• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of guys. Actually de Hamm was another one that we

  Speaker 2: uh you know, was sick Saturday.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Anton was a little bit sick and woke up.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: In not too good of shape, uh, you know for
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the for the game obviously, and and and couldn't make it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But imagine he's feeling better today, you know, Savage fine
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: today everybody.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Evan's gonna have.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: A little bit of a shoulder in the game, you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: but everybody else, everybody else came out, came out good.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: How about uh Logan?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Uh he made it made it through. Yeah, it made
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: it through. You know, We'll see how he goes this week.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But uh, there were no there were no setbacks with him.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Him wore ross.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Did it look like he hed.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, he uh he he'd I think have
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: four punts and uh did A did a good job?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is a is he a pretty tough guy for
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a putter. H sure as punters go.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I guess yeah, uh you know, yeah, I'll tell you this.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, being his plant leg. You know, that's definitely
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you know, a little strained strained on that leg, on
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that knee. But you know, he did a nice job,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: did a nice job. We'll see how he goes this week.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You got Josh chasing the career sack record here and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Brian is chasing the rookie receiving record here.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So in the season, you know, like this, is it
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: all right to focus on those individual goals for those guys,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, going through the rest of the way.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean obviously the sacks, you know, that's just
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Josh being Josh right and getting the sack.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I can't tell the opponent to let him. You know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: hey he's close, let him, let him get a sack.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: He can't do that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But you know, and then Brian, we can control that one, right,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you know, the amount of targets and obviously the catches
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: that he gets. So yeah, with the way our season
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: has been, I mean that's those are a couple of
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: bright spots to you know, to look at and really,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you know, give those guys credit for what they've done.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I think he said something that bucking focus on the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: postgame about getting guys involvedimore early or something like that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I didn't you basically quote you remember, to be.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Honest, getting Brian and maybe having the ball or Parker
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the ball a little bit more. I think we were
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: talking a little bit about he might have brought up
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the fact that it felt like Brian didn't get started
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: till later in the game. I think that's kind of
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the line of questioning. And it was again, it wasn't
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: for not calling plays his direction, because we did. The
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: ball just happened to go a different place, or you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: quarterback had to move. You know, he scrambled early a couple.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Of times Mac did. But it was good to see.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It was good to get you know, obviously get BT going.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And that was the kind of the gist of the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: conversation was, yeah, we need to do that more in
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the beginning, right, kind of kind of maybe focused on
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that a little bit sooner than later.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But again, it's it's not that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We don't do it, it's just sometimes the ball and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: or the quarterback going a different direction.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: With the way Brian took over the second half, how much.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Better getting or how high is it? I still think
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: it's extremely high.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think he still learned, He still is learning the game,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: learning different techniques by corners, dbs, the leverage, just understanding
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you know, his triangle of coverage right it's it's corner
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: safety and next inside defender, and just learning how to
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: run off of that and and run routes that way
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and then just use his his ability, you know, with
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: his speed.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So I think there's still a.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Lot to a lot that he can continue to improve
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and and as good as he is right now, that's exciting,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: right that he can he can continue to get better
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and and you know, potentially be one of the top
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: receivers in this league.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And drives, Tank getting eighteen drives is four carries. Was
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: that just kind of how the game unfolded. Just one
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: of those things.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Uh again, good front that we were going against two
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: really good d tackles in there.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Kind of hard to run the ball a little bit, but.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You know, Tank obviously the touchdown run and had a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: couple he and ETM both have had a couple of
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: nice little bursts in there which really helped us out.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it kept us kept us on the field
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a couple of times, converting into some first downs and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you know, again both guys are are healthy and and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: getting them both involved is what we need to do.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Oh's been on the field a lot more last couple
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of weeks, Mason, Yeah, what have you seen from him
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: and his development?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You know, getting closer.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Than Yeah, I think yesterday was one of his better performances.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Quite frankly.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: He he was strong, especially at the point of attack,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you know, anchored a little bit better. A couple of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: times he he he got a little undisciplined a couple
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of times, you know, lost his gap, lost leverage, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you know they're able to give up some scrambles and whatnot.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: But I think for the most part he is probably
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: one of his better games. And and it's a it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: a bright spot something you know he'll learn obviously from
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it and get better and continue to improve.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, it was a good game for him.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yak got a good half.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Last week and then yesterday he played well when he
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: had to play.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: That's that last drought. Does he when he's playing well, what.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Is he doing that's helping the team the most?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And do you feel like that a full.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Game is coming from him where he's played well from
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: start to finish.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I think as he I think as he as Max
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: settles into the game. You know, obviously when in Trevor's
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: kind of the same way, when we can kind of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: get into a no huddle type rhythm where where there's
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: more quick throws, balls out fast, and he knows where
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: he's going with the football. I mean, that's that's when
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: he's obviously obviously the best. And you know, a couple
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of times yesterday, protection was a little bit leaky, so
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: he had to he had to scramble and and got
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: some tough yards that way. But he continues to improve
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: within the system, within the offense. And you know, again
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: he's another one you'd love to get him going early
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: in the game. You know, we tried early yesterday to
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: just a couple of quick throws, you know, to get
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: get some completions going, and you know, credit Tennessee for
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you know, defending those. But I think that's something with
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Mac is just continuing to find those rhythm throws where
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: he can he can find those easy completions early in
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the game to get him going.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: He expected to be any different, but how pleased were
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: you if the one two was there.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, I mean I was completely I mean I was
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: excited about that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I you know, you.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Get asked a lot about your team and where we
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: are and our record and.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: This and that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: But I mean, you guys see it when you watch
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the game. Our guys they fight to the end. They
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: don't they don't quit. They battle.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Yesterday we were able to make the place right at
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the end of the game.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Defense stepped up huge at the end to really you
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: know that fourth and two, you know, throw and then
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: then the last one at the end of the game,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you know, one about the eight or nine yard line there,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you know, to to stop him on fourth down as well.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: You know, those are all plays and and things that
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: we keep talking about. And yesterday we were able to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: finish that and finish the game and and that was
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: really good to see. I think it gave the guys
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of confidence. It will give him a lot
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: of confidence moving forward. But you know, I've been I've
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: been pleased obviously with the effort, with the attitude of
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the guys, and and it's been really good.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Let's let's travel secret guys like, yeah, he's good. Do
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you have expectations for Reynolds this week.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to definitely want to get him, get
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: him going in the mix, you know, and and then
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: kind of cut him loose and and see see how
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he you know, see how he fits into the offense,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and and get him get him working. So I would,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I would anticipate him, you know, being ready to go
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Does it help that he's I don't know, in so
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: many systems that he's able to pick it up a little? Yeah? Yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: You know, for those guys, routes are all the same.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes the teaching techniques could be a little
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: bit different, but routes, the way we call routes, things
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: like that, are all going to be the same. It's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: just now a matter of just picking up the terminology
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: with the play calls right the scheme and and then
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: interjecting where he can. So I'm excited, you know, to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: get him out there this week and get him get
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: him going on Wednesday.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: For killing Robinson. How much can you just experience and
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: returning King yesterday first time in the game. How much
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: can I help him?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Love for I think it will help him mentally, really
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: gives him confidence carrying the football as a returner. But
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it'll also give him confidence if you know, if he
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: gets a chance offensively, you know, to carry the football,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and you know he's got really good speed and and
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you know for young players too, it's just a matter
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of continuing to develop and grow and and seeing seeing
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: things and you know the hole will open quickly, but
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: then it closes quickly, you know, uh in game. So
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: all that just adds to you know, what he can
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: do and what he's capable of, and and you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: we'll just continue to to work and develop with him.
