  Speaker 1: progressed about as you expected or.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Experience in the past.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I guess I don't think about it
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: that way. Just from the from the beginning, you're just
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: trying to trying to put an offense in and see
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: how good our guys can get, you know. Uh, you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: we have goals that we talk about throughout the season
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: for the guys, but it's just it's just about growth
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: and it's about winning and and the players take you
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: where you want to go.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We got to get them, get them started.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: But we just have some really impressive personnel that I've
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: gotten us to this point. And what's really impressive about
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: them is they're not satisfied.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You know. We know that's Uh, we got a lot
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of football left to play.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: You know, this is one more game and then you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens when we get in the tournament.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: But you know, our guys, John Snyders just assembled a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: really impressive roster of winners.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: What do you see from Roberts solid defense all the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: way back to the first game and then since then
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and what they're trying to do.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, every year playing playing His scheme is is more
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: of the same. It's just really a well coached group
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: that's very disciplined.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: They they swarm to the football, they turned the ball
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: over and just have a lot of a lot of
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: respect for what they do. You know, whether he was
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: with the Jets or back with the Niners the last time,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: he's a really good coach and it shows on tape.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: What have you seen them do or.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Salid do to count for a lot of like the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: firepower they've lost in their past, rushing down all that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Hey, you see young guys playing hard, you know, just
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: really kind of more focused on our.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Guys and and what we gotta do.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: You know, I think, uh, just making it about us
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: some of the slow starts you've had just kind of
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: individual games and things that's kind of happened. Or I
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: guess it's team because yeah, Carolina didn't like how we
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: came out of the gate. You know, it was we're
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: not crisp enough, slow out of the huddle. Got to
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: make can provements their going into this game. I got
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to follow up on Brian's question, or really no merry
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Christmas because you or your brother nothing like that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, happy New Year. You know, Merry Christmas for sure. Yeah,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: but uh, less is more with this, with this game.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: What determined that I don't want to say the wrong
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: thing on accident, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Just what determines the hot hand on your winning backs?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Because last game, can Walk I had forty four in
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the first half and I.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Think struck Jack had seven thirty seven. Then they flipped it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: What like, Yeah, I think I've said from the beginning.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I see we have two ones as far as our
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: hat backs. So one day it's Canine's day, one day
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: at Zach's day. You know, one day it's going to
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: be cam Aker's day. You know, that third back's in there.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: We we's got guys that when they're when they're numbers called,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: they go and perform. And uh, you know, Zach had
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: had a heck of a game. You know, it takes
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: everybody to win, and that position is no different.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So for you, it sounds like you just second half
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you're going whatever when you play sheet Pauls and whatever
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: running back.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we just have probably very few things
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that are just for one guy.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: You know, our guys can do it all, and uh,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: you know, we try to we try to get them
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: all reps throughout the game, and uh just just happened
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the way the way that it did. That Zach played
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: really well. I thought Canine played really well too. Is
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: just uh just uh just how that game went.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Like Robbie Eats has progressed, you know, his first year
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is a full back.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Uh, just seeing a lot of maturity with him when
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: he first came in here. You know, he's always been
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: a guy that's worked his tail off, you know, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: then he had to say out a few games with
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: with injuries and uh, he just comes back and he
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: improves weekly. Uh just really like his mindset. It's another
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: rookie that was drafted with all the right intangibles. You know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: it just works his tail off, wants to get better.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: He's a physical player with the bright future.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Could him a little bit of tempo that you haven't
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: done it a lot. What what weapons that you have.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: How kind of stretch in your back und Yeah, I
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: think every every week you have you have that part
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: of the part of the game plan and whether or
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: not you use it or not, it's kind of depends
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: on the flow of the game. But our quarterback does
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: a really good job at the line of scrimmage, getting
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: us in and out of plays like that. And I
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: think our guy has done a great job in two
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: minute situations as well, which you're obviously no huddle.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So it's just it's just a part of the toolbox.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's outside of two minutes. Is that on sam or
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: is it calling? Uh?
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: You know, well it's a little bit of both. You know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: we got got some some guidelines. Some weeks you got
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: multiple plays. Some weeks it's called and run it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: To say it's always the same would not be true.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: It's uh, just kind of how the game plan is
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: for that week.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Let's good out to you about John Jones. It's playing,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: but it's two starts.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Asking for just he was ready, you know, when his
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: number was called, he came in and performed well. Was
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: happy with what he did, and that's why we signed
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: him when we brought him here to be the the
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: third tackle.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Like you've seen from Amar Kite, that's made you comfortable
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: having him as a backup swing tackle.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Just his practice performance. You know, he's earned it when
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: he since he came here, he's a he's an ascending player,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: one that we're really excited to continue to develop.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: The big thirty long run. It's a loss of two games.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You have the wonder whether this season get a touchdown
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of thists?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: What kind of boast is after an offense when the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: situation where's like a big there's punt here taking a field.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: When you get the Yeah, you know, kudos to our
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: guys for not you know, not taking that down off
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: you know, third and long and to go make a player,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: have everybody targeted up right in our backs, make a
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: big plays Zach last week.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a huge morale boost in the game.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Keep a drive alive. Play You guys have survived a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: bunch of turnovers this season. But what do you make
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of that? Whatever it is, twenty five for six, that number.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: As a whole, Yeah, it's said, it's not a number
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: that we're proud of at all. Something that we that
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: we're always preaching things that we gotta we got to
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: improve on. Obviously, we want to maximize our possessions and
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: we're giving away points.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Uh when we give the ball away.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: So whether it's decision making, throwing the ball, holding on
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: to it and then protecting our quarterbacks so that we're
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: not you know, getting sack. Phone was it's there's a
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: lot of things that go on there, but something, something's
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: got to get better if we want to be a
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: championship team.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald said it was the earlier in the plays
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that he sees as a systemic reason for the turnovers
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to win. The earlier in the play. What exactly does
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that mean if where do you see them earlier in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the play? Nevee get big?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Uh, Yeah, I think you know, Uh, protections probably comes
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: to mind. I can't speak for for exactly how Mike
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: meant by that, but getting protections right so our quarterback
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: can have clear visions, uh, coaching better and getting the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: quarterback prepared for what he's going to see on a
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: given play.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: You know, to me, it's not one thing. There's there's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a at the end of the day. It's something that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that we have to be have to improve on.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: We've thought of locking from Bastian Mark and Mike kind
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: of receive I think our tight ends have been phenomenal
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: all year. Mac Brown does a great job, our receivers
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: do a phenomenal job. Frisbane Jackson gets them ready to
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: play pass game and run game, and I think that's
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: something that we've preached since April and that our guys
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: have bought into here in the spring.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Did you know Parner would be such a disputing threat
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that he's utunt.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: You know, that's just that's that's on AJ. You know
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: we knew knew the talent. UH really liked to watch
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: him coming out of college. Liked to watch him. We
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: did on film last year. But AJ has made himself
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: into the player that he is. He's a he's a worker,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: an yes, thank you,
