  Speaker 1: No, I thought. I thought, honestly. I mean I know
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the yard per carry or yard per tempt was, you know,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: just over two, but I thought it was effective enough, though,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to open up some of the some of the little
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: play action stuff, some of the dropback passes, things of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that nature. And quite honestly, you know it. You saw
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: commitment to the run right and and how how our
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: offensive line, you know, took charge right there. But sometimes
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: it's not so much the yards per carry as much
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: as you just gotta commit to it and stick to it,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: because it does open up some other things in your
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: offense around one time. That kind of makes it worthy.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It does, because you just kind of keep chipping away,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: chipping away, chipping away, and and Um, you know that's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: what our guys did last week injury. I mean it's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: not it's not it's not fun, it's not comfortable. Um,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you know, you're dealing with just just body movements all
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the time. You know, I remember when I did mine, Um,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: sitting down, sneezing and coughing, laughing, all that kind of
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: stuff can kind of adde you tate and irritate the area. Um,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: but it just takes. It just takes. You know, time
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to heal. I think it depends on the person, the treatment,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you know, the Rehab that they're going through. Um, you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: for me it was just a few days and you're
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: back out there throwing and movement. But but it's you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: it's there. Growing up, growing up where you did. What
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: are your memories, if any, you know, junior high through
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: high school, of the chargers air was probably the first
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: NFL offense that attracted any kind of cache nationally. This morning,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: how much did you get to see? What are your
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: memories of that? Yeah, I mean I just you know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Dan fouts and the guys, you know, growing up, you know,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and on the West Coast. I mean I was a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawk Fan, you know, growing up in in that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: same division, and it seemed like they were always the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: ones to kind of, you know, either them or the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: raiders were the ones to knock the seahawks out of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the postseason at some point. But Um, you know, it
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: was just they were fun to watch. You know, they
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: were fun to watch their their they're tight ends, you know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: their skill guys, Um, you know, and they've always had
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: sort of a rich tradition of that and they still do.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: What do you remember? Yeah, do you remember the playoff
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: game against the dolphins in the Orange Bowl? Twenty four
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: nothing lead they had blew it and then one in overtime,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: like considered like one of the three or four greatest
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: games in NFL history? Do you remember it at all? Nah, vaguely, vague. Yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I slept since then, is it? Where do you guys
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that just know where derwin James Lines up from playing
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: play out? I mean it's important. He's a good player,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you know, and and he he can he can play, Um,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you know, on the edge as a rusher, he can
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: play a linebacker, you can play safety, you can play,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you know, just by anywhere on that defense. They asked
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: him to do a lot and you know, he's a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: good player. He's all over the field. He's physical, Um.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's important that we know where he's at.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: What makes in Europinian special or just a different type
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of player? I think just the versatility, you know, Um,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: when we talk a lot about that with our guys,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you know, having versatility to play multiple spots and and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: he can do that, you know, and he he understands
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that defense and and uh, that that's what makes him,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you know, valuable to that team. Play callers get in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a rhythm and you feel like you're a pretty good
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: rhythm with the tools that you have to work with.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Even though it's early in the season, play callers do
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: get in a rhythm. Um, and then play callers can
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: also get out of a rhythm. You know, it all
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: just depends on how the game is going, you know.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So you know, you hope to be in more of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a rhythm, obviously each week. But Um, you know, the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: flow of the game is is something that, uh, you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: know that that's predicated sometimes by the players and how
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: well we're just executing the offense right and and and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: then just allows you to kind of free your mind
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: up and and and open your you know, your sheet
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: up is a little bit more to to get to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: some more of the good stuff, you know, on your
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: on your call sheet. But Um, you know, last Sunday
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: was was one of those examples and it kind of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: goes back to the run game. Just being able to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: stick with the run to help us open up some
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: other things. It's harder than it's it's hard, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: even the week before, when you're down fourteen three, you're
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: still not out of the football game. You know and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and sometimes it's hard to even as a play caller team,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to commit and stick with it. But you just have to,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you know, Um kind of focus on it and, uh,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you know, make it an emphasis, I guess, each week
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to try to to try to establish that. How much
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: do you think the offense we saw on Sunday for
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: this team is the offense? It will be versus countering
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: what the colts presented on defense? You know, I think
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: one of the things that you learn in this league
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: is it's week to week, right, and you do, you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: do what it takes to win and and sometimes each
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: week the game plans are going to be different. You know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the way we attack an opponent is going to be different.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: The way our opponent attacks us is going to be different. Um,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: so you're you're constantly evolving and constantly, you know, Shaping
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: your game plans. That way what we did? Yeah, I mean,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: if there's a blueprint, you know, yeah, you'd want to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: be that balance of run, pass and and success in
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the red zone and all that. But we know to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: his coaches that, you know, sometimes it's uh, it could
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: be a different offense from week to week just based
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: on your opponent. How much do you tweek for west
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: coast trip as the only thing I'll tweak is Um,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you know, Saturday. Uh, we'll we'll be in the building
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit sooner on Saturday. It's an early flight
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and then, Um, you know, just keep everything sort of
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: on east coast time when we're out there. I know
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it's a early in the season, still with three but
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: how much emphasis do you put on this game, being
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that it's with a, you know, pretty good team at ANFC?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I mean it's our next game. It's all the emphasis
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I need, you know, and our players need the fact
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that it's the next one on the schedule. And you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we don't look past anybody, obviously, and we try to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: stay in the moment. And you know, today's Wednesday and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get ready to go practice and play. We
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: tried to go over a day early. I've done that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: before as a player and a coach. You know, there's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: really none. You know, studies have proven that there's not
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a whole lot. I mean you know, every time zone
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you go back in time, it takes a day or so,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty four hours, to kind of catch up.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So really you should go out on like Thursday you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: if you really want to catch up. But you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I think if you just keep everything sort of status
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and keep the way you know we've been doing it here, Um,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it just you don't have to worry about anything other
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: than the time Michael Williams with a breakout game last
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Thursday against the chiefs. Is the plan still with both
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: shack and Tyson left and right, as opposed to maybe,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you know, having one of them trail and number one
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: wide receiver, obviously, assuming that Keenan Allen does or doesn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: go for you just want me to give up the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: game play right now. I guess we can. We will
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: rephrase it to how do you how do you counter
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Mike Williams, potentially all so Keenan? Yeah, I mean two
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: good players, I mean two really good players and, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: two big physical guys too. and Um, it's gonna take
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: all hands on deck in our secondary to you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: whether you end up doubling the guy or you sometimes
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you just gotta lock up man to man and play.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe I'm third down, but you know, our
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: guys will, will battle. Um, you know, they've got to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: watch the tape this week and they gotta they gotta
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you know, study their opponent and study those one on
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: one matchups. But you know, give these two guys respect.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You know, two really good receivers in league. Have you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: been happy with the left right split between shock and Tyson? Yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it's been. It's been working, working good and Um, you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: know a lot of and again, it's based on scheme
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to corners are going to travel from side to side
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: from time to time and you know, you try not
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to give too many indicators that way. But but you know, Um,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: been been pleased with you know where they've been playing teams.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: His hands pulled the last two weeks. Now it gets
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Khalil maps, tool map will play. Yeah, you know, it
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: looks like he's healthy. Um, he's fresh, he's ready to go.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I've been playing well these last two weeks. Um, it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be a good test for both our tackles really
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: with these two guys. Um, again, a lot of respect
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: for both of them. You know what they've done in
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: this league and and uh, got a challenge ahead of
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: us and you draft for rounds and I guess I'll
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: throw Tyson and as a top thirty three kind of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: thick to make plays. You look at these first couple
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of weeks it's been travy and Lloy, Trev I mean
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you got fruit, please with the way some of the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: young guys are are making impact plays. Yeah, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that's what you want right when you when you draft
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: for a second and even third round guys, you want
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: them to make an impact right away on your and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they have to make an impact right and a credit
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to you know, Trent and the personnel staff for, you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: all the work they do, you know, leading up to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the draft and then obviously being able to be in
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a position to draft these guys and add tremendous talent
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to your football team. And again, you know, three young
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: players that, Um, I think highly of. You know, they
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: come to work every day, they try to get better
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: at what they're doing and, uh, they've played uh, you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they've played well these first two weeks. What is it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: about about Justin Herbert's game that's allowed him to avoid
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the normal pitfalls you see young quarterbacks have? I mean
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: it just seems like right from the get go he
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: was he was putting up he was putting up monster numbers. Yeah,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously the scheme possibly that he's in,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you know, allowed him to free up. You know, he
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: they've surrounded him early with some good, talented guys that
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: run game, obviously receiving corps Um and they're playing good
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: defense to you know, since they've been there and and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: just you know, really it's the mentality of the coach too, right.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, you know, Brandon Daly's aggressive guy
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and and that's how the team you know, they're gonna
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: feed off of that and and that's kind of the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the the idea here too. You know, the team will
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: feed off of, you know, the tone that I set,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you know, for them. And you see that with this
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: group and this this group flies around and that quarterback, Um,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and he can run. He's talented with his legs, obviously,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and Um, you know he's uh, he's he's turning himself
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: in a really good passer. Is the injury report for
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you guys still blank? I mean it's it's it's good.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: You know, knock on wood. It's been good again. It's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a credit to the players coming in and how they've
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: worked in the weight room and they're conditioning and and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: all that. You know, and we practice. You see it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: We practice hard, you know, during the week and Um,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: right now. It's been it's been pretty clean. We've come
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: out of both games relatively clean, other than just some
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: minor bumps and bruises. Do the same. He came in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: last Wednesday, disappointing loss. Like you, Guy should have won.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe he come into this Wednesday. Is it the same
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: team you're looking at in that room or do you
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: see a difference coming off a loss in the one? Well,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you see a little bit more offindense, you know, coming
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: off a win. But listen, we understand too that. Again,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: just like I said earlier, this week to week and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: as much as you want to live in the past,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you can't. You know, you've got another set of challenges,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you know, right in front of us. And and uh,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you know, we've got to go to work today. You
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: gotta put the pads on and go to practice. And, Um,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you gotta learn the Game Plan. You know, study your opponent. Um,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: can't worry about last week and and focus on, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: trying to go one to know this week was not
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: handled winning well. I you know. I mean it's it's
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: hard to pray speak for other teams. I just know
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that situations I've been in. It can happen. You know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: but but again, I think that's my job to to
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to keep reeling the guys in and keep the keep
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the goals right in front of the team. Can you
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: talk about learn? The team neating to learn how to win?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Is this week the perfect example of you gotta when
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you playing well, but now you've got to go out
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and do it all over again? Yeah, yeah, it's. It's
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the so what now? What mentality? Right, and you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: we don't really care. You know, wins are great in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: this league and hard to come by and we like them.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But Um, you know, again it's my job to make
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: sure that the goals and the ambitions and the things
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that we're trying to get done stay in front of
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the football team and, you know, keep pushing the team
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to get better. Challenge the team to get better, challenge
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of coaches to continue to get better and find ways
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to improve and and Um, it's a long, long season.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: You hear that all the time, but it really is.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And it's just one game, you know, but we got
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a long way to go. I've had a lot of
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: success running different plays out of the same formation. Does
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that get exponentially harder overs week? Well, yeah, the more
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you put on tape. You know, Um, the more tendencies
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: they're going to be, and so we've got to make
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: sure it's a staff that we kind of break our
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: own tendencies with, you know, with different whether it be
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: personnel or different ways to run the same place. Is
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that paramount in your scheme? Is To do a lot
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of a lot for the same personnel? Do Things that information? Well,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I mean the more, the more you can execute the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: same play. You know, is to know exactly where to be. Um,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you know, you can tweak the personnel or tweak the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: formation whatever, but you know, there's some consistency there with
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: with keeping it keeping it simple that way. I'm also
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a believer that, you know, you've gotta keep challenging your
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: players with new new ideas, new thoughts, new wrinkles throughout
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the week, things that you can take maybe advantage of,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you know, in the game plan. But yeah, it gets
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: as a season goes on, more more films out there
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: on every team, obviously, and the same way with our
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: opponents each week, and you know, it does get a
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: touch harder to game plan. But Um, you know, it's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: our job to find creative ways to move our guys around.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: How do you know if you're making progress. But so
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: what now? What mentality? Do you see it in the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: practice field during the week? Do you see the attention
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: span in the in the meeting room? How do you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: know you're you're doing your job, as you say, to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: have this team filused? Um, you know, there's there's certain examples. Um,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just one art and key. After the game, everybody was
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: excited in the locker room and you know, we're getting
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: ready to break the team down and kind of go
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: our own way after the game. But you know, Arden
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: spoke up and basically said, you know, Hey, it's a
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: twenty four hour rule. You can enjoy this win for
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours as a team, but we come back,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you know, on Monday. It's it's on to the next
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you know, and that's a that's a sign of maturity. Um.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And then today, you know, with the with the meetings
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and stuff and just seeing the focus of the guys, Um,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: you know, shows sign of maturity and and I think
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: they understand. You know, and then it comes from me, obviously,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, leading the team that way. But yeah, today
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and practice will be be important. It's a big day.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: You know, you're putting in your base game plan. How
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: well do they take it from the classroom to the field?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You know, are we flying around in practice? You know, Um,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you just you know, you can't shortcut for the hard
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: work in preparation and you've got to keep doing it
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: weekend and week out. The maturity level of this team
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: in the focus. You have a team that hasn't won
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: on the road in a couple of years, hasn't one
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the west coast very often. How do you leave the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: past in the past and and convert them into doing
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it your way? You know, I think the number one
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: thing is this is a different team. Honestly, you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: we have different faces, different for guys in that dressing room.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: We've we've we've brought in, I think, a level of experience,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: experienced veterans to this team that have won where they've been,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and so they know how to do that and sort
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of educate and teach and, you know, the same way
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: with myself and some of the staff to be able
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to coach up. But you know, it's a different group
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and and you know, Um, I go back to April
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and in the spring where where we started talking about
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: all that, you know, and how we handle success as
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: a football team I think goes a long way to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the success, right of this season. and Um, we just
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: take them one at a time and we keep kind
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: of preaching that mentality. Any analytics to use within a game, uh,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: say down, uh do you guys like how how much
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: in the room are you with the analytics team? And
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: then within the game, I guess, do you kind of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: use that or do you go more on like the game,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: speeding how the game has gone? Um, no, I mean
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I you know, I visit with with our analytics team
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: throughout the course of the week and and and just
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, again, it goes back. Each week
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: is different, right, and analytics are different each week based
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: on your opponent. And you know, you sit down and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you look at them and you study them and you
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: have a plan as you go into you know, game
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: planning or, you know, even when you get in the game,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: just having the information available to you. You know, in
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: this past week it was you know, some of the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: fourth down scenarios where, Um, you know, it was favorable
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: obviously for us to to go and and and take
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: advantage of that. And so so we did. We were successful,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you know, Um, on at least two of those. You know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and but you know, analytics is a part of it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I'M gonna continue to listen to it and but at
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the same time I'm gonna listen and watch the team
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and see where we're at during the course football game,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: who we're playing, how all three phases are playing and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and and making an educated decision at the time. We
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: might have to make a split second decision though. Um
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Is it? Have you gotten better at kind of separating
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the two or creating sort of you try to try
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to take the emotional aspect out of the game, you know,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: because sometimes those can become emotional decisions based on the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: smart decision, Um, and I think if you do that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and and just focus on the team and where you
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: are and all the factors surrounding and I think those
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: decisions become easier. Their defense and just the amount of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: two high coverages they run. I mean we're kind of
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: unique challenges. Is that create for an offense? Yeah, it's
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: it does. I mean it's a it's a too high
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: sort of a shell to start, but they'll roll their
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: safeties down to a bunch of three deep looks and
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it's challenging because it kind of mix mix things up.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You know that way. And Uh, they always again very
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: similar to last week, they want to keep some eyes
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: on the quarterback and and uh, you know, rallies to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the football Um. You know, receivers have to be locked
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: into that. QUARTERBACK has to be locked into that, you know,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: because a too high look at the snap is going
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to turn into one high pretty quick and and so
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: we need to know exactly where to be and where
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to go for the ball. Thank you, guys.
