  Speaker 1: All right, all right, Brian, everybody ready, get us going,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: not everybody's cameras on.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: All right, Hey, Coach.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Ernest Jones mentioned yesterday that you are like someone it's
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: like you're on the field with him when you're in
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: his helmet, and he talked about the experience of having
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: you in the helmet with him.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: What kind of.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Personality or persona do you try to project when you're
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: in the helmet with Ernest Jones and what is he
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: like back to you in those communications?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I hope he doesn't mind it, because sometimes I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: can't help myself. I try to stay calm. I mean,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: just try to stay calm based off the situation. It's
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: tricky because sometimes sometimes because of like after a stoppage
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: or something like that, you have more time when the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: offense lines up or what you're thinking in more of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: like a high leverage situations. And there's a lot of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: times where you know the fifteen seconds are up and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you know we're out of luck and they just got
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to go play. So I'm sure there's some times who
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: wants me to be quiet so we can just go play.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: So we'll work through those times. Bob.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mike, with with the running game yesterday some of
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: the some of the players kind of mentioned that the
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: gap scheme stuff seemed to work really well yesterday. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: was just curious sort of what I mean, I guess
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: how much that that was a factor, or the schemes
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: that used were a factor, and also why that would
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: have worked, and if there's things about the personnelity you
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: have right now that would that would make that specific
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: scheme work.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Well well, I mean, nowadays, the way the NFL is nowadays,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you can't just live in one world, so you gotta
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: be able to run both. I mean, we like we
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: had success with some gap yesterday, and uh, you know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we had a holding call and a couple on another
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: on a zone run that I thought was a really
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: well blocked play and just we you know, we had
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a we had a holding call. So there's another couple
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: like zone runs too. So I wouldn't say it's just
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: exclusively gap, but it is nice to have that kind
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of world of plays come to life for us where
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we're not you know, we're not you know, predictable operation
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: where all types of play types are kind of on
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the table at any given point. So that'll be beneficial
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: for us moving forward.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Jen along the same lines of offensive line. So Toa
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: mentioned that getting all the reps with the first team
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: made a big difference in how comfortable he felt going
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: into the game. Did you see him react, respond or
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: take a step forward in anyway?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I did. I thought, Uh. I thought he played
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a really really good football game. You can see all
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of his talents on display. He saw some confidence. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: thought he played well in the Jets game too. Like
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I said, he did have a little bit of slow
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: start that way. But we talked about this yesterday after
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the game. But just continuity up front, having the same
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: five guys. Not only is Twit taking all the reps,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: but all the other guys you know across room. Uh
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that Olo's used to communicating with and having a you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on a consecutive streak here going in. So I think
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: all those things are contributing to those guys playing well.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: Mas Veda, Hey, Mike this morning on the radio, you
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: you're talking about your continual improvement process and you mentioned
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: getting a hit in the head and yeah, like between
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: the I.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Sorry, yeah, hit me right between the when you're yeah,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: just just hit me between the eyes instead of don't
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: just don't beat around the bush on how you're making points.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Just kind of tell me what you're thinking. We'll take
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the emotion out of it and just let's just talk
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: about it rather than wasting a bunch of time talking
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: about a bunch of fluff.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: How have you been able to build trust and integrity
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: so that that can happen and you can move with
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: the players and the organization focused on the ultimate goal.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I think there's a consistency piece that really matters
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: if you're just like we talked about integrity. Throughout people
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have talked about accountability and stuff like that. Remember I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was talking about, Hey, I'd rather use the term integrity. Hey,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to do what we say or what we're
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: going to do and what we're going to be about,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and we're going to back it up through our actions.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So I think, just as as a coach and as
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a leader and the players too, like having conversations where
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you're creating an environment where you feel like you're heard
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and you're valued and you're making the decisions that are
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: best for the team and that and that the kind
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of decision criteria is consistent on what's driving on what
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you're doing on a kind of a per decision basis, hopefully,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I think and I think this is true that the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: guys respect that, and uh, and that builds trust, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it's you're consistent over time. Thank you, Curtis.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Mike, given that you'd had two centers, three right
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: guards for right tackle so far this year, to get
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: to a point where you might have a starting five
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: that you kind of feel good about right now, what
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: what does that kind of do for you? And how
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: do you kind of think about where that group's come
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: to at this point.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'd much rather be like this than
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a bunch of moving parts. When we talked about at
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, it's this isn't those this
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: isn't what we wanted to have happens, isn't an ideal situation,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: but in the time, trying to make the best decision
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for the team and for that unit and and being
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: able to work through it and and people are on
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: different learning curves in terms of development, but uh, it
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is nice to have some continuity to that group. And
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I think you're seeing them play with more confidence. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm happy for him because these guys they work really hard.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: They practice there, they practice incredibly hard every day, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we're not we're not going to lack reps around here.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So they're they're getting it and uh and they're they're
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: building off of it. And that's all you can ask
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: right now. So we're excited about it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: And what stood out to you specifically about Zach's game,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: you know, ninety three yards from scrimmage overall, the way
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: he caught the ball into the backfield and kind of
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: when you went went back and watched it, what stood
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: out to you about his play?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Well, well, I mean it's his full talents around display,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: right Like you said, I mean out of the backfield, running,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: running the ball, so he's kind of a thread at
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: all different points. He made a heck of a catch
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: on a checkdown that you know, there's three guys around him.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: If he tips that ball, you know, that could be
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a you know, that's that's a possible takeaway. So how
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: he's able to take care of the ball, I think,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you know, just his after contact type of yardage and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: productivity was really awesome to see running through some arm
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: tackles and then you know, even though it might not
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: be you know, a great explosive run opportunity, but able
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to push the pile and you know, creating some even
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: even if it's a play that maybe gets Stone to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. But now you're talking second and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: eight rather than second tenem. Those are those are those
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: are big time yards for us that help us keep
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the ball moving forward.
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: Brady, I might just a big picker, big picture question.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: Just what's your evaluation of Ryan Grubb and the job
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: he's done this season and you know, specifically transition from
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: college to the pro game.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I think, uh, I think our whole I mean
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: really all of our coaches, but I'll include Ryan, And
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: this is this is a this is a growing product
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: process for all of us as as a staff. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: mean I can tell you personally how much I've learned
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: as just becoming a head coach. I can talk to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you about the learning curve that it took me coming
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: back from Michigan become a coordinat of the first time.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I think Ryan's on the same same, uh same learning curve.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: So we're in this thing together, I think doing a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: great job. And it's fun. It's fun to work with
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: these guys on on a day and day out basis.
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: And then switching gears, you Chinn and Nuwosu. What was
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: your evaluation of his first game back.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it's great to have him out there. He played
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: really hard. You know, we're still on a coming back
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to play type of plan, so, uh, that'll continue this week.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: We'll see if it's a full workload or not by
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the end of the week. Uh, going into Sunday. But
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: disre excited to have him back and then you know
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: his role will grow here as we keep moving forward.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: But excited to have him back. Thank you, Greg, Mike.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: The playoff mode that the guys have been talking about,
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: you've been talking about a two since the buye when
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: you made that decision to push then in mid November,
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: was are you did you balance it all? Maybe going
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: to the whip too soon at the top of the
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: stretch and and then not being able to sustain that
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: for the two months through to January.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that wasn't really a luxury that we could afford
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: at that time. Greg. I mean, you know, desperate times
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: required desperate measures, and I wouldn't say it was desperate,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: but I mean we look, we had we had to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: start stringing wins together otherwise we're going to be Our
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: fate wasn't going to be in our hands, you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: come this time of the year, so you want every
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: game to feel with a sense of urgency like, hey,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: this is you know, we got to do it right now.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: It's time. Whether it's week two, week three, week fifteen,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, they all count the same. But when you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: put yourself in that hole that we were in, you
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: got you gotta shake things up a little bit. So
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that was really the thought behind it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: And what exactly is affecting Kenneth Walker and what is
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: his status look like going forward?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Well, there's some medical stuff that I don't really know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: but it's it's definitely it's his calf at this point.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: It's not his ankle, and in terms of his status
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: right now, we're not We're not sure. So there's some
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: more tests that we're doing right now on it as
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: we speak, and so we'll hopefully know more over the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: next twenty four to forty eight hours. Thank you, Brian.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, coach, there's so much talk and focus about offensive
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: coaches offensive innovation around the NFL. I'm curious if you
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: feel like there's defensive innovation that's been happening, and if so,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: where do you see it happening.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. You know, I know this kind
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of sounds crazy, you don't. I don't have a great
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: temperature on the rest of the league right now in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: terms like on a on a per play basis. I'm
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: exposed to crossover tape and it's kind of the highlights
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of the week going around the league about certain trends
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and things like that. So I know this. There's there's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of great defensive coaches out there. There's a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: lot of problems that need to be solved defensively that
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that offenses are creating. And I think just by like
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the numbers that are going around right now and the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: players that are on offense, I mean there's definitely some
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: some good stuff going on that these are more like
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: off season type projects or some special products we'll be
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: doing and you know, throughout the building right now. But yeah,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have to stay ahead of the curve.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: You have to kind of keep innovating otherwise, you know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: offenses are allowed to study too, and they have computers
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna they're gonna find things to try to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: exploit you as well. So you defensively, it's it's more reactionary,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: so you do have to kind of is it kind
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of kind of a hard thing to think about. You
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: do actually stay up to stay ahead of the offense
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: about their next move because they're the one kind of
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: dictating terms to you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Just a quick follow there. So when you're sourcing, you
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: know your next like approach or innovation. Is that generally
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: coming internally or are you looking you know, off season,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: whether are you looking out externally things going on another place?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think I think well it's both right now.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I mean right now in season, we're always thinking through
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the lens of who we have, what they can do,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: things that we're trying to either exploit or or through
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the lens of who we're playing and what it's going
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to take to win those specific situations. And a lot
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of times you're evolving off of what you feel like
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you've shown on tape or you're trying to exploit the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: guys that you have and kind of your resources. That's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the lens that we look at it through. And then
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you know, throughout the course of the season there's going
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to be times in areas where you feel like you're
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: falling short, or maybe you've got a little stagnant and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you need some more ideas and then you kind of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: kind of source what's going on out there, what's uh,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: what are the best teams doing at that point to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: try to inspire you on some ideas. And definitely in
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the off season you're gonna you're gonna hit it head
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: on bye weeks, you know, when you have extra time
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to study, you're definitely gonna do some things. But it's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit more targeted, you know, it's more situational,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and I think as you get in the off season,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: it's probably more broad about the direction you want to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: take your defense. A lot of it's around like language
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and how you build everything. Thanks coach mas Veda.
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: And Mike, you mentioned the importance of the walk through time.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: You know, when you talk to us, how do you
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: measure a good walkthrough? Is that something that relates to
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: how you practice and then the game.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean we call it like, uh call
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it it's inexpensive. Really good reps call it like metal sweat,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And so it's to me, it's all about the intent
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: going into a walkthrough. So anytime walking between the white lines,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: if our intense right, the tempos and all those things
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that talk about methods, those things are going to change
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: on what we're trying to get done. But if we're
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: on our stuff, if we're communicating obnoxiously, is the language
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: we like to use, you don't, You're not really looking
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: for execution at that point. It's not time yet because
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the it's harder part of the teaching progression.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: But you're looking to see where it's some maybe some
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: maybe some chinks and on how on how the thing
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: has been built and see if there's things you need
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to attack when you do at full speed. But it
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: all starts with intent, Bob.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, similar to Brady's question on Ryan Grubb. But I'm
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: just curious about as well, your thoughts on how Scott obviously,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I mean a line just sort of how you've seen
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: him handle that and get to this point of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: season with that with that group.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Bob, I heard the first third and the last third
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of your question and then I missed the middle. Can
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: you rephrase it for me?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just Scott hop similar to what Brady asks you
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: about Ryan Grub, but just but just Scott sort of
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: the job he's done and managing the challenges. Obviously, there's
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: as we've all detailed that a lot of moving parts
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: there with the personnel that you've had on the offensive line,
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: just sort of how you've seen him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Well, he's been a steadying force for those guys, bringing
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: it every day. The tension of detail to connect the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: offensive line room, especially when when there's a lot of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: moving parts, is not an easy job. I thought he's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: done a tremendous job with that. And just a person
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in the building, just someone that you just love being around.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And uh, he's doing a great job leading our run
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: pod group and so it's great to see us make
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: strides in that area because we needed to and he
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: knows that, and uh, he's it's not for a lack
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of urgency or a lack of trying. So anytime again,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just go back to defense, like, Hey,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: we're having troubles in our run defense. Do you do
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: You go to work, keep hammering it out, keep keep
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: making some tweaks here and there to make it work,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you start to make
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: some progress and then you can kind of keep building
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: from there. I think the way he's led our group
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in our run department has had the same mentality. So
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: it's been it's been a he's done a good job
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: working through I wouldn't say it's like a fun process
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: right now. I mean it's a it's a we're right it,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: we're in the right in a thick of things. John Boyle.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike, you talked earlier about the offensive line benefiting
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: from that continuity. Is the same maybe true of the secondary.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: You know, you've gone a stretch where you you've had
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the same three corners, you've had Kobe out there with
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: that group is kind of playing together and learning each
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: other and all that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, i'd say, Uh, I mean the linebackers are
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a big part of that too, Ray Sean playing the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: nickel ant dime spot.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: But absolutely. I mean again we say when we talk
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: about like playing our coverages and stuff, it's not like
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: we're going to be reinventing everything every week. We want
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to stack these reps so you feel like, you know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: when it come December, this is it should be like
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the five hundredth time you've been repping this play, and
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: so your execution should be really spot on, and that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: that curve slows down when it's kind of new people
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and new cadences in terms of communication in there, so
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: having the same people and be able to stack those
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: reps and confidence is huge for us. But I will
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: say this, you know, if you come to our practice
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and you see our twos and threes on it, I
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: mean those guys are they're on their stuff too, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they're competing for playing time as well. So really everybody
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: has done a good job of really buying in and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: communicating at a high level and trying to be on
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the same page, so they're ready to play on Sundays.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Last question, Mike Sean Dugar, Hey, Mike.
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: Two for you. First one, quickly, in the postgame locker
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: room speech, you mentioned that you had screwed up the
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: opening drive and you think the offense for getting it
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: right back?
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: How did you screw it up?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of them we just without I mean,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: without trying to get into like competitive whatever is. It's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: just I could have put us in better spots to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: start the game in really multiple situations. So and that's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that's a decision you've got to make on how you
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: want to play to start. And I just made a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: couple of bad decisions through that lens, So I appreciate
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: our guys picking me up.
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: And the second part of that, why is it important
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: to you to kind of hold yourself accountable in those
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: public situations like letting the team know, Hey, I screwed up.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: How could you not do that? I mean just think
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: mass Veto asked it earlier, like how do you build
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: trust about being if you're going to say you're gonna
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: be in this thing together with them, and you're going
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: to hold your players accountable for what you expect to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: them and you want them, you want them to be
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: in it with you and understanding what their expectations are
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: as well. Well, my job and our job as coaches
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: is to consistently put our guys in position to be successful.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And when you don't do that, uh, you feel like crap.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: So you know, so I appreciate the guys picking me
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: up in that moment, and you know, in my mind,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I got to make it right to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: him and so we can finish thing the right this
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: thing the right way. Thank you, Thanks everyone, We'll see
• 18:17
