• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and you're right, it does. And you know, look, it's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it's hard even when when you have a player from
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that team you know that you're playing, they're so enamored
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: with getting ready themselves to play. Uh, to go back
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and rethink of all the things that went on where
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: they where they either coached or played, it's it's hard,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know to do. Uh. But uh, but the guys
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you know in this case too, UM, I think just
• 2:05

  Speaker 1: print like impress his case, just preparing, you know, our
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: offense to to get ready and play this week. You've

• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you got Burnt had Carson last week, frank Us week,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: got Philly coming up in Kansas City. Yeah, you know.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And the thing, the thing is too, I mean with
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: some of those teams, you know, you know, even Philly
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, I mean it's different. Everything
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is different, you know. I mean you might know the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: city and some of the people there, but their team
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is a lot different, you know. Um yeah, I've I've
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: worked with Andy and played for Andy and and uh,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you know, their team is different, you know. I know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you know coach Bagnola and all that too. So you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you just gotta listen. You just gotta taken one week
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: at a time. Um. You never look past the week
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that you're in, and you're just constantly preparing. And we'll
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: worry about those guys when when we get there. How
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: much offence this spring were to be able to stop
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the run, specifically Jonathan Taylor or Derrick Henry. You bring
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it for you, LOUI conscious an example of fully, you
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: gotta gear it towards the division, right you do. You
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: have to start with your division, how your division is built. Um,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he's got some great running backs in this division and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and obviously stopping the run is imperative. It's it's, uh,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you know, a key to winning football games, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in the n FC South. So it was it was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a a focal point, you know, in the spring, through
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: free agency and obviously the draft to try to you know, um,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: put some pieces in place to help slow down the run.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: You know. I mean, this guy is so powerful and strong,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and and he's got a great you know, one step move,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and I think he's got great vision, and and he's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: just and the way they block he's got he's got
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the ability to really wind the ball back behind you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: b blocks and stuff like that, and just just a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: talented guy. And they do a great job of scheme
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and scheming the front that they're playing and so makes
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it hard, you know. And that's why for us, it's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: just maintaining discipline, you know, with your run lanes. You know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: is it a tough balance? Do you guys feel it
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: at all? In the outside world? You're Jack Will last Sunday.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It was the thirtieth loss in the last three years,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: but euro and one, as a jack said, coach, I mean,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: how is that separation or does that and always kind
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of enter the building. Um, well, until you brought it up,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I don't focus on it, you know, honestly, it's about
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: trying to go one to know this week and you know, um,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we learned from our mistakes. We move them, you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: move on from them. But you know, in our case,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a new team, new year, a new set of circumstances,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: new coaching staff. We're all excited about, you know, the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: season ahead and a lot of a lot of football
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: ahead of us, and you know, we just understand that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: if we just control what we can't control internally, I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: think good things can happen, you know for this team. Um,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: are you gonna win them all? No, But at the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: same time, you're gonna give yourself a chance to win them.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: When you mentioned controlling what you can control? Is it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: difficult for the Colts? They're they're really hemped up for
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: this game. They haven't won in Jacksonville in years. Is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it difficult for you and the coaching staff to kind
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of get your players to be amped up as well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: even though it's a division game, but it's a little
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: bit more important for India. I think, you know, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: think it's important for both teams. You know, UM, home
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: game for US division opponent. Um, we understand, you know
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: what the Coats might be doing at the same time.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: We've got to We've got to We've got to have
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the same intensity, right, We've got to match that intensity.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And our guys are guys are eager to get out
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on the field, and it should be a great football game.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And UM, you know I can't I can't go back
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in time. You can't change anything, obviously, UM. And you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: control today and and get better today and and continue
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to you know, prepare the team for Sunday. What do
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you like about how your guys attacked this week? Well,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I mean they we're able to, you know, take last
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: week and make the corrections and then put that to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: rest and focus on another another set of circumstances, another
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: game plan. You know, coming out Wednesday and and understanding
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the base game plan on Wednesday and yesterday was a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: good practice yesterday, And you know, it's just a matter

• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it through through the film study, you know, and and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: just just showing the guys and then it's not so
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: much about pointing out the mistake, because they know they
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: made the mistake, but it's how we as coaches can
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: how do you correct the mistake? Right? So here, here's
