Mike Macdonald: "We're Going To Be Resilient" · Seahawks Press Pass

0:01
Speaker 1: All right, good to see every buddy again. I just
0:08
Speaker 1: got off the radio show sometime trying to like, do
0:10
Speaker 1: I give you new stuff or did you guys hear it?
0:12
Speaker 1: And I'm not really sure, but obviously it's a disappointing loss.
0:17
Speaker 1: You know, three in a row on the short week.
0:21
Speaker 1: We had such a great opportunity and in a great environment.
0:24
Speaker 1: I thought, our fans that have did a phenomenal job,
0:26
Speaker 1: is such an awesome We do such a great job
0:28
Speaker 1: at home and our fans are they're loud, man, they
0:32
Speaker 1: do a great job. And in the middle of the game,
0:33
Speaker 1: but we thought, you know, when we were making the
0:35
Speaker 1: push that coming back, there's a lot of great energy
0:37
Speaker 1: in the in the in the stadium.
0:39
Speaker 2: Our guys were into it. And uh.
0:43
Speaker 1: And just you know, had didn't have our opportunities to
0:45
Speaker 1: win the game at the end. But we're falling short
0:47
Speaker 1: as a team right now. But right now, like we
0:50
Speaker 1: said last night, we get there's this is a heck
0:52
Speaker 1: of an opportunity to have an extra couple of days
0:54
Speaker 1: to really come up with a great plan of attack
0:57
Speaker 1: and and uh and let's go forward, man, I mean
1:01
Speaker 1: we I got told the team last night. We have
1:03
Speaker 1: the players we have the guys in the locker room
1:04
Speaker 1: to become the team we want to be, and uh,
1:07
Speaker 1: there might be some decisions on where we move them
1:09
Speaker 1: and how we're using guys and kind of everything's.
1:11
Speaker 2: On the table right now.
1:12
Speaker 1: So that's what that's what the next couple of days
1:14
Speaker 1: are for as a coaching staff, and let's come up
1:16
Speaker 1: with a great plan of attack and go to work
1:18
Speaker 1: on Monday.
1:19
Speaker 3: What doxt few days look like for you of the coaches, Like,
1:21
Speaker 3: how do you use this time?
1:23
Speaker 1: Uh, well, watch it, watch the tape independently this morning
1:26
Speaker 1: before before the nine thirty with Brock and Salt, and
1:30
Speaker 1: then we'll get together here after this and really just
1:34
Speaker 1: let's go through it with a fine tooth comb. Let's
1:36
Speaker 1: have some uh you know, discussions on on where we
1:39
Speaker 1: believe we are. We're gonna do a lot of like
1:41
Speaker 1: some self scout stuff and really digest the numbers, and
1:44
Speaker 1: then let's come up with a plan of attack and
1:46
Speaker 1: things we need to work on. And uh, that'll be
1:49
Speaker 1: over the next two days and then and then Monday
1:51
Speaker 1: will be Uh we'll be with the guys, so I'll
1:54
Speaker 1: be in here and go attack the plan.
1:57
Speaker 4: Might the film tell you about yesterday.
2:01
Speaker 2: I think it.
2:02
Speaker 1: I think it kind of confirmed what we talked about
2:04
Speaker 1: after the game. It's in right now. It's it's it's
2:07
Speaker 1: where we are as a football team. There's a there's
2:09
Speaker 1: things that are are really good that that we can
2:12
Speaker 1: build off of foundationally, effort wise, physicality, uh, intent, energy wise,
2:19
Speaker 1: all that, all that is positive, but there's there's too
2:22
Speaker 1: many things right now that are are costing us football games.
2:25
Speaker 2: That we can't do.
2:27
Speaker 1: But take uh the takeaway differential, uh, mistackles and explosive
2:31
Speaker 1: plays on defense, some decisions we're making in the return game,
2:37
Speaker 1: all the all those things are are what we what
2:39
Speaker 1: we felt like leaving leaving the stadium last night.
2:42
Speaker 5: Mike on the radio, you know my repeating this, you said,
2:45
Speaker 5: when we make big mistakes, when I'm living to fight
2:47
Speaker 5: another day. I wondering if you expand on.
2:49
Speaker 2: That, I didn't. Sure.
2:50
Speaker 1: Well, takeaways of the first thing. So as soon as
2:52
Speaker 1: you you know, as soon as you give the ball away,
2:54
Speaker 1: then the other team has the ball. So that's that's uh,
2:58
Speaker 1: that's that's the easiest one. And then defensively, look, mistakes
3:02
Speaker 1: are going to happen. You're trying to minimize them. Guys,
3:05
Speaker 1: aren't going to play a perfect game for sixty five plays.
3:09
Speaker 1: But when that happens, you've got to be able to
3:11
Speaker 1: get it on the ground. So you got to be
3:12
Speaker 1: able to tackle guys in space, take proper angles, get
3:15
Speaker 1: off blocks, pursuit from the backside. All those things can help,
3:19
Speaker 1: you know, get the runner down. But you know, last
3:22
Speaker 1: night we we had we had two big, two big
3:25
Speaker 1: ones that really hurt us.
3:26
Speaker 3: Have you experienced similar growing pains in previous installs of
3:30
Speaker 3: this defense or is it different maybe because of injuries
3:33
Speaker 3: on the personnel side.
3:35
Speaker 2: I think it's it's all independent.
3:37
Speaker 1: But the spirit of of how you kind of work
3:39
Speaker 1: through it is just that is the mentality of just attack.
3:43
Speaker 1: I told the guys last week, you get two options.
3:45
Speaker 1: You can give up and say okay, like we're never
3:47
Speaker 1: going to play again, never win another game, or we
3:49
Speaker 1: can go back to work and just and go through
3:51
Speaker 1: these things in these tough times. And so I know
3:55
Speaker 1: one way, you know, and our team's going to know
3:57
Speaker 1: one way, and and that's what we're going to do.
4:00
Speaker 1: And and it goes with like having tough conversations and
4:04
Speaker 1: and honest conversations and tweaking some of your systems and
4:07
Speaker 1: a lot of the process that gets you some of
4:09
Speaker 1: these these results, but these this is a little independent.
4:13
Speaker 1: Every team's every team is a new team. It's all
4:16
Speaker 1: new guys. But that's the thought behind it kind of.
4:21
Speaker 6: Remove some of the two minute drolls and the late
4:23
Speaker 6: catch up drives that you have on offense. How do
4:25
Speaker 6: you feel about the balance that your offense has right now?
4:29
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think we've made strides. It's we
4:32
Speaker 1: were more balanced yesterday than we were probably the week before,
4:38
Speaker 1: and I think it is going to vary from week
4:39
Speaker 1: to week. I think the tempo stuff that we're able
4:41
Speaker 1: to get to is a weapon for us. It is
4:43
Speaker 1: a little bit unique to the rest of the league
4:45
Speaker 1: that gives us an advantage. So that's something that we're
4:48
Speaker 1: going to still want to take advantage. It doesn't mean
4:49
Speaker 1: you're going at breakneck speed. You can still control some
4:52
Speaker 1: of the tempo and our operation into the huddle. I
4:55
Speaker 1: think that's something that we're going to be looking at
4:57
Speaker 1: on on how well we're you know, producing in those
5:00
Speaker 1: situations too.
5:02
Speaker 3: I know you said that the interceptions were kind of
5:04
Speaker 3: team interceptions and all that. Independent of that, what did
5:06
Speaker 3: you what do you think of DK that cast game
5:08
Speaker 3: and just you know, I think you had a lot
5:09
Speaker 3: of targets and three three receptions and it turned out well.
5:13
Speaker 5: There.
5:13
Speaker 1: I think there is a couple where if you were
5:15
Speaker 1: to ask DK probably felt like you should have came
5:17
Speaker 1: down with. And then we're again, we're looking at it
5:20
Speaker 1: if you look at it like macro, Hey, we have
5:23
Speaker 1: the we have the end to end, the end of half,
5:26
Speaker 1: you know, seven ball in the corner where he makes
5:28
Speaker 1: a heck of a catch, and then we're looking at
5:30
Speaker 1: an inch that's seven points compared to kittles and inches
5:35
Speaker 1: in the I mean, you know this isn't.
5:37
Speaker 2: It helps it put in perspective.
5:39
Speaker 1: It's it's yeah, we're not there, but it's there's opportunities
5:42
Speaker 1: where it might not be as far away as we think.
5:45
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
5:46
Speaker 1: And then uh, and then we have the opportunity for
5:48
Speaker 1: him on on the on the deep ball where we
5:51
Speaker 1: had the illegal the illegal uh formation. So hey, stay
5:56
Speaker 1: in it, man, like keep fighting this guy. This guy
5:58
Speaker 1: is a great player. He's playing great football for us
6:00
Speaker 1: on the whole. And uh, the targets are going to
6:03
Speaker 1: come your way and he's gonna make them when when
6:05
Speaker 1: we get it to him, think he's missing in.
6:07
Speaker 3: And out of the huddle because it seems like you're
6:08
Speaker 3: getting to the line of scrimmage with with plenty of time,
6:10
Speaker 3: in fact, time enough for for Gina change plays and recoverages.
6:13
Speaker 3: So what's missing?
6:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm not sure. I mean that those are
6:17
Speaker 1: the things where we want to we want to go
6:20
Speaker 1: to look at and we're doing, like operation wise, we're good,
6:22
Speaker 1: but hey, the intent of how we take the huddle,
6:25
Speaker 1: and I think that I think we can look at
6:26
Speaker 1: that just to give Geno the extra time that we
6:29
Speaker 1: need to see and get some of those just make
6:32
Speaker 1: sure we're on the right thing all the time and
6:34
Speaker 1: we get everything targeted and how we're calling it. All
6:38
Speaker 1: those things are are up for debate right now. But
6:42
Speaker 1: we're doing, We're doing, we are doing some good things
6:44
Speaker 1: out of the huddle. We really are. I just to me,
6:46
Speaker 1: just like rattle off all the details right now. I
6:48
Speaker 1: just don't have that information.
6:50
Speaker 4: You learn about people through adversity. Talk about players or
6:55
Speaker 4: coaches that maybe have stood at to you in a
6:57
Speaker 4: positive way during this tough time.
7:00
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of our guys are Leslie
7:02
Speaker 1: Frasier is is a is a big resource NCO Thorpe Man,
7:08
Speaker 1: guy's a stud brought them down on the sideline last night,
7:12
Speaker 1: brought some great energy for us.
7:14
Speaker 2: Uh, We've got a lot of people that.
7:15
Speaker 1: Are doing a great job and and get and when
7:17
Speaker 1: things aren't going right, guys are so competitive and there's
7:21
Speaker 1: there's a spirit to the team and like, yeah, people
7:23
Speaker 1: get frustrated and and my messages guys say just it's
7:26
Speaker 1: it's okay to have it be emotional. We want to
7:28
Speaker 1: be an emotional team that lives on the line in
7:32
Speaker 1: these high intense situations. Uh. But also let's let's keep
7:36
Speaker 1: our composure and let's stick together, which I think we're
7:38
Speaker 1: doing a great job of. So all that stuff, all
7:42
Speaker 1: all those ingredients are are there, and it's just about
7:46
Speaker 1: kind of cooking it the right way right now, and
7:47
Speaker 1: let's make sure we're let's make sure we're putting our
7:50
Speaker 1: best foot forward.
7:51
Speaker 3: You mentioned on the on the radio show too, that
7:52
Speaker 3: the you're writing defense right now is that you're kind
7:56
Speaker 3: of completely stopping on them or it's becoming these huge plays. Yeah,
7:58
Speaker 3: I guess what is it is simple as fixing the
8:00
Speaker 3: fundamental mistakes there is or something else you gotta do
8:03
Speaker 3: to kind of.
8:03
Speaker 1: Prevent that from happening, or yeah, well, well, like I
8:06
Speaker 1: said that, it's it's either it's hard to be like, hey,
8:08
Speaker 1: it's just just one it's not just one thing. You know,
8:10
Speaker 1: you can't just it's just one thing. You just be Okay,
8:14
Speaker 1: we'll just hit the one thing button and we'll get
8:16
Speaker 1: it fixed, and that's it. So it's but if you
8:18
Speaker 1: do think about just football in general, if you do
8:21
Speaker 1: create explosive plays, either you're getting beat one on one
8:23
Speaker 1: down the field, which right now that's not happening, or uh,
8:28
Speaker 1: it's mistackles and angles and so there's you know, there's
8:31
Speaker 1: creating lanes where guys can can run into your defense
8:34
Speaker 1: unimpeed or run through your defense unimpeeded, which there's just
8:37
Speaker 1: too many of those right now. So you know that's
8:41
Speaker 1: something that we're gonna we're gonna attack.
8:43
Speaker 2: Would you think that the.
8:44
Speaker 3: Pass rush over you know you weren't able to sack him,
8:47
Speaker 3: got close to you times a we get away?
8:49
Speaker 2: How do you kind of feel that stare recently? Well,
8:52
Speaker 2: he's really elusive.
8:53
Speaker 1: I thought, uh, I would have loved for us to
8:56
Speaker 1: finish better yesterday, especially when we had some runs at
8:59
Speaker 1: the quarterback where we probably could have pretty get him
9:01
Speaker 1: on the ground, but he is an elusive dude back there,
9:05
Speaker 1: so we got to give him his credit to start with.
9:08
Speaker 1: And yesterday I felt like we probably rushed better than
9:11
Speaker 1: we did the New York game. The numbers don't really
9:13
Speaker 1: show it, but we're also again, we actually did create
9:17
Speaker 1: some more rush opportunities yesterday than we did in the
9:20
Speaker 1: in the game before. So it's about maximizing those opportunities,
9:26
Speaker 1: creating as many as you can, and then when you
9:28
Speaker 1: do get it, let's go to work and do the
9:30
Speaker 1: things we know how to do. So let's keep moving
9:34
Speaker 1: forward in that direction.
9:35
Speaker 3: Did you have any more any more word on Trade
9:37
Speaker 3: Brown or Already Burns their situations?
9:40
Speaker 1: No, I got I've had no in literally had no
9:42
Speaker 1: info this morning on any really anybody Byron Murphy.
9:46
Speaker 3: Are you hoping he can make it back by the.
9:48
Speaker 1: Atlanta game or I'm hoping I'm hoping. Yeah, I think
9:52
Speaker 1: I don't have a timetable for you, but I'd be
9:56
Speaker 1: optimistic this week. I think we'll see. We'll see so
9:59
Speaker 1: early right now.
10:01
Speaker 6: Do you think the the tempo or maybe when you're
10:05
Speaker 6: not going tempo.
10:05
Speaker 2: There's a click this way?
10:06
Speaker 5: Is anything to some of the.
10:07
Speaker 6: Procedural stuff on offense, the penalties there, legal motion, all
10:11
Speaker 6: starts and things like that that you guys have had
10:13
Speaker 6: to see.
10:15
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think we gotta be better.
10:17
Speaker 1: We gotta be more on the same page from the
10:19
Speaker 1: center and the quarterback on some of the snap issues.
10:21
Speaker 1: So that's something that's that's shown up multiple times. And
10:25
Speaker 1: then the procedure wise, it's it's a good lesson learned.
10:28
Speaker 1: We gotta get we gotta get set and when we
10:30
Speaker 1: take the line, because they're gonna call it, you know,
10:32
Speaker 1: so there's a there's less of a grace period right
10:35
Speaker 1: now than there is then there has been probably in
10:38
Speaker 1: weeks past.
10:38
Speaker 2: And look, those are the rules.
10:40
Speaker 1: So you gotta you gotta get lined up right and
10:43
Speaker 1: making sure you're operating the same way. When you're a
10:45
Speaker 1: team that moves and shakes the way that we do
10:47
Speaker 1: and shifts some motions, which is an asset for us,
10:50
Speaker 1: We've got to make sure we're taking advantage of how
10:52
Speaker 1: we're able to operate too, So we should be cleaner
10:55
Speaker 1: on that front.
10:57
Speaker 4: What are the parts of this team that are closest
10:58
Speaker 4: to being great?
11:01
Speaker 2: What are the parts of this team?
11:03
Speaker 1: Uh, I think in order to be great, like I
11:07
Speaker 1: think it starts with a with a solid foundation. And
11:10
Speaker 1: I think when when you probably outside the New York game,
11:14
Speaker 1: the effort and the physicality and the stot and and
11:17
Speaker 1: the intent of how we're playing is there. And so
11:21
Speaker 1: that's the that's the reason to be optimistic. And and
11:23
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, like, we're gonna get there. It's
11:27
Speaker 1: we're gonna get there. We're gonna get to the point
11:28
Speaker 1: we want to be. I think our guys are are
11:31
Speaker 1: are bought in and and they're convinced convinced to it,
11:34
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be part of the solution. And uh,
11:38
Speaker 1: it's my job and the coaches job to make it
11:40
Speaker 1: come to life.
11:41
Speaker 2: So we're gonna be resilient, We're gonna we're gonna try.
11:45
Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna we're just gonna do it. At
11:46
Speaker 2: some point it's gonna happen. I hope it's this week.
11:49
Speaker 1: Uh, but we're just we got the guys and then
11:52
Speaker 1: resolved to h to make it come to life.
11:55
Speaker 6: How did you feel the second level of different responded
11:58
Speaker 6: just kind of mentioned them earlier in the.
12:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, it's I think I think it's I think
12:03
Speaker 1: it's in like, like what we were saying earlier, it's
12:06
Speaker 1: it's a lot of great things, but the variance is
12:09
Speaker 1: too high. So a lot of great plays on tape, However,
12:13
Speaker 1: when when we're not doing it the way we need
12:16
Speaker 1: to do it, the balls getting out, and so those
12:19
Speaker 1: are the things we need we need to eliminate.
12:21
Speaker 5: Build that consistency to live in such a variant. Do
12:24
Speaker 5: you then look at how you're going to practice? Is
12:28
Speaker 5: that part of it?
12:28
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Yeah, absolutely yeah.
12:34
Speaker 1: It's it's a process over result, right, That's just that's
12:36
Speaker 1: one of our core philosophies here. And so anytime you're
12:40
Speaker 1: not getting the results you want, you can't blame it
12:43
Speaker 1: on the results. You gotta you gotta go back to, hey,
12:44
Speaker 1: what what's the inputs? What are the systems behind it?
12:48
Speaker 1: All that stuff is up for discussion both fastest.
12:52
Speaker 6: How you felt like your front line is played on
12:54
Speaker 6: offense for one game.
12:55
Speaker 1: Pass, Well, I think I think that again with the
12:59
Speaker 1: whole team. I think the fighting, I think they're playing
13:01
Speaker 1: really hard. Uh, that's stuff to build off of, that
13:07
Speaker 1: stuff to build off of. And then and then I
13:09
Speaker 1: think as a team, we're putting them in too many
13:11
Speaker 1: situations where like, just like we want to be on defense,
13:15
Speaker 1: we want to be in situations where we can pin
13:17
Speaker 1: our ears back in rush rush, rush, But right now
13:19
Speaker 1: we're in too many situations as an offense where we're
13:22
Speaker 1: letting Uh. You know, we're in this obvious past situation.
13:26
Speaker 1: So as a team, we can help our offensive line out.
13:30
Speaker 4: We're anticipating any reinforcements starting with Abe Lucas coming soon.
13:38
Speaker 2: Uh.
13:39
Speaker 1: I'd still there's still not a definite timeline with Abe.
13:42
Speaker 1: Obviously we haven't we haven't designated to return, so uh,
13:46
Speaker 1: this week would be out of the question, but hopefully
13:48
Speaker 1: it's soon.
13:50
Speaker 3: How did you do the running backs? How did you
13:51
Speaker 3: feel like?
13:51
Speaker 5: Didn't?
13:53
Speaker 2: I thought the guys ran hard. Uh, a lot of
13:56
Speaker 2: the after catch up, It's good to see.
13:58
Speaker 1: The screen game get going with both backs, So again,
14:01
Speaker 1: guys to build off. These guys are dynamite players that
14:05
Speaker 1: play the right way. Did some great stuff in the
14:08
Speaker 1: protection game and some of the chips and things we're
14:10
Speaker 1: asking him to do. So I think those guys are
14:13
Speaker 1: playing really well right now.
14:14
Speaker 2: What do you think of the past coverage?
14:15
Speaker 4: You're ended up down several quarnerbacks by the end of
14:17
Speaker 4: the night.
14:18
Speaker 5: I kind of feel that held up.
14:19
Speaker 2: With everything you're doing well.
14:21
Speaker 1: We had we had a couple uh miscues back there
14:24
Speaker 1: which were we're tough to tough to get through, but
14:26
Speaker 1: in those situations were still we still should be able
14:28
Speaker 1: to get the guy on the ground in those situations.
14:31
Speaker 1: But when when we were in man situations, shoot, I
14:33
Speaker 1: thought our guys battled battle, their their their tails off
14:37
Speaker 1: and covered.
14:37
Speaker 2: Well.
14:38
Speaker 1: You know, when it's an operation like that where it's
14:40
Speaker 1: all condensed and it's moving fast and you've got to
14:42
Speaker 1: communicate make sure on different levels, that's easier said than done.
14:45
Speaker 1: So our guys were on point for the most part
14:48
Speaker 1: on that type of stuff. So, uh, they did a
14:50
Speaker 1: good job when we're in man and man situations already, in.
14:52
Speaker 3: Particular, is the first game he's got to play. I
14:54
Speaker 3: know he left in dripple, what'd you think in the time.
14:56
Speaker 1: He was in there.
14:57
Speaker 2: It's good to have already out there.
14:58
Speaker 1: Gives you some flexibility to play some nickel in outside corner.
15:02
Speaker 1: And felt like he made a couple of plays that
15:05
Speaker 1: were helpful for us.
15:06
Speaker 2: And then there's a couple of plays too.
15:07
Speaker 1: It just kind of like the rest of the defense
15:09
Speaker 1: to say, there's some opportunities there where I feel like
15:12
Speaker 1: you know, being back and maybe knocking the rust off.
15:14
Speaker 2: He can make those plays next time.
15:16
Speaker 6: Is there a lot of communication required, like after Tyrell
15:19
Speaker 6: tells the guys that played, is there a lot that
15:20
Speaker 6: needs to go on after that?
15:22
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely.
15:23
Speaker 1: We gotta set the front. We got to know where
15:26
Speaker 1: people are lined up in certain calls. You know, you're
15:28
Speaker 1: making calls on both sides of the formation. Certain calls,
15:31
Speaker 1: it's just one call and go, And as a coach,
15:35
Speaker 1: you're saying, Okay, how much, how much is it?
15:37
Speaker 2: How much is too much? How much? How simple can
15:39
Speaker 2: you be?
15:39
Speaker 1: You're always trying to be as simple as you possibly
15:41
Speaker 1: can be and not one bit simpler to Ninstein quote.
15:47
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's really the thought. But I mean,
15:50
Speaker 1: at some point you're gonna have to adjust once the
15:52
Speaker 1: offense comes out and leaves the huddle.
15:53
Speaker 2: For sure, that's impacting the run game or what's going
15:56
Speaker 2: on there.
15:56
Speaker 1: But we're in the right stuff. We're communicating cleanly right now.
16:02
Speaker 1: It's it's uh, it's all eleven, man. I do I
16:06
Speaker 1: really wish I could just be like, it's this scheme
16:09
Speaker 1: in this front with this coverage, We'll never call that
16:12
Speaker 1: again and we'll never get up another explosive run.
16:14
Speaker 2: It's just like, I just it's just not that way.
16:17
Speaker 2: It's not that way.
16:18
Speaker 3: Was there much discussion or of the fourth down right
16:20
Speaker 3: before halftime when you kick.
16:21
Speaker 1: A going forward there, Yeah, that was a that was
16:24
Speaker 1: a discussion. We felt like points in that situation was
16:26
Speaker 1: really important. And I mean, look, we had three great
16:29
Speaker 1: looks at it to uh to get the touchdown. So
16:32
Speaker 1: we felt like the field goal put us in best
16:34
Speaker 1: position to go win three.
16:36
Speaker 4: Games that aren't really up to your standard, but you
16:39
Speaker 4: had a chance to win in the fourth quarter of
16:41
Speaker 4: all of them, two against Super Bowl, you know, favorites. Ye,
16:45
Speaker 4: you take anything from that for the team.
16:48
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
16:49
Speaker 1: Look, we're I mean, as frustrating as it is, and
16:51
Speaker 1: as it hurts right after the game, you're like, it stings, man,
16:55
Speaker 1: it's like hard to you know, you're really just you
16:57
Speaker 1: feel like you you have the city, you know, you're
16:59
Speaker 1: just you're just kind of you're bummed. It's and and
17:01
Speaker 1: that's a natural reaction. It's okay to be It's okay,
17:04
Speaker 1: and you should be upset. You should be upset because
17:06
Speaker 1: but it also means that you care. And then when
17:09
Speaker 1: you watch back and you go back and you dissect
17:11
Speaker 1: this thing and where we're at and how we're able
17:13
Speaker 1: to stay in some of these games that we probably
17:15
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in. Absolutely, that's a that's a sign of optimist,
17:19
Speaker 1: you know, to be optimistic, and at some point it's
17:23
Speaker 1: going to be the other way where hey, we're trying
17:24
Speaker 1: to close these games out with up a score, multiple
17:27
Speaker 1: scores at the end, and we can hang with anybody,
17:30
Speaker 1: I mean right now, but right now we got it.
17:32
Speaker 1: We got some fixing to do at home in.
17:34
Speaker 4: That fight late in games of competitiveness?
17:37
Speaker 3: How big a part is Gino playing in that just
17:39
Speaker 3: the way he kind of.
17:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gino is like on record that he's the tip
17:44
Speaker 1: of the spere, especially on offense. We're gonna go as
17:47
Speaker 1: he goes, and he's a galvanizing force for the whole
17:50
Speaker 1: team and especially offensively.
17:52
Speaker 2: And you know, hey, that was we were talking last night.
17:55
Speaker 1: This guy is a super Competit mean, you don't get
17:57
Speaker 1: to where he's at in his career and his life
18:00
Speaker 1: without being an absolute warrior mentally through these things in
18:05
Speaker 1: times of adversity. So uh, and he's an emotional guy. Man,
18:09
Speaker 1: He's he cares, he's competitive as crap, and uh, good.
18:14
Speaker 2: You know. We like that.
18:15
Speaker 1: We like guys that are gonna get after it and
18:17
Speaker 1: put it on the line, you know, down in and
18:20
Speaker 1: down out, and uh.
18:22
Speaker 2: That's a great to me.
18:23
Speaker 1: That's let's everybody else, let's let's follow his lead. So
18:27
Speaker 1: of course we're gonna we're always gonna depend on Gino.
18:31
Speaker 1: There they goes, all right, thank you,
