  Speaker 1: last six weeks? I mean, we know the rankings and

• 3:55
  Speaker 1: step to kind of improve down the stretch.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: You could say so many things, but I think it's
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: just a collective effort in that huddle, looking at each
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: other and being together and a collective effort.
