Head Coach Mike Macdonald Looks Ahead To Week 17 vs. Panthers · Seahawks Press Pass

0:01
Speaker 1: All right, great to see every but anything like it's
0:04
Speaker 1: been a while. Uh, Merry Christmas Eve. Yeah, thanks, I
0:10
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys working on a holiday. It's pretty cool,
0:13
Speaker 1: blessing to be here. You know, that's just telling the
0:15
Speaker 1: team's really just fired up. That just feel great, you know,
0:18
Speaker 1: just at this point of the year, the position of
0:21
Speaker 1: our team's been put themselves in. It's just an exciting
0:25
Speaker 1: time to go to work, especially during the holidays, and
0:27
Speaker 1: just very blessed to do it the same vein you know,
0:31
Speaker 1: I figured we'll address the Derek Hall situation. Look, these
0:36
Speaker 1: things that these things are tough, you know, they we
0:39
Speaker 1: you know, we obviously we accept what the league did.
0:42
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily agree with it, you know, just because
0:46
Speaker 1: we know Derek as a player and as a person.
0:48
Speaker 1: Since he's been here, he's been nothing but a plus
0:51
Speaker 1: plus teammate, a plus plus football player, and and uh
0:55
Speaker 1: a member of our community and and and it's tough,
1:00
Speaker 1: you know, see feel for him, but we got to
1:01
Speaker 1: pick up we got to pick it up for him
1:03
Speaker 1: while he's gone. And I just I just really refuse
1:08
Speaker 1: to believe there was ill intent in that play. And
1:12
Speaker 1: and then we'll move forward. But sigurably to address it.
1:17
Speaker 2: Go ahead, just your thoughts on having six Pro Bowlers
1:20
Speaker 2: and and the guys who was left in.
1:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Pro Bowl is, uh, it's kind of tricky.
1:24
Speaker 1: It's it's like, really happy for the guys that that
1:28
Speaker 1: made it, that got selected. I mean it's really cool
1:31
Speaker 1: and like in the grand scheme of things, I think
1:33
Speaker 1: these are things you'll look back at the after the
1:35
Speaker 1: season is over in years to come, you look back
1:37
Speaker 1: and you'll be excited about, you know, these accolades and stuff.
1:40
Speaker 1: But if you handle what you're supposed to handle on
1:41
Speaker 1: the field, those things tend to take care of themselves.
1:43
Speaker 1: Now on the other hand, it's like, is it the
1:45
Speaker 1: best system to really recognize the best players. It's a
1:49
Speaker 1: good system. You know, we have different ways of doing it,
1:51
Speaker 1: you know, you think about it. Guys like Murph and
1:53
Speaker 1: JMI and e J. Mean, those guys have had great,
1:56
Speaker 1: great seasons. I mean there's and there's more on our
1:58
Speaker 1: roster and hopefully that gets reflected in like you know,
2:00
Speaker 1: all pro voting and things like that.
2:02
Speaker 3: But yeah, so it's like a mixed emotions. You're really
2:05
Speaker 3: excited for those guys.
2:05
Speaker 1: You're also hoping that people also, you know, acknowledge the
2:09
Speaker 1: guys that feel like they deserve some acknowledgment as well.
2:11
Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, I mean.
2:13
Speaker 1: It's just it is what it is, and we got
2:14
Speaker 1: to go play great football this week, so you can't
2:17
Speaker 1: you can't be thinking about it too much.
2:18
Speaker 4: When guys are suspended, they can't be in the building
2:21
Speaker 4: for that week.
2:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's correct.
2:22
Speaker 5: So what do you tell do you send them away
2:24
Speaker 5: with a workout plan or what do you tell them
2:25
Speaker 5: to do during the.
2:26
Speaker 1: We have we have some instructions on like how to
2:28
Speaker 1: handle his body, but other than that, it's really not
2:30
Speaker 1: much else you can do.
2:31
Speaker 3: I think he actually went home, so yeah, we miss him.
2:35
Speaker 5: And this week. What what does this week look like
2:37
Speaker 5: so far? You guys were here but didn't practice on Monday?
2:40
Speaker 5: Is that right?
2:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it's a different schedule.
2:44
Speaker 1: So you know, we took the guys, had the weekend,
2:47
Speaker 1: we came back on Monday was like a normal one
2:49
Speaker 1: season Monday. Then Tuesday was like a Wednesday to me.
2:53
Speaker 1: Right now, today is Thursday, you know, So today's Thursday.
2:56
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's Tomorrow's off for the guys and the coaches, and
2:59
Speaker 1: then Rid is Friday and off we go. So basically
3:02
Speaker 1: took Tuesday's day off and replaced it on Thursday.
3:06
Speaker 4: The players, counsel input or coaches decided to.
3:09
Speaker 1: Do the week this week, though this one was my decision,
3:12
Speaker 1: and like Leslie's been helpful and Billy's been helpful in
3:14
Speaker 1: the schedule, but this was pretty much a layup. Like
3:16
Speaker 1: if you get a chance to give the guys Christmas
3:19
Speaker 1: Day in the in our in our world, you gotta go.
3:23
Speaker 1: You got to try to do as best you can.
3:25
Speaker 1: So that hasn't happened often in my career, and you're
3:27
Speaker 1: definitely appreciative when when the schedule aligns that way.
3:30
Speaker 5: You mentioned when you were on.
3:31
Speaker 6: With Richis in I think last week, but earlier in
3:34
Speaker 6: the season, there's some mistakes made about making things about
3:36
Speaker 6: opponents and curious what you learned and what kind of mistakes.
3:41
Speaker 5: That's might have been.
3:42
Speaker 1: Well, this is something that we decided on how we
3:44
Speaker 1: wanted to approach uh shoot every day every time we
3:47
Speaker 1: go on the field. We you know, we did that
3:49
Speaker 1: in the spring and in the off season, and we
3:51
Speaker 1: just in some of those instances, I felt like we
3:53
Speaker 1: weren't our actions weren't backing up our intentions and the
3:56
Speaker 1: things that we were saying. And so when that's not
3:58
Speaker 1: a ligne, you got to check yourself off, you know. So,
4:02
Speaker 1: but that that's kind of that's how we want to roll,
4:04
Speaker 1: like me, myself included. Like when we fall short or
4:07
Speaker 1: we don't see something that's aligned with our vision and
4:09
Speaker 1: who we want to become, we have to address it
4:11
Speaker 1: and make.
4:11
Speaker 3: It right and move forward and grow together. And that's
4:15
Speaker 3: that's just it.
4:16
Speaker 1: That's how we choose to operate when well you fit
4:21
Speaker 1: you feel it?
4:21
Speaker 3: Oh like yeah, yeah, it happens all the time.
4:25
Speaker 1: I we gave a bunch of yards and points last game,
4:28
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of not great stuff that I
4:30
Speaker 1: was doing and like the rest of the defense, you
4:32
Speaker 1: know so, I mean.
4:33
Speaker 4: The point of focusing on yourselves and the process.
4:36
Speaker 5: With your opponent.
4:37
Speaker 3: Uh, it's been an evolution. You know.
4:42
Speaker 1: You think about, well, what does it mean to make
4:44
Speaker 1: it about you and not about your opponent? And like
4:46
Speaker 1: everybody says that, but then it's like, okay, well, actually
4:49
Speaker 1: are you actually doing that? Are you actually focusing on that?
4:52
Speaker 1: And what are you doing on a day to day
4:55
Speaker 1: basis to back up what you're saying? You believe in
4:57
Speaker 1: and when you actually critically think about that, then you realize, okay,
5:02
Speaker 1: well we need to make some adjustments here and how
5:03
Speaker 1: we operate and how we game plan and how we
5:05
Speaker 1: message stuff.
5:06
Speaker 4: What did Derek tell you about what happened? But what
5:08
Speaker 4: was his version of it?
5:11
Speaker 1: His version was he's getting rolled up on and he
5:14
Speaker 1: tried to step over the guy and his heel landed
5:19
Speaker 1: on him, but his toe was on the ground when
5:21
Speaker 1: he when he made contact, so he just it's really
5:24
Speaker 1: that was really surprised that it was going.
5:25
Speaker 7: On when you I know, you knew Jay Harba before
5:29
Speaker 7: you got the job here and everything, but when you
5:30
Speaker 7: got the job, was that obviously how big a priority
5:33
Speaker 7: was was kind of Jay and filling that spot. And
5:36
Speaker 7: I don't know if that was a kind of slam
5:37
Speaker 7: dunk to.
5:37
Speaker 1: Just hired j or well, there's there's there's several guys
5:41
Speaker 1: we interviewed. You know, it's like you're going into it
5:43
Speaker 1: for the first time. I'm careful to be like, we're
5:46
Speaker 1: trying not to be like this is absolute what we're doing.
5:48
Speaker 1: You try to go into it a little bit more
5:50
Speaker 1: open mind. But Jay's someone that ever since we worked
5:54
Speaker 1: together in twenty fourteen, He's like, man, this guy's a
5:57
Speaker 1: this guy's a beast, you know. So and then see him,
6:00
Speaker 1: you know, in action at Michigan with the responsibilities you
6:05
Speaker 1: had there, obviously just thought really highly of.
6:08
Speaker 3: Them, and then and these things. It's a two way
6:11
Speaker 3: street too.
6:12
Speaker 1: I mean, Jay's got a phenomenal family, that's a big
6:14
Speaker 1: ass coming from Michigan. And then you know, there might
6:17
Speaker 1: have been an opportunity somewhere else going on. So, uh,
6:21
Speaker 1: you know, we wanted to make sure it fit for
6:22
Speaker 1: both of us. But yeah, he's a guy that we
6:25
Speaker 1: always wanted to work together with.
6:27
Speaker 6: The Panthers are heavy cover three team, largest zone team
6:31
Speaker 6: in the NFL. What kind of gets a defensive coordinator
6:35
Speaker 6: decide Cover three as their main focus versus Cover two
6:39
Speaker 6: or any of those other kinds of coverage.
6:41
Speaker 3: Well, it depends on the situation. Number one. I mean,
6:43
Speaker 3: are you what are you trying to do?
6:45
Speaker 1: Are you trying to load the box and and I
6:47
Speaker 1: have an extra hat? Are you trying to leverage drop
6:51
Speaker 1: back pass plays? Are you trying to put a guy
6:52
Speaker 1: on the post to limit explosives over the middle. I mean,
6:56
Speaker 1: all those things that you're trying to do. Also, there's
6:58
Speaker 1: you know, the opposites are are the stress points, you know,
7:00
Speaker 1: like outside lane throws more stressful. There's some drained concepts,
7:04
Speaker 1: like they played a lot of match that teams could
7:06
Speaker 1: attack you with. So I think it starts with like
7:09
Speaker 1: your overarching philosophy and on what you feel like is
7:11
Speaker 1: a good starting point, which cover three is a great
7:13
Speaker 1: starting point, and then you got to kind of work
7:16
Speaker 1: through it from there by situation. So probably hopefully pinch
7:21
Speaker 1: you the best picture.
7:22
Speaker 7: Any update on Kobe Bryant at all?
7:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kobe. No update on Kobe. Yeah, he's not going
7:29
Speaker 1: to practice today. Charles, Yeah, Charles's not gonna practice to
7:33
Speaker 1: day either, cool and see better Greek should be practicing today?
7:40
Speaker 5: Is Claudree Diggs?
7:41
Speaker 7: Is he still I guess we haven't seen him for
7:43
Speaker 7: a couple of weeks.
7:43
Speaker 3: Or he's back.
7:45
Speaker 1: He's back here and he'll be with us the rest
7:47
Speaker 1: of the week and then be with his family this
7:49
Speaker 1: weekend and then be back with us next.
7:51
Speaker 5: Week when you go for your more game day jobs.
7:56
Speaker 6: What are you listening to on your runs?
7:59
Speaker 1: My wife made a worship playlist and uh it's pretty cool.
8:04
Speaker 1: Got it down to the out of the science on
8:07
Speaker 1: when each song plays and where I should be when
8:09
Speaker 1: each song hits, so kind of nerded nerded out that way.
8:13
Speaker 6: What's uh, what's Christmas look like in the McDonald household?
8:17
Speaker 3: Well, this is a first time with Jack kind of being.
8:22
Speaker 1: Moving around and I'm sure he doesn't really understand what's
8:25
Speaker 1: going on, but step Dad's in town and look forward
8:27
Speaker 1: to carrying him down the stairs and kind of starting
8:31
Speaker 1: our own traditions, you know, which is which is really exciting.
8:34
Speaker 4: When you guys signed Wandre, was there like some sort
8:36
Speaker 4: of an arrangement you came to where he would be
8:38
Speaker 4: at home when on the games where you knew that
8:40
Speaker 4: he wouldn't play.
8:43
Speaker 1: Well, it really really stemmed from him just not from
8:46
Speaker 1: being banged up from the game that he played, So
8:48
Speaker 1: that that's where that came from. Is this you knowed
8:52
Speaker 1: you can you know, work with him on what's best
8:54
Speaker 1: for him and us. Is what is really where that
8:57
Speaker 1: came from? Availability or right now? He's not no, but
9:01
Speaker 1: he's he's getting there.
9:02
Speaker 5: What what have you seen on Bryce young him here?
9:06
Speaker 3: Yeah?
9:06
Speaker 1: I think Bryce is playing a really high level. It's
9:10
Speaker 1: been incredibly accurate. Uh, he gets through his reads really quickly,
9:14
Speaker 1: which is a pain in the neck. And then he's
9:17
Speaker 1: been making big time plays and high leverage situations. So
9:21
Speaker 1: teams have had him dead to rights on on on
9:24
Speaker 1: several occasions he's been able to escape. And then there's
9:26
Speaker 1: also a lot of plays where he's in time and
9:29
Speaker 1: in rhythm and he's he's throwing, he's throwing some daggers
9:33
Speaker 1: out there, so he's he's he's been impressive.
9:35
Speaker 3: I have been watching that much prior to this game,
9:37
Speaker 3: so been impressed.
9:39
Speaker 2: The high leverage situations, he's I think tied the leading
9:42
Speaker 2: fourth quarter comebacks.
9:44
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold's up there as well.
9:46
Speaker 2: Like to you, what makes a quarterback good in those
9:48
Speaker 2: high leverage situations?
9:51
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't. I don't really know.
9:52
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I'd been making something up
9:54
Speaker 1: if I told you. I just think like you start
9:59
Speaker 1: acting differently based on the circumstances around you.
10:01
Speaker 3: That's dangerous.
10:02
Speaker 1: You know you start okay, now it's time to lock in,
10:05
Speaker 1: or okay, now let's shake it off. It's like, now,
10:07
Speaker 1: it's just why don't we just be consistent on our
10:09
Speaker 1: approach all the time? I feel like that that yields
10:11
Speaker 1: probably the best results from Conrad.
10:14
Speaker 6: Tool and Jared Ivy is they've kind of developed.
10:16
Speaker 5: Over the season.
10:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, both those guys are doing a great job.
10:20
Speaker 1: They all they both have their their strengths and then
10:22
Speaker 1: they that well that can help us, that can you know,
10:26
Speaker 1: give them a great career. And there's also some things
10:27
Speaker 1: that they've been working on. You know, it's probably a
10:30
Speaker 1: reflection of you know, their playtime and things like that,
10:32
Speaker 1: but also being on our roster shows you are confidence
10:35
Speaker 1: in those guys, So they're doing a good job.
10:37
Speaker 2: Leto talked about after the game about some of the
10:39
Speaker 2: adjustments in the run game, some schematic things you guys changed.
10:43
Speaker 2: I think we always think about coaches and halftime adjustments,
10:45
Speaker 2: but doesn't tell you about the players that they can
10:47
Speaker 2: take that on and like we're going to change how
10:49
Speaker 2: we're doing things mid stream and get the results.
10:51
Speaker 3: Well, it's we have.
10:54
Speaker 1: What I love about our group is like we can
10:57
Speaker 1: we can move and shake and it's not a it's
10:59
Speaker 1: not a point of panic.
11:00
Speaker 3: It's just a trying and do it's best for us
11:04
Speaker 3: in that moment.
11:05
Speaker 1: And it's not like we were invented some defense where
11:09
Speaker 1: at a left field the guy's never done. We just
11:11
Speaker 1: it was not really a major part of the plan.
11:13
Speaker 1: We kind of got all the way down to like
11:15
Speaker 1: Plan C. You know, we kind of skipped skipped to
11:18
Speaker 1: be you know, and and the guys were great and
11:20
Speaker 1: they handled it well and and.
11:23
Speaker 3: So kind of fun.
11:24
Speaker 1: You know. It's like it's it's fun to like try
11:25
Speaker 1: to solve those problems in real time with the guy.
11:27
Speaker 1: It's not fun to give up yards and points. But
11:29
Speaker 1: when you're finding solutions and you're working together on it,
11:31
Speaker 1: like that's that's a cool process.
11:33
Speaker 4: Anticipate Connor and Jared being active on Sunday.
11:36
Speaker 3: They have they have a chance to be up with any.
11:39
Speaker 4: Said update on Charles or Kobe. But do you expect
11:42
Speaker 4: to back done.
11:43
Speaker 5: For the year.
11:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, I r for either of those guys
11:47
Speaker 3: we had.
11:47
Speaker 5: Has Tory Horton made any progress at the stage.
11:50
Speaker 1: Or where he's Yeah, unfortunately, no update on Tory. Not
11:55
Speaker 1: good or bad, just no update run game.
11:57
Speaker 6: We've talked about a bunch on offense. You guys got
12:00
Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy one yards this last game. Are
12:03
Speaker 6: you feeling like the continue to be progressed?
12:06
Speaker 4: There?
12:07
Speaker 1: I do, and then you know there's you get to
12:11
Speaker 1: prove it every week. You get to prove it every day.
12:14
Speaker 1: But there's some things that we're working through that I
12:16
Speaker 1: felt like we made some strides this past week and
12:19
Speaker 1: really and through our process, you know. So I think
12:22
Speaker 1: that resonated with the guys and we'll keep keep chipping
12:26
Speaker 1: away at it. You know. I think that's we have
12:29
Speaker 1: an identity. We know we run, we're on the same runs.
12:31
Speaker 1: It's just how we get to them, how we block them,
12:33
Speaker 1: who's in the game. It's really that simple, you know.
12:38
Speaker 1: And then it's about going and getting it done.
12:40
Speaker 5: The game such a crazy comeback emotional. How do you
12:43
Speaker 5: approach the aftermath of that? Is there anything you've had
12:46
Speaker 5: to do differently?
12:50
Speaker 1: Our guys have been awesome. I mean, they just they've
12:52
Speaker 1: been really great. It now it's like the thing that
12:55
Speaker 1: we worked through yesterday. You know, we kind of started
12:57
Speaker 1: practice slow and ended up finishing the right way. I
13:01
Speaker 1: really thought that was just a wasn't of a like
13:04
Speaker 1: poor intent by our guys. It was just I think
13:06
Speaker 1: we were a little rusty from not really going full
13:08
Speaker 1: speed out there in practice for you know, probably going
13:11
Speaker 1: on two weeks. So the guys were great and then
13:14
Speaker 1: they're in great spirits, say, I'm really looking forward today's practice.
13:16
Speaker 7: Your scenario is pretty straightforward, But I mean, do you
13:19
Speaker 7: do you spend much time talking with him about that,
13:20
Speaker 7: making it clear with what's at stake?
13:22
Speaker 1: And no, I haven't talked about it once. The only
13:25
Speaker 1: thing I told him is we made the playoffs.
13:29
Speaker 5: What what's Ted McMillan kind of bringing the table from
13:33
Speaker 5: skill standpoint? What do you when you watch him? What
13:35
Speaker 5: kind of stands out about his game?
13:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, another another really good player can win at all
13:42
Speaker 1: three levels, like for for for a bigger guy, you know,
13:45
Speaker 1: being able to get in and out of his breaks,
13:47
Speaker 1: the body control. You can tell they're building a good
13:50
Speaker 1: chemistry with the quarterback, so they got to they got a.
13:53
Speaker 3: Good thing going. He's making some some really really good catches.
13:55
Speaker 6: When you start watching a game from a new opponent,
13:59
Speaker 6: when you start getting a.
14:00
Speaker 5: Feel for what kind of team they are.
14:04
Speaker 1: Us, that's that's a good question. I think it varies,
14:07
Speaker 1: you know. I like to watch the games in a row.
14:10
Speaker 1: It depends on where you're at in the season and
14:11
Speaker 1: what's going on with their team. Like there's you can't
14:14
Speaker 1: I don't think it's smart to watch like the whole
14:16
Speaker 1: season when you're in week fifteen, like I don't know
14:18
Speaker 1: what that's going to do for you, but you know
14:19
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick a spot, we're gonna start watching it,
14:21
Speaker 1: and you know, then you get all the stats. So
14:26
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like a process where you're just
14:28
Speaker 1: trying to you know, pick and choose, and it kind
14:31
Speaker 1: of like fills in the picture for you as you go.
14:33
Speaker 1: And I think the timetable probably varies week to week.
14:36
Speaker 3: Might be smurf there. But in year two, what does
14:38
Speaker 3: it mean to you.
14:39
Speaker 5: To have this team in the most season.
14:44
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's one of those meaning questions. I
14:46
Speaker 3: just like.
14:52
Speaker 1: That probably tells you the answer. It's it's like it's great, yeah,
14:54
Speaker 1: I mean, like we got our goals. We want to
14:56
Speaker 1: win games, we want to make the playoffs. In order
15:01
Speaker 1: to make our next goal, we have to win this game.
15:03
Speaker 1: So that's like that's where we're at. I think, same
15:06
Speaker 1: thing like the Pro Bowl. Like it's cool, it's great,
15:08
Speaker 1: you know years from now where we look back and
15:11
Speaker 1: we'll love this team and we'll love the process and.
15:13
Speaker 3: The whole thing. But like we got to go make
15:15
Speaker 3: it come to life right now. You know, we can't
15:17
Speaker 3: be sitting around like telling how sweete are to everybody.
15:22
Speaker 7: Okay, to get here.
15:24
Speaker 6: What has been the constant of your team from off season?
15:28
Speaker 4: I know this is kind of a what's been the constant?
15:31
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think it's our daily approach. Just
15:34
Speaker 1: you know, we could we could go out right now
15:35
Speaker 1: and play rock pepper scissors. It's like we run the
15:39
Speaker 1: same intent about what we do. You know, we just
15:41
Speaker 1: finished the walk through. The guys are great. There's some
15:43
Speaker 1: things that like leaving the walk through, Okay, we gotta
15:46
Speaker 1: maybe we gotta work on that. We're gonna make that
15:47
Speaker 1: a little clearer. You know, guys are okay, maybe we're
15:51
Speaker 1: a little bit better at that than I thought.
15:52
Speaker 3: Okay, well let's go. You know that's the process.
15:54
Speaker 1: Now we go practice it and you just just keep
15:58
Speaker 1: chipping away at it.
15:59
Speaker 3: Okay, what player do you to work on?
16:00
Speaker 5: What?
16:00
Speaker 1: What's this one thing that we want to What's what
16:02
Speaker 1: are the things in each phase that we need to
16:04
Speaker 1: be able to do this game to go or today
16:07
Speaker 1: that will show up on Sunday for us to go
16:09
Speaker 1: win the game.
16:09
Speaker 3: Well, let's go make those come to life.
16:11
Speaker 1: You know, it's just no matter what we're doing, it's
16:13
Speaker 1: just the same same, same process. And look like we're
16:16
Speaker 1: gonna talk about this in a few weeks, but like
16:18
Speaker 1: when you get to the playoffs. I haven't been a
16:19
Speaker 1: head coach in the playoffs yet, Like for us to go,
16:23
Speaker 1: we're going to go. It's gonna be a first for
16:25
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in the building. And you start
16:26
Speaker 1: making it about oh, it's the first or it's the second,
16:28
Speaker 1: or you start adding all this crap onto it rather
16:32
Speaker 1: than just let's go just play our best version of football,
16:34
Speaker 1: and now you start to get lost.
16:35
Speaker 3: So that's why we do what we do.
16:37
Speaker 2: When did you realize that being process oriented was important
16:40
Speaker 2: to you.
16:41
Speaker 4: In the team that you're building.
16:45
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I I I'm not sure. I'm
16:48
Speaker 1: not sure. I think as you're coming up as a
16:51
Speaker 1: younger coach, you're in the weeds, you know, like you're
16:56
Speaker 1: you're you're doing a lot of the process behind the scenes,
16:58
Speaker 1: and and you can I think you get a good
17:01
Speaker 1: feel for like what matters and what doesn't matter in
17:03
Speaker 1: terms of creating a result that you want. And so
17:07
Speaker 1: that's probably where it started. And then you just you
17:09
Speaker 1: just kind of go from there. But it's probably where
17:13
Speaker 1: it started. There we go, okay, all right, thank you,
