  Speaker 2: support charities and people and loved ones and and causes

  Speaker 2: And I'm proud to represent the I R y R
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: One Foundation.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: They do a lot of great work with a lot
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of rare diseases.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And my nephew, my buddy, has one of those and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: for Muscow distropt Fee it's a pretty rad guy.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Just want to go. He's in town.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It was his birthday yesterday and we took him or
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't go see it, but my wife and his
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: family took him to see Wicked, which he was pretty
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: fired up about. So uh here in town, which is
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: which is really cool. They did a great job, but
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people out there in our support
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and I know a lot of our players are are
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: behind this initiative, and I think this is a really cool,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: really cool opportunity. So I don't think I've ever worn
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: air Force ones before, but Sunday will be the first time.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And Dave said will make the look taller. So that's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: also a positive.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: When it comes to encouraging your players to get active
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: in the community or with passion projects that they have,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: how do you address that or how do you encourage them?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's what a blessing that we have a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: platform that we can affect people positively, and that goes
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: goes to the whole minutes, the whole reason why we're
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: here is we want to affect our city and our
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: state and all of our fans and everybody you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: really across for what I mean, it's just that's the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: whole That's why we do it. That's why you want
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to win games. You want to bring people together. And
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: because we have this awesome platform that and people can
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: take advantage of it, that's a that's a pretty awesome thing.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So and we have great people in the building to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: support all these initiatives and stuff and all of our
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: causes that our players support and they feel passionate about
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and I just think that's just just awesome.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: When you look at the film of the Jets, their record,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I'm sure does not indicate the talent that's on that roster.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: And Aaron Rodgers isn't having the best season. What can
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: he still do as a playmaker.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's we're playing Aaron Rodgers man. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: mean this guy.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think you don't need to say
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: anything else. It's got to lead arm talent. I mean,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it's still able to extend the play.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He knows all the things that are about to happen
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: before they happen. He's in complete control. So that's really
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: that's the thought going into the whole thing, goes.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Into the hard count stuff that he does this week
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: for you, it's a challenge.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: It's hard to you know, it's hard to time things
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: up and the various things. A good bit and has
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: command of it, and he's been he's been around. He
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: knows all the tricks of the trade. So it's gonna
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: be hard to have slight a hand and things like that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: So if we feel like we have an opportunity, we'll
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: try it. But you know, we'll see, but he did.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: He does a great job.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: What's the challenge of their defense.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well, they got really good players, which is which is
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a challenge. They got all three levels and uh, I
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: think they play extremely hard. Their sound they want to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: challenge you, so you got to go earn it, you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and how you play. So I know a few of
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: those guys and know our coaches, know some of their coaches,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So got a lot of respect for what they do.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: It's unique about the way Quinn Williams can affect a quarterback.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Well we've talked about the interior defensive line, but he's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: just so disruptive and uh, it's hard to get those
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: guys doubled all the time. And when you do some
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: things to get multiple people in his direction, then you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: know you're taking away you're adding some stress at others
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: at other points too. So absolutely you got to know
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: where you know, we have a plan for that. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: but it's just different ways. When you're adding, you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: taking away stress in the middle, it's a little difficult,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: more difficult to do and uh, it's a little more
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: unconventional than just like adding chips or things like that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: on the edge.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You feeling about Kobe Bryant winning and defensive players the league.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great news.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Uh, we didn't tell the team today, but we told
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: told the defense and proud of him, and he's got
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a great mentality, he's he's obviously excited about it. But uh,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that was last of his last week, and you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: we'll look back and next year and look back and
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: be proud of it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Right now, we got it. We got work to do.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Three and one on the road, including two wins going east.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: What what do you think is allowed you guys to find
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: success on the rest of far Well, I think you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to say one thing.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You know, it's probably different week to week, but having
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: a mentality and kind of a goal and a togetherness
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: being on the road has helped. And our guys are
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: locked in, you know, I think our all of our
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: ops people kind of make it seamless for us to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: go on the road and our guys know what, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: know what the challenge is each week and you know
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you got to go execute it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And we've done that three out of four times.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So uh, but I mean it's kind of the same
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: story it is at home, and uh, obviously wish our
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: home record was better, but it's an opportunity. We have
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a great opportunity now to go, you know, try to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: get another win and uh, you know, further our our
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: position here down the stretch.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Putting Bradford on. Are is there any more clarity I
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: guess to what his injury is or how Yeah?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it just like he had a high
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: ankle and it was just it was it was a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: pretty severe one. So we felt like it was the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: best thing for us and him to you know, give
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: him the four weeks and then hopefully he's back.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: You said earlier this week that you're gonna take a
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: long look at La Maya.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Is he competing to start or is that going to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: be Christian?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I'd say I'd say that's accurate right now, and so
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: we're working through that. Those guys will split reps throughout
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the week and we haven't decided about how the reps
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: would work on Sunday yet.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: What have you just in general assessing Christian when when
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: he has played this year, you've kind of thought of
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: how he's playing.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think I think Christian has done
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a nice job. And this again, this is not like
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a hey, Christian can't go do the job. We just
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: saw him go play really good football for us uh
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: in you know, in reliever duty for a b this
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: past week. But Satal is a guy that we're really
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: excited about as well. And so now there's an opportunity
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: where he can gain some more reps throughout the week,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and he's been kind of making some progress and we're
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: later in the year now, so let's see what Let's
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: see what he can do.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: What's it like for a guy like him that hasn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: been active for a game yet this late to a
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: season now getting this opportunity and having a chance to
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: work and ramp up.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And with them a little bit. It's not out of
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the ordinary from my perspective. I mean, it's just how
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: we're how we roll. It's like guys are you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: they earn opportunities in practice and you should be confident
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that you've had all these reps that you're standing on
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and uh, we'll see how again, we're not sure how
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the reps are going to work out on Sunday, But
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: when he's out there, let's go rock and roll. Man,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: go do all the things you've been doing in practice
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this whole time. So he should be really excited.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: When you've done that with Kobe Bryant and Cody White,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Josh Joe, guys who have impressed you in practice.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: During playing time.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you look in that in those practices?
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: What stands out and especially when they're moving maybe scout team.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's a difference in when when people
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: say like making plays, you know, people think of like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you know, you're making tackles or picks or whatever.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: It's just just.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Constantly doing the right things all the time. So it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: taking the right footwork. It's you know, how we're playing,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: it's how we're you know, the the A blocks, the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: B blocks, all the blocks that we're doing, all the slips,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: like how he handles them on one as energy know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: one has assignments obviously you're looking at like the physical
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: capabilities as well. So it's all those things together and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: it's not to add any pressure anything on anybody, but
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: like this is the NFL, it's the highest level. You
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: got to bring it every day. I think we do
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a great job of bringing competition to practice where you're
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: gonna sharpen each other if you have that mentality. So
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we're not just rolling the ball out there, and we're
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: continuously trying to get better, and the best guys than
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: our player, the best should get opportunities to play. Like
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: before the last couple weeks, I think you guys are
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: averaging almost nine penalties a game, but in the last
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: two weeks, I think it's nine total.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Which what has allowed you to play cleaner football?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Is it playing together more, knowing the assignments more. Yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I think it's all the above.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Some couple of tweaks made at the bye about how
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: we're operating, and I think that's helped how we're coaching
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it throughout the week. We get a couple of things
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: at practice too. You know, there's any time you're trying
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: to find solutions these things you don't know. So you
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: know me, I'm a tinkerer, So well we'll go. It's
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: like my day in his golf swing. You just got
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to go, h gotta try stuff, man, and so some
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: things work, some things don't, and then you just kind.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Of build off of it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: But the guys deserve a lot of credit too, I
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: mean really deserve all the credit. I mean it's it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: as a point of emphasis, we've done it well enough
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: for two games but again you're still chasing it. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: mean there's still plays on there where we had opportunities
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: from maybe some explosive plays or keep drives going, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: those are unforced errors, and those are the ones we're
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: trying to eliminate the cost of doing business stuff, you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to a certain extent. You know, that's why the numbers
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: kind of fluctuate back and forth. But you're looking at
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: kind of the totality of the whole thing.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I think on Monday used the phrase ballfight his energy.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, talking about.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: What does that mean?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Well, it's actually that's from Tom Crean, who's John Harbaugh's
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: his brother in law and a great basketball coach, great guy,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: great human. But he he had that saying about his
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: basketball team. I thought it was really cool. Can you
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: imagine a basketball team people moving without the ball and
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: you know, playing for one another unselfishly and the ball
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: finds them if they play the right way. If it's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: just static and everybody's just staring around, you know, standing around,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: then that's not that's not good.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Basketball and football is the same way.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: If you play the right way, you play with energy,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: you play you play team football, You run to the rock,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: you block your tail off. You know, you follow the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: runner down the field, finishing a dominant position, all those things.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, there's just a spirit to it that,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you know, the ball just kind of the ball should
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: bounce your way more often than not. What kind of
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: challenges breis Hall present as a runner and pass catcher.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Out of the backfield.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Well, we showed the guys today.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I mean it's got I'm breaking breakaway speed and he
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: runs with power, and he runs us how we run
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: some of their tracks is not unique, but just like
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: kind of unique to his running style. So it's something
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: that we have to do a great job preparing for
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: throughout the week. But his run after the catch and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: his breakaway ability is dangerous. So again it's anytime we
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: play great players every week. You have a kind of
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a different plan of attack each week. But you know
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: it's going to take all eleven. We've got to take
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: great angles, we got to tackle sound, we got to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: get to the ball.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Coach can talk.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: About the running backs role and getting the running game going.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: A lot of focus on the offensive line and blocking there,
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: but about picking the right gaps and and actually hitting
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: it as designed versus you know, improvising.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I just think.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's easy to say the running game, the run
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: game is purely falls on the offensive line line shoulders,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: which is not true.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: It's all eleven. It's how we design it as coaches
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and how.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: We call it, it's how we coach it up, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: then it's how well we execute.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: It's all together. And it's the same thing on defense.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: You know, it's easy to point fingers and guys that
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: are in the proximity of the ball, but you don't.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: It's hard to know all the things that are going
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: into it. So it's a team mentality. So I think
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: anytime you're not in a spot that you want to be,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: if everyone has the approach of taking respect possibility for
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: their area and making sure that they're on on point,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: then that's how you're gonna grow. So uh, and those
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: guys are the ones toting it. We got great ones.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: So but they're they're they're part of the equation too.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: They're part of the solution as well.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Who's the better golfer between you and you're dead?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately he's probably beat me too many times, but right
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: now he is. I've played like once this.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Year, said this before about Tyre, like you're not rook anymore.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, at what point does that apply to your rooks?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You know when you see it.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I mean technically it's your fourth game of your second year.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: That's the that's the that's the going role. But you
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: kind of know when you see it. But yeah, I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: mean it's a certain point you can't you can't be
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I mean we're in like the home stretch here. I
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: mean we we need him at playing his best football
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and keep growing and keep doing things he's doing. So
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: really just a vote of confidence, hey man, Like you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: let's go one of.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Us, the Byron Santa if he has to play.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a per person case basis. It's the art here.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: It's not like a science give up with fourth game
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the second year and why that's just that's just from
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: people that I've worked with. Makes sense. You can't give
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: them too much credit. You get at them, make earn
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it for that defense to.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Be physical, How important is it for an offense to
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: be physical?
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Is there a certain physicality that needs to be there
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: to run game finish?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a This is a violent, physical game
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to our football team. In order to win football games,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: especially late in the year, you gotta be a you
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: gotta be a violent, physical team. See that involves moving
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: people against their will. I mean it's just like some
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: physical you know, some real stuff and uh, you gotta
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: be able to do that stuff, you know, offense, defense,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: special teams.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: So part of what makes the game so great.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: On the on the flip side of guys like Josh,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Kobe Cody, you have guys like Dreek, Trey someone maybe
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: to some extent not full time no more, because what
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: are you learned about some of those guys who's playing
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: time has been reduced.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Because of guys step.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Man, we got we got awesome guys that they we
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: got awesome guys. I mean again, anytime your when your
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: role is reduced or it's not exactly what you want,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's still a really significant role. And those
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: guys are the ones that you mentioned, I mean, off
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the top of your head, just they deserve a ton
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: of credit.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I mean you watch you watch Trey Brown play special
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: teams for us. This guy plays talk about energy, this
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: guy plays hard and he's flying around and doing a
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: lot of great things for us. And we got a
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: lot of confidence for you know, whenever his time shows
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: up again, which it will at some point on defense
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: that he's going to be ready to rock. He's preparing
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: his tail off ray being able to go down and
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: play diamond nickel. It's not an easy thing to do,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: you know, coming off and in injury, not having all
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: those reps and then go do at a high level. Is
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: it just makes the team better. So I'm I'm proud
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: of those guys and their mentality.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Along some of the lines I think Greb had mentioned
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: too us like Connor coming in and then nearly coming
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: the guy had kind of grabs a little fire for
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: lack of letters under Olu, and he kind of used
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: as a spring work for maybe why he's playing better
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: than he was and like August or something, did you
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: since that in Olu as will and maybe why he's
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: playing what he is.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I can just speak to Olu's approach since the season,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: you know, really started, and since maybe it might have
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: been maybe the catalyst behind it. I can't speak for him,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: but I know this, he put a lot of time
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: and practices stacked on top of one another where he
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: became a guy that you you know, you had to notice,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, he had to take account for him. Unfortunately,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: only put five guys out at a time, but it
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: was that, you know, that's that's kind of that was
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the sense of optimism when everything kind of went down
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, where it was like, okay, like
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: these guys earn't an opportunity, it's an unconventioned away for
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the opportunity to come alive.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: But uh, let's let's go.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: When Michael Dison punts kind of the way he did
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: in that game, how much an advantage is that? I mean,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: I guess it's obvious, but when you feel it in
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: a game like that that's.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Kind of a defensive well, field position is always really
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: really important. And uh, when you play again a team
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: like the Cardinals that possessed the ball and there's it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a low possession game, then you know, be able to
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: tilt field position becomes even more of a premium. So
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I thought, he probably punt is probably his best performance
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: year to date, So he deserves to get a lot
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: of credit on that front.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: As someone who knows both guys, what do you think
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: of the hardball hole.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: This is tough to get a lot of work done
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: during that I was watching watching in the background, but
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: both teams are in a great position they do great me.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I stand on both, love both those guys
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and George Fan. Do you know if he has a
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: chance to be back this season. There's a chance, there's
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a chance, but we'll see right now.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: What did you speak of Harbora the fourth and one call?
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: What did you think when you saw that? The one
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: deep in the guts?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think we'll be making that right now.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: What kind of workload do you expect for Chenna this week?
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Today, I mean this is a ramp portion, so today
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: will be limited and we'll go from there.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Ay else, thank you, Okay, thank you,
