  Speaker 1: How would you. Uh, yeah, I thought it was pretty solid.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: We would like to finish that drive. I think it
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was kind of middle of the second corps. We'll like
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to finish that drive of a touchdown. But for the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: most part, I thought it was pretty solid. Would like
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: score score a few more points, But that's the only
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: thing I would say with you guys started going, yeah, well,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we had, uh we had like a two man drive
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: situation at the end of the half, and that's something
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: we work on a lot in practices, you know, those
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: tempo those two minute end of half in the game situations.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: We spend a lot of time doing that type of stuff.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: So it's something we're very confident in, something that we
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: feel like is a is definitely definitely a strength for
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: our offense. So yeah, I think everyone feels pretty comfortable
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: when we go with tempo. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: say it's it's much different. You know, we we do
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a pretty good job of an operation and practice pretty realistic,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you know, with the clock and utilizing the timeouts and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. We do a really good job and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: how we drill those things in practice. So when we
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: come out here to the game, it's really not much different.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You said what you want. I'm just trying to be
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: consistent and put goodball on tape and you know, complete
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the football and just and try to move try to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: move my team down the field and score points. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to try to be as consistent as
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: possible and just trying to help this team, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: win games. Uh, yeah, I feel pretty good. I feel
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: like in both these two games, I feel like I've
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: made some pretty good decisions for the most part. I'm
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: sure looking on tape, maybe we'll see some things that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: could have done differently, but you know, it's it's it's
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's also good to have things that you can improve on.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So we'll look at the tape and see how we
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: can get better for next week. How was that connection
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: as well? Yeah, Sop can play. I love I love Sop.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I love, you know, getting to play with him. He's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: got great hands, great ball scale, some of the best
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: ball skills I've I've ever seen, you know, in practice,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: he makes some ridiculous catches. He's he's he's great versus
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: press coverage. You know, he's got a great release package.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So and when we were in the red zone today,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they they came up and pressed him, and all I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: had to do was kind of hold the safety a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: little bit, and I knew Sop was gonna do the rest.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But he's a good player, you know. I love playing
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: with him. I love when he's in there for sure. Yeah,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I mean we me and Bubba were talking about today.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: We're deep at receiver. You know, I've never I mean
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it's only my thirty year in the league, but this,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a receiver room this deep, especially with
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the twos and the threes that we have. It's it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: really impressive. You know. It's a good problem to have.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You know, Unfortunately, every single guy can't make the team.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: That's the tough part about this business. But we got
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: some really, really good football players in that room. That Yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it makes it easy. You know, when you when you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: can be balanced on offense, it makes it way easier
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to throw the football. You know, I think it starts
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: up front out there. Our O R. O line played
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a really good football game, and they were great in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the past game. They were great in the run game.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We were moving those guys out the ball came back,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: did a good job running the ball. All the backs did.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But we can establish the run game early on just
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: sets the tone and opens everything else up in the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: passing games. Yeah, both of them are great. They both
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: did a great job. And those two guys have been
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: having a great camp and they've they've both they have
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: both gotten better each and every day. It's fun to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: watch those guys grow. Two young guys and two guys
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that I think both have a very bright future in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: this league. So it's definitely definitely fun to play behind
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: those guys cause they they're gonna, they're gonna do what
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it takes to get the job done. Got closer. Yeah,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that's a great question. I think, Uh, it was a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: great idea to come out here and bring you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: pretty much the whole organization out here. It was we
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: had a great dinner, I think it was Thursday night,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and the guys really got to spend a lot of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: time together. And I think that's what builds a team,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you know, is spending time, especially away from home on
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: these road trips together and you know, it's I think
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it's a really big It's something that's really important to Mike,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is you know, building that culture, building a family like
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: atmosphere here with this team. And I think he's doing
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a great job and doing that said again, Sorry, yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: just they they love football, and they love this football team.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: They want to do whatever it takes to to get
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: this team to where we need to be, and they
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: want to win just as bad as us players want
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to win. And it's fun to play for coaches that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: really want it cool. Appreciate you, guys.
