• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, everybody ready, short week and we're
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I guess it's the best gift you can
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: get after a tough loss, loss like that as an
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: opportunity to move forward on a short week and get going.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: So altered the short week schedule a little bit. I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: felt like our guys needed like a full recovery day.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: So we'll get after it, get a game plan together
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: today and then kind of double down on our work
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: tomorrow and travel Wednesday.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: So that's the plan.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Do you have any more updates on Ken Walker?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no updates right now on them, but getting the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: test one, we'll have a good idea what it looks
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: like over the next day or two.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: But you're part of a great team last year in
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Baltimore and everyone seed and I'm curious. You know you
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: said yesterday this team not quite where you want it
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: to or the team wants to be. What's the differences
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: between this team and a great team?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Well, well, first let me say, our guys know what
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: it looks like, and we've done those things at times
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: throughout the year, and this is not as consistent as
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we want right now. But we talk, we talk about
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: December football. It's complimentary. You know, we use terms like
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: twelve is one, but that's that's really what it looks like.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And that's that's why we have those terms. That's why
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we've talked about those things throughout the entire year, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that's what we're chasing, that vision of how we want
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to play. But it's a rugged, it's a physicality, it's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a togetherness, great situational football that you can take advantage
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of those of those windows to win games like that.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: But that's what it looks like most.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: When you went back and watched that one, this one group.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I just evaluate the heck out
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of games right after, but it is consistent with what
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we said after the game. We had our opportunities. We
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: had our opportunities to win the game. You got to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: give the Vikings a lot of credit with their track
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: record and in tight games like that, being able to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: play well when it matters most and and we fall short.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So we gotta we got to move on, We gotta go.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You kind of the destinies out of our hands right now,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and that that's uh, that stings, but we got a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: lot to play for us still, And like you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: we're talking about this morning with our staff, like we're
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: just we're just gonna keep hammering away until this thing cracks.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And I think it's I think it's right there. So
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we want to be ready when that happens. And and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: uh hopefully we get an opportunity to get into the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: dance and go and go do some damage.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: As you just said, your destiny is not fully in
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: your hands. A week ago you were able to come
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: out of the lost saying, you know, we still control everything.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: It's all out in front of us, is it. It's
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: all a challenge with players this week to make sure
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: they're all in the right space.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: When that has a little bit.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It doesn't change it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it really doesn't change your mentality, your approach,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It won't change with our guys not worried about that
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: one bit. When you talk about finding that consistency, do
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you think that comes as a result of more experience
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: or more focus. I just think that we got to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: keep attacking it and hammering away at it. That's just
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't know what else. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: don't know what else there is to do. Just keep
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: attacking it. All the things, having the discussions, having the conversations,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: chasing the things that we want to chase. I mean,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that sounds like a lot of might be some coach
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: speak crap. You might call me out on that, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I really feel the same way. I mean, it's just
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I really feel that way. I feel like, you've got
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to be steadfast and what we're trying to achieve and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: chasing that vision and and uh, that's how we've always operated,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: That's how we'll always operate. Our guys know that they'll
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: be Uh, we had a great recovery today. They're still
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: they're still they're still working right now as we speak,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and we'll be ready to play on Thursday.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: What did you think of Gino's mess over all day?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said this morning, I thought, I mean I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I thought he played good enough to win the game.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: He did some really great things. You know, if we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: get a stop on when we're up four in the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in the last end of the fourth quarter, we're We're
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: having a different conversation right now. Everybody wants to talk
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: about the interceptions and and rightfully so, and we just
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: those are things that we're working through. But I mean,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons that we're here with life, like
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I said last night, is I really I really felt
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that that Gino's helped put us in this position. So
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I thought he played I thought he played a strong game.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: You talked this morning about the sack that he took
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: the down of the thirty seven forty three yard line
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: on that sequence he had this two big plays to
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Fanto and Macintosh. How much consideration and obviously you're playing
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: to win the game, but how much consideration is going
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: on the sidelines for trying to balance playing fast to
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: get downfield and score and also putting the Vikings in
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: a position where they maybe have to start thinking about
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: burning some time out.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those things are part of the conversation and how
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: we intended to operate, and uh, we didn't get it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: done in that moment, So that's that's that's Uh, it's disappointing.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Obviously we hadn't we had a chance to go get
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: tied up, keep the ball moving forward, and uh, we'll
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: be better next time. But it's that was definitely part
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of the conversation we're operating with that, Uh under that pretense.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: Mike, how important is selflessness and accountability.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: In your program?
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Is you strive for perfection and do you feel that
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: you're getting that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredible, It's incredibly important, it's incredible. We
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: talked about twelve as months. That's a team focus, a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: team mindset, all through the lens of what's what's best
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: for the team is gonna be best and best for
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the individual. So we have to operate like that. We
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: do operate like that. That's what the whole, the whole,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: this whole program is built around the team.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: So talk about how important love and ball is for
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: people on this team.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: You guys talk about it all the time.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and curious if you've ever had players that you've
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: found that have learned to have that love at the
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: NFL level or.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: If they don't have it, they're not going to get it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I used to think that once you don't have it,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: or if you don't have it at some point, that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you probably don't have it. But my experience in the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: last couple of years changed my opinion on that, probably
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: not to one hundred percent, but I do feel like
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the guys, if you're able to go this far in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: your career and make it to this level, at some
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: point in your career, there was a spark in your
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: eye about how much you love the game, and it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: fun to get that out of guys, you know, when
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you see the light come on more and.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Uh, that's that's one of the best.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Parts about the about the job is to see that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: come to life and guys find that passion again. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I won't name any names, but guys come to mind
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: as I hear that question, and it fires you up
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to hear about it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: You know, is it safe to say there's maybe still
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: guys you're learning about in your first year with this
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: team that whether they have that love or still are
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: trying to capture it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're learning about your guy, You're learning
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: new stuff every day.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: How could he not? How could you not?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: What do you think has been the reason that the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: light came on with some of those guys?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean I just think if you if you
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: empower them, like we talked about having big like a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: bigger vision for your guys than they can imagine for themselves.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And uh, you make that come to life and you
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: feel like you're empowering them and they've opportunities to succeed
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and have success. Uh, you know, find joy in the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: process about how we operate that we're gonna operate in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the consistency and how we operate, like they shouldn't be
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: coming to work every day not knowing what the heck's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: about to happen, you know, and how we're and how
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: how we're going to treat them. And I think if
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you stay steadfast in that and stay consistent, then that's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: when it comes on.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Jared read a few times this year, is the guy
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: who's playing really well even when we don't see it
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: in the numbers. The numbers were there yesterday. What's he
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: been given you in particularly what he do well yesterday?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I think it's similar to Leo's curve for the middle
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of the season.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Just we knew he was playing really good football and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it's good, great to see that, like Leo kind of breakaway,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you know, break open the stat category. I put Jay
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Reed in the same same sentence of guys playing really
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: good football play he's playing really hard, Uh, how they're
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: working together and some and some of the pass rush
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: stuff is it's pretty cool to see and it's exciting
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to see him get some production.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: They were winning touchdown yesterday. You said they made the play.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: It was a great plat with them, But did that
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: go as designed for you? Guys.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: No, no, definitely didn't want to have a touchdown there.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean, we can execute what we're
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: asking them to do better.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't be giving up forty yard touchdown passes. That's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a good thing. But you
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: do have to credit them, you know, when I'm making
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a good play as well.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: Aside from the two sacks that were giving up in
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, the offensive line only gave up four
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: o their quarterback hits the entire game, all the dropbacks
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: that you guys had. What was your overall thoughts on
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: the way that they played given the aggressiveness that the
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Vikings bring with their blitzer, can you say that again,
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: they only had four quarterback hits before you had a
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: couple of those sacks at.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: The end of the game.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: How do you feel without the way the offensive line
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: handled dealing with that hyper aggressive defense that blitzes a
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: lot and uses sim pressures.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, at the beginning of the game, the beginning of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the I'd say, let's say the first seventy five percent
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of the game, I thought we handled that stuff really well.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I thought we had a good plan.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Again, speaking of geno, how he operates getting it out
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of some of the stuff that we wanted to get
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: based off the looks was efficient. And then at the end,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you know, we just we gave it probably too many
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: pressures in the end, But the guys played hard. I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: thought they played sound. We just we gave some pressures
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: at the end. But the first three quarters of the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: game I thought was sound.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: Playing on the first series with that tied to something
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: during the week that he did or did not do.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not the game that the Packers game, that's correct, Yeah, it's.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: During the week.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Touchdowns love interceptions, g you know two years ago thirty
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: touchdowns love an interceptions.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: He's having a little bit of a different numbers year
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: this year. What do you think the differences are? And
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: like players that can have a year like that and
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: then a year statistical it's a little different this year.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: What do you think they're contributing factors to that?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Virginia, I mean, you're asking me to compare apples to oranges.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: That's I don't know if it's If I were to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: give you any answer, I'd just be speculating and just
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: be making something up.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: How much of the run the run pass numbers obviously
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: kind of looked a little by the by the end
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: of the game. How much of that was with circumstance
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: versus if you went back and looked at it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: We sort of run the ball more here in certain situations.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like I said this morning, we just have to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: keep doing a keep chasing moving the ball forward. So however,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: however that manifests itself based off the game plan, we
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: can do a better job of that, and so that's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: stuff that we're thinking about doing. So some of the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: things that Minnesota was doing, we got us out of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: some runs earlier in the game, and we made him
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: pay in some of the in some of the early
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: down pass stuff. So you just start looking at like
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: straight numbers of there's more going on than just call
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: called runs and call passes. But overall, we got to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: do a better job of keeping them all moving forward.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: Like you mentioned, some of the procedural issues yesterday, I
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: think he had seven four fall starts and legal ship
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: and such. What do you kind of see from that
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: area your team and she kind of worked through it
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: at the stage of the season.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we should.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: We should be further along then we than we are
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: right now. In the procedure stuff, especially at home. We're
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: working through that, and like I said, I mean, this
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: is an area that we knew to attack, so we're
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: spending a lot of time and energy getting it fixed,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and we need to do a better job. Our procedure
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: has actually been better on the road, it feels like
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: at points than at home. So we'll look at it
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: cadence wise, operation wise. Everything's on the table.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Schedule wized for you guys.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Is this like a normal Sunday to Thursday week or
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: is anything different?
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Well, you know it's d I did.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: We did change the schedule partially because later in the week,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: partially because I felt like recovery was really important.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: And then we could just kind of.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Let's do the let's do the game plan all in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: one fails swoop on Tuesday morning and uh go from there.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And then obviously Christmas is going on as well, and
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: we're am we're on the road. So normal week feels good.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Feels good to have some adversity in a week. You know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that's great good stuff.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: This is probably a hard question to answer any with
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: any sort of exactness, but just ballpark, you've coached against DK,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: you obviously coach him Now, roughly, how many other receivers
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: around the league do you see commanding as much attention
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: from defenses as DK?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Again, this is another Apple's orange is. It's tough.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: DK has a u unique skill set, different than a
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: lot of other number ones, So I do think he's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: kind of unique in his own in his own measure,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: So it'd be kind of hard to compare. Sound like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of true big exes out there. Maybe Mike
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Evans is similar. We've been gone against Mike Evans in
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a while, but different styles, you know, some like nowadays
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: more number ones are like more not true like one
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: position type guys justin Jefferson moves around, plays all the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: spots and everything. But yeah, it's tough to compare.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: Would you shed more light on what happened or didn't
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: happen on the final pass?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just let's just we'll get that fixed in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: house and.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: We got to move forward.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: But when those chunk situations, I thought we had a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: good plan and we just just didn't get it done.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Walker's unable to go this week. Do you expect Zach
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Charbonad to potentially.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Be able to take the full look all this speak
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: to Zach it seemed like com you know, he was
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: limited during the game, but signs are positive with Zach
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: You against the dual threat quarterbacks several times, your Kyler
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Murray twice. Caleb Williams absolutely thrives playing out of structure,
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: a little different body type, not the same.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Skill set exactly as Kyler Murray.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: But how much does that impact what you can do
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: coverage wise when you have a quarterback that has size
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: and also has that ability to play sandlot football and
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: thrives in those situations.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good question.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I think you got to approach it with again broken
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: record all even mentality. So how you marry the rush
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: with the coverage with how are you going to send
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: from what angle? Uh, what pass rush lanes you wanted
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to kind of fill up? And how you account for
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: all all the all the different pass rush lanes is
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: always important.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And it's not just.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Six man you know, drop back pass or five out.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: It's you gotta account for it in the play action
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: game as well. So it's definitely at the top of
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the mind, at the top of your minds as you're
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: going through a game plan.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: You said this morning, it's kind of a chasing edge question,
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: But you said you need to.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Be more efficient on first down and know you look
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: at how do you become more efficient on that? Well,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I think, I mean it goes to Bob's question. That's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: just I think that's more of a function of what
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: we're trying to achieve right now. It's different for everybody,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: but it starts with what we're good at and building
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: around our players. So that's really that's really the starting point.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: And how much is an opponent take factor into that
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: in terms of what the sheeve?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every time, every time we're going to game plan,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: it's going to be through our wheelhouse and attacking their
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: structures and how they operate.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But we shouldn't be We want to keep it within
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: our like our sweet.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Spot of what we can execute and do at a
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: high level, and then it'll be through the lens of
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: how they operate as well.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: Do you feel like you're dictating terms right now.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: On offense.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: At times? Just like when we like I said, it's
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: our football team right now. We do a lot of
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: great things. A lot of times I feel like we do,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and sometimes sometimes we're not. But you can ask me
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: about special teams defense that will be the same answer.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: How's Christmas factor in? And I know there's not much time.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Now you got to run Chicago.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Well, it's definitely. I mean, look, we're at the end
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: of the day.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: You know, football doesn't rank first on the hierarchy of
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: needs here, so it's really important for our players and
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: our coaches to be able to be home with their families.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: So we'll start later on Thursday, come in around eleven.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it's not ideal, but it should be enough time
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: for them to spend time with their families and they
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: can get out of here tomorrow night.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Anything guys, Okay, all right, thank you,
