about. And they're the ones that
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: whatever I say, it doesn't mean any of it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: They don't do it, you know, so they they.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Follow and suit and uh it worked out really well.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't know.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure how that was going to work out.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And I figured that's the only way he would look
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: at it, you know, and uh, we needed to just
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: see you know. So you know, we're pasted halfway and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he's played almost every place so far, you know, so
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: more power to him. And if there's you know, if
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: there's times when we can you know, like the other
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: we were head uh you know, we were behind this
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago and I'm getting them out of the game,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and you know, he's fighting me. You know, he wants
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to stay out there, you know. So that's exactly what
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I expect, and I have no problem with that. You know,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: we just have to waste that battle at those times.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Does that.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Well, he's really good at it. He's really well equipped.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: He's got a big uh you know, a big toolbox there,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of things that he that we
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: can call and that we can adjust and all of that,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and he's totally in command of it. So it's it's
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a really good part of our game when it matches upright,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you know, we're going out of it and try to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: get the most out of it. But there's no restrictions none.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Protection wise versus pressure is the whole thing. He's got
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the whole shooting match that he can call on. So
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it makes us, Uh, it would be the would be
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the same skills that you know, call free to play quarterback.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: He's gotta be accurate, you know, and he's got to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: be timely and he's got to have the wherewithal to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: understand that when because he's still talking to you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: we're out there quick, he's still talking to Shane and me.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He's still hearing them, you know, so they're communicating, uh
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in one sided, but they're talking about what's going on,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and uh, he knows how to make use of it,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and he's really fluent, you know.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's just good at it, you know. So
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: it's a good part of our game when.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: You're in and you guys like get.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: In the quarterback.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: The coordinator fifteen seconds left that it goes off, I
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: think it is, you know, so if on the play clock,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: so he can talk to him. That's why you try
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to get there quickly, so that you can take you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: take advantage of the opportunity to see what's going on. Uh. No,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I don't have any more than than what they said.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: But he he uh when he they tested him, Uh,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: he was better than they had anticipated. So you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: it was a shock that something something yanked or something happened,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and and uh he felt better after a little while
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: after the game. No, it was just movement. We just
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: gotta run it more. Yeah, he's doing great. There'll be
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: times when he'll run the ball just as many as Canny,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: if not more.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: That'll that will happen somewhere.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to that at all, you know, just
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: just been doing that for a long time. And I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: just go with what's hot basically, you know, and and
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: what feels right, and and uh, there'll be a time,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you know, Kenn, he will fight it and.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: That's okay, you know, that's all right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: But Zach's doing great, and I would love to see
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: him get it more. It just it just gives us,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: just gives us more information, more more balanced. It helps
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the rest of our game, you know. And we talked
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: about it today in our meetings, how important it is
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to be able to run the football and how it
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: affects so many other aspects of your play. And so
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know, we're we we three yards in a cloud
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of dust. We just want balance as best we can
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: get to it. And and uh, that balance doesn't even
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: mean fifty to fifty all the time. It just means
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that if it the compliments really work together to strengthen
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the other aspect of the game. I'm still working at it. No, No,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I'm still working at it. It's still work in progress.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: You guys, many of 'em not very happy. I guess, uh, uh.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: What's the what's the first part of the question. We're
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: still we're still pretty effective with ex explosive plays, you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: we're our numbers are up there a little bit, so.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: They know what you know, you know everything else. I'm
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: pitt sure you're surprised by that thought, right,
