• 0:02
  Speaker 1: He's doing better progressing probably a long shot, you know,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: for this game at this point.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Not that not that this Sunday's game is not important,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: because it is, but does also having a waiting you
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: next week is that factor into it a little bit too?
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Because no, no, no, no, we're focused on this game
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: obviously in the moment, stay in the moment. And you know,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in our business, you worry about next week, next week.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how have you seen the guys sort of respond
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: in practice and meetings things like that.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I just think that they're, you know, obviously nothing out
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of the ordinary. Probably maybe a little more attentive, a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: little more focused.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: I just think it's because of.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: The way we played, you know, and and you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you're only as good as your last game. Then they
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: understand that and and that wasn't very good, so you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: things you don't have to say a lot as a coach.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I think they just understand, you know that when you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: when you play bad, you know, you got six days
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: or so seven days before you go again, so you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: got a lot of time to think about You learn
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: About your team and how they respond to those kinds
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: of games.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Certainly, certainly, and and it's just that how you respond.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Right, good or bad.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And you know our our history together has been good
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: obviously after after games of that nature. But you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we got a good, good Tennessee team coming in here.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It's again, it's one of those you don't worry about records.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It's a matter of just execution, and we've got to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: execute better.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Ask your some players said that you showed them a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: video to kind of teach them about the history of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the rivalry. Did you do anything to bring the younger players,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the newcomers up.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The speedy I need to express to the players not
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to leak information to you guys, No, I did not.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Another quarterback goes down last night. Forty six misstarts at
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the quarterback position this season. We got ten rookies already
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: start games. Fluke or is there? These guys are just
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: in more harms way than ever before having played the position.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: It's not a fluke.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You know, defensive rushers are getting faster, leaner, quicker. I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: also think you're seeing injuries at offensive line, and so
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you're playing you know, sometimes your second, third, or even
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: fourth guy you know that doesn't have and it's nothing
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: against them, they just don't have that experience obviously, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: so you know, we know it's a violent sport. We
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: try to do everything we can by rule number one
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and by protection to protect the quarterback. And sometimes, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: sometimes they're going to be exposed, obviously, especially when they're
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they're runners or they're their mobile you know, and and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: can move around and it's you know, you don't ever
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: want to see it, obviously, it can. It can definitely, uh,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know, affect your affect your team moving forward.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And this this is a we're doing all we can
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: to keep them safe, Like would you like to see
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: any more? Or this is like a maximum.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Listen, this is football, and and of course you know
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I played, and we grew up in a generation where
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: there was less restrictions on quarterbacks, right the hits and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: different things.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: So I think we're maxed on the.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Amount of rules you know, on on on hits on quarterbacks.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I think we can maybe.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Use help, meaning if there's cameras in stadiums and things
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: replays all that, But that's for another discussion obviously, But
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I think there's enough in place right now.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: You still have to go play.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I think you said Earli week, you're not gonna do
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: anything different, preparation wise or anything in terms of what
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you always do. Is there any value to shaking something
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: up in a situation, you know, after a loss like.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: That, just to it's one loss.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You know, we we were five out of six in
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: our last uh our, last you know, six games.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm a big believer too.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: You you just don't change to change or shake something up,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to shake something up, you know. I just think it's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it's each person, each man, it's each coach doing their
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: jobs better. You know, I'm I need to do my
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: job better and preparing the football team. So you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'll do it if I had to, But I just
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: don't think in this case anything like that needs to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: be you know, it needs to be done.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: With Tyson being a long shot.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: What kind of opportunity is this for Gregory Junior or
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a guy who maybe hasn't played a ton in his
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: first two years. It's good for him, It's good for
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you know, Monterre again, you know, great opportunity for him.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He's I think both of those guys now have played,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you know, greg last week had a chance to go
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in you know, for for Tyson and again Monterret coming
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: back in getting another opportunity. So a lot of confidence
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: with those two guys. They keep growing with the defense,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and it just, uh, you know, as as your backup
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: guys play more right, it just gives you a little
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: more a little more depth, a little more confidence in
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and not only in us in them, but them and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: their their preparation and play.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: H
