  Speaker 1: All right, good to see.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Everybody got the great opportunity to go against a great
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: football team again this week playing great football on the
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: road East Coast trip ten am game, So we've got
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to be on our stuff, get ready for a ten
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: am game on on our schedule.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a big emphasis this week.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And really, you know, coming off a loss, it's it's
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: about our process, about how we prepare.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I know that sounds.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Cliche, but it's what we believe in here and it's
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: gonna be really important for us to go finish off
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: a great day.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So far today has.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Been really really good, and we've got a great opportunity
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to go out there and and have a great Wednesday
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: day of preparation and then, uh, you know, I'm gonna
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: keep giving me the buzzwords here, but like Kee, keep
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: stacking them, keep attacking this thing, and uh go prepare
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to play our best game for Sunday. So but Jacksonville
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: is a really good team, playing playing well in all
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: three phases, playing comp mary football, got a lot of
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: good players. The coach will so be a great be
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a great challenge for us.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Jacksonville likes to wrack up the yards on the ground.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Your run defense has been solid all year.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: What we're going is making that happen for them or
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: for us or both. I think I think it's I
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: think it's the same answer.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: That that we gave earlier in the year, is.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: We're playing with the physicality up front and a like
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: a disruptiveness to us, but we're without being but we're
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: also being disciplined in in the box. I'd say we
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: have to be better on our perimeter, keep attacking that,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: but guys are playing.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Hard and we're fitting runs well.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I think we're also being aggressive and how we're calling it,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: so it's right now, it's a good combination.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We've got to keep that going with.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: A new head coach who I believe is calling the
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: players on offense. There is five games enough of a
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: sample to kitch onto things, or you still too still
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: too small to read into what they've done so far.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I think I think it's all the above.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I think, uh, you definitely have to account for how
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: they've operated this year. You know, you're looking into coordinator history,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: other people on their staff, what they've done. You have
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: to have a great understanding about how we're being attacked
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: on defense. You know, last year what they did in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Tampa going against like you know, there's there's all sorts
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of things you can pull from and then there's obviously
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a balance of Okay, at what point are you kind
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: of going down a dark hole? And you got to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: start making decisions And you know that's what I tend
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to do, dive a little too deep.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: So how often are you in the rabbit hole looking back?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Ato too frequently? Make it more simple?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Who helps pull you out of that?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Nobody?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: What do you see?
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: They're really creating a lot of turnovers on defense?
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: What do you see any kind of how they're doing that?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Well, it's, uh, they forced fumbles and they've they've they've
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: intercepted the ball a lot. And you know that the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: interception today was that was in a zero blitz with
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a pop out, similar to like Leo's last year year
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: against New York. It's kind of coming in all different things.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And like what we say is, if you know you
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: play with the play with energy, balls tends to come
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to life. But you also have to have you also
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: have to have an awareness of when those ops come.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You know, the fumbles have come, you know, both in
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: ball and transition extended plays. Uh, the quarterback, So they're
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: doing a good job of finding those ops and taking
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: advantage of them.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Some people talk about blitzer as a way to kind
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: of help coverage out by get more pressure quickly. Some
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: people talk about it is you got to have good
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: coverage to be able to blitz effectively.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Sure, how do you see it? Yeah, it's both.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I mean what there's there's some inputs into it too,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: variables that you gotta I feel like that's always my answer,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But uh, what's what's the what's the situation?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: What are you trying to trying to attack? But it's both.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Ever, Lawrens has only been sacked six times this year.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: What are they doing upfront?
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: Or is it a matter of just the way that
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: he is getting the ball out and getting.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: The ball to playmakers?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's complimentary, right It similar to similar how
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: we feel like we want to operate on our offense.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Is playing on time, He's making fast decisions. You got
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to give him a lot of credit for that. The
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: receivers are getting open, and he's throwing the ball on time,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: he's throwing it accurately, and they're protecting him. So they're
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: doing a good job. They id stuff really well, Uh,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: they're not in dropback situations a lot. If they are,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: sometimes it's on their terms.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And uh.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: In the action game, they compliment well with some of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the movements and and uh and the screens off it
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: as well. So they're just their complimentary offense and they're
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: playing efficiently right now.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Red zone defense, obviously no team wants you have to
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: play red zone defense. But physicality and mindset, how those
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: two mirror and important.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in the red zone, we say nobody runs it in,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and they ran it in and twice on us last game,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: so we're.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: A little we'll upset about that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: DeMarcus Lawrence, Devin Wetherspoon, and Reek Wolin.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Expectations for them practicing today, Uh yeah, I'd say the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: timetable is the same from what we said on on Monday.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: With d law you're probably looking. We'll just we'll see
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: how it plays out today.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: It's good, but it's gonna go for all three, it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: gonna go later in the week. Terms of in terms
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: of like play status and all that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Josh Jones, what's his what's his status?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Josh is out this week?
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Like how's the you have and Moroe experience gone in games?
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: And have you intended to use a more in game
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: planning and situations just didn't match.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we we we've we have, we have like the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: plan is to play more than one play a game,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: but we just either haven't needed it or haven't gotten
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to it. So we'll continue to work it and game
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: plan for it and call it and then like kind
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of let the games declare on on how we want
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: to play it, but we're still very much part of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: our plans.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: There's some active conversation a few weeks ago about signals
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and learning signals or stealing signals depending on your perspective.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: How commonplace is that for people to pick up defensive
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: signals before games and how much does it happen during
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: games along the way.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It happens both sides. It's funny. I was thinking for
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: some reason, I was thinking of Sam.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Howell last year in practice, just you know, we'd be
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: doing periods and he's like, I know what that call is.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You know, you can't be yelling at you know what
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you're doing.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: So sometimes it's a little inevitable on you know, calls
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: it here in all the time, so you do have
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to change offenses have to do the same thing, like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: You can't just be saying the same thing for seventeen
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: games and haven't been the same thing. Otherwise teams are
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: going to pick up on that. So something you have
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to be aware of.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: But Josh Jones, does he need to go in iour
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: or is that a consideration?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Not right now?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: No, So, Trevor Lawrence ran the ball a lot more
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: last game and that has seemed to be an issue
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: for the defense in terms of containing quarterbacks get out.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Is there something you're seeing that that can change there?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: What's kind of the cause of quarterbacks kind of getting
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: out on that?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Like the way the way that again these quarterbacks are,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I know, it's easy to say, like they all extend
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: play as well. And this is something that Lawrence throughout
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the hadn't really done at the beginning the beginning of
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the year, showed up last game, has done it throughout
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: his career, So it's something you have to account for. Uh,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: We've had a lot of great games where we've rushed
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: our style and played for as one and have contained quarterbacks,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and that's that's the expectation.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: We haven't done it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we have been as consistent as we want to be.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I think that's the answer, you know, but you're gonna
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: have you have you have a you're going to tailor
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: your rush plan.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Two.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: It's a combination of what you feel like you do well, matchups,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: how the quarterback operates in the pocket, all those things
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that you know, those things are in consideration every week.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Like when we talked to A. J. Barner after the
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: game about you know, people thought he was a blocking
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: tight end and not a pass catcher. If he laughed
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: at that now and he said he almost kind of
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: put himself in that box. Do you find that sometimes
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: the players come in league of like because of what
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: their role is in college, that they don't even necessarily
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: know their full potential till they get to show it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Uh. Yeah. I think.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think in terms of AJ and like
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: more generally speaking, but more generally speaking, our philosophy and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: John Harbaugh taught me this is we take pride and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: having a vision for our players bigger than they have
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: for themselves, and that I think that that provides growth,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that profer guides stretch and it's our job as coaches
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: to see it and make it come to life. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: with AJ, I feel like he's had high expectations for himself.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: He's had high goals and he's not afraid to make
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: it known and go chase it. You know, you see
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: a guy like Jacks has been the same way. You
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: know that these guys they envisioned themselves as premier players
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: at their positioned and that's what AJ is trying to do.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And I think he's on his way.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Amyrior of training camp, if he if people ask about Barner,
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: whether it's you or as teammates, they talked about kind
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: of those goals and expectations. Is that something he's been
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: more vocal about that. I mean, it seems like you're
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: all relaying that message. That's something he's.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean that was that was our conversation
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year on like on what
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: we what we felt like he could become, and he
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: shared the same feeling, and you know we we I
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: think we got I think I don't wonder when we
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: got the question about Aj and the off season or
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: during camp or rots or something, but the way he
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: attacked the off season, I'm not surprised. I Mean, this
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: is what we's what we envisioned for him as being
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: this type of player. So but you gotta put the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: work in. You know, you got you gotta you gotta
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: go through all the steps. You know, you can't just
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: say it and just show up and just it happens.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta go train. You gotta train with
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: a purpose and intent and do it every day. And
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: that's what he does.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: It seems like on rewatch that Cooper Cup showed up
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: in the run game. Obviously people know him as a
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: pass catcher, but you know, what kind of impacts have
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: you seen from him as a blocker and not just
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: as a receiver.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Well, this has been a big time part of his game,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: his whole career. I mean, we've had to deal with
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: this guy for years, blocking on the perimeter, cracking safeties,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: you know, getting you know, transportation runs started on the edge,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: blocking dns. There's a toughness to it, there's an intelligence
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: on how to get it done. There's a physicality to
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: his game. I think that has, you know, extended itself
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: all the way throughout the entire receiver room. I think
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: our receivers are blocking well right now. I think we
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: always can take it to another level. But he brings
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: that that mentality of hey, it's twelve is one football.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: We're I mean we're all we're all responsible for our
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: run game receivers included, and yeah, I mean he just
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: he does a great job.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Halipress was what Travis Hunters doing. And kind of the
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: way they're using him.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: What's the challenge I guess when of the guys on
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: both sides, but they kind of stick him in at
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: different times it appears.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a challenge because he's a good player,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you know, that's so they're finding ways to get him
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the ball on offense. And when he gets the ball
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: in his hands.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: He's tough to deal with, so we got to take great.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Angles and get multiple people to him. And defensively, is
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: obviously a great talent and they're figuring out ways to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: make him impact the game on defense.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So tribute to him. We saw this in Kyle.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, the guy was playing like a trillion plays
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a game at a high speed, at a high level.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: So not surprised, but you know the fact that they're
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the first team to really make it come to life
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: here in a minute is.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: It's just kind of is what it is. It's it's good.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You know, they smart.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: When you're preparing for a ten AM game on the
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: East Coast? Are there things you do throughout the week
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: to get rid? Obviously you leave at a certain time,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: but are there things you do differently throughout the.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Week for that, like as as a team or me personally.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Is Yeah, you're not doing like wholesale changes, but you're
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: trying to bank sleep, certain strategies you have on the plane, hydrating,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: trying to stay on your body clock. You know, it's
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: like kind of like micro things you just try to hit. No,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: what's happened towards the later part of the week, You say, do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: You actually keep your watches and team clocks on West coast.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Time when you're East?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: No, we just we just translated to the Yeah, we move,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: we move our Saturday schedule back, you know, because you
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: get in late on Friday and you're still trying to
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: maximize sleep, and you know there's a balance there on
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: what you do on Saturdays.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I would go crazy. I would I wouldn't know what
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to look at. When you look at Chada's easy and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it's not just the total number of yards, it's his
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: average yards per carre. Right, what do you see him.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: With his run style?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Well, he kind of he kind of does everything well.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, he's an explosive runner. He's got great balance.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I think you're seeing it well right now. I think
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: he finishes runs well. There's an explosive element to their
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: run game too, where they've they've popped off a few
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: long runs that you know normally you see like a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: long run. There's seventeen thousand guys online of scrimmage and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: maybe a guy misses a tackle and you know, now
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: it's it's to the gate. These runs are like, you know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: running through angles, breaking tackles, different waves of defense. So
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: it's it's impressive what he's doing. But you know, he's
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a great back. We see great backs every week. We
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: got to bring our a game every week. You know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: we have to play. It's like we have to play
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: our style of football to be able to play our
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: best game to put ourselves in a chance to win.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: And we respect him, he's a great player, but we
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: got to play. We gotta play seahawk defense.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Those guys that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Were there, it's gonna tick later in the week. I
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: think it was the Law and Spoon. Were any of
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: them in the walkthrough today?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're all out there. Julian Jillian was out there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Well, any of the well Julian.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Practice today, he will not practice.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: With Jackson.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: You talked a lot about his approach contributing to the
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: way he's performed. For those of us who can't see
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: what you're talking about, what are some of the those things
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: that are unique about his approach?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I'd say it's unique to great players.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And what great players do is they bring it every day,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: they go, rip it, they prepare their tails off. Then
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: when it's time to go, they go. They go, make
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: decided decisions, play hard, go after it, and then they
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: kind of recalibrate and do it, do it over and
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: over again. But I'd say his mentality is like steadfast
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: and consistent of I'm trying to I'm trying to be
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: great at my craft. I'm also trying to push the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: envelope on what I'm trying to do and get accomplished.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Part of that is like building chemistry with the rest
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: of your offense, with the quarterback and the rest of
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: your receiver room, being a great teammate. I mean, those
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: are what the great ones do and that's what Jackson
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: is doing and that's what makes it so exciting sustainable.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: What are the Do you see that there's different characteristics
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: or different things that are required to close games out
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: versus play good defense or play good offense the rest
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: of the game.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a it's a it's a play by
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: play mindset, you know.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: It's just it's the same thing that we talk about.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Like I told the team today, like, we haven't played
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: a playoff game here yet with us, and so are
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: we going to change our mindset when all of a
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: sudden we're in a different environment, or now we're in Jacksonville,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: or now we're in Ota five, or now it's quarter
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: four versus quarter one. I don't think that you need
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: to be changing your mindset because of the circumstance.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I think the mindset stays the same.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Whereas it's all about our process and what goes into
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a play, and how to play the play, how we're
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: going to finish plays, all those things. And so when
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: we've done that, we've played great football at the end
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: of games and we've closed games out, and we haven't
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: we haven't given ourselves as good of a chance to
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: win games.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: There have been a couple of instances this year of
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: players like about to cross the goal line on what
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: would be a long touchdown and they let the ball go.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Is that something that you show the team? Oh yeah,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it is.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: It is interesting that you think like it's easy as
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a head coach. Sometimes you can take things for granted,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: like you would assume that they would know.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: To do that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: But but you gotta be thorough, man, you gotta it's
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: our responsibility to coach the rules, have our team understand
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: what's going on.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sure those teams do the same thing.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: And that's what makes it scary, is like, hey, we've
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: covered these things and sometimes guys don't make the best
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: decisions in those moments, but we're just trying to train
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: them the best we can and then trust our guys
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: are going to go make the right decisions in those moments.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: There we goes.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Okay, all right, thank you coach,
