 I don't hide them. I just set them out right there on the base of their lockers Yeah for the players, I'm not telling you man. It's still a couple days Yeah, they haven't gotten them yet, so I haven't given them yet Yeah Yeah, I'm trying to think it depends All that matters is what the guys like it's not which one I liked, you know getting for them, but We've done a bunch of different things the worst or not the worst But I got them drones one time and one of the drones was broken within They were pretty expensive drones to there was broken within like ten minutes. I was like But gotten a lot of different things I appreciate those guys Yeah, I think you know it's back to back to the details You know obviously didn't rush it as well as we would have liked last week But you know it comes back to the same thing speed off the ball making sure that you know We're doing a good job up front into our combination blocks backs are on their tracks wide receivers are you know Giving great effort on the outside to get on the second level and you know I'm doing my job of getting us into the right place and so You know, I think it's it's the little things doing the little things right over and over and over It's what makes the run game come to life You Yes, it's just part of it, you know and and part of of You know sports is that they're imperfect and so you have to you know find a way to overcome those type of things And so, you know whether I agree or disagree with the call doesn't make a difference you know, we had to find a way to get the ball in the end zone after that and We got to do a better job than we've done, you know up until that point I I guess haven't watched him play the beat being later in the year, you know and haven't seen him play, you know, so much in LA You know, I guess it won't be as strange, but you know, it's definitely a little different You know, we played a number of times against each other. So I'll be a little bit different But I think just being this time of the year and it being so much later. I feel like I Feel like I've gotten accustomed to it accustomed to seeing him in a different spot, right Yeah, I think it's just strange You know the the weird way so many of those games have have ended You know seemingly every team he thought was gonna win didn't end up winning those games Really since we played him in London a long time ago, so it's a strange coincidence for for whatever reason and You know, I'm not sure it'll continue to manifest itself as we move forward, but it's definitely there was a Strange period of time where those games were just decided by funny place Yeah, you know with the different staff being there you don't circle back to the to the same game film And so it doesn't come up You know, it doesn't come up as much as you would think there's more just You know thinking back on it Just in random times how strange some of those games have been I always think the ones we lost were you know We're strange for the ones we won were not that fluky, but No, you know the the one in London was was a strange deal. I just remember They had a penalty against them when they missed a field goal and but it was a dead ball penalty So they got another another chance at it. That was a hard one. That was a tough pill to swallow You know, there's there's still that chance, right? And so you have to handle your your end of the bargain and at the same time you know There shouldn't need to be any motivation. We're professional athletes and There's a lot of personal pride that goes with it and so I haven't seen that as an issue at all I think our guys have been locked in and we'll be ready to go But there is a chance we got to continue to compete and fight and do our part To extend that chance as long as we can He's look good, you know, he really has I think he's playing with really good effort You know has done a nice job for them this year. I always enjoyed Charles his teammate You know, he's quiet guy, but worked hard every day and you know, was a good person really You know always nice to see and spend time with and so I'm happy for him personally that he's playing well I Don't you know, I'm not sure how much it changes, you know What they'll do, you know on our end you stay on your side of the ball and make sure that we're gonna be as detailed as We can be and regardless of who's got the communicator on on the defensive side of the ball You know at the end of the day, we've got to handle our business and make sure that we're all on the same page Yeah, it's time, you know, obviously, you know, we have not played as well as we would like at home this year and it's time for us to you know, kind of change change that number and get a win and We've got to have great focus all week and make sure we have a really good week of preparation to give ourselves a chance To go play well on Sunday, but we'd like to change that for sure I Mean I don't want to speculate we'll see where Taj is at, you know later in the week I think Taj has done a good job for us all year you know, but it's Whoever's available has to be ready to go and You know our guys do a great job of working during the week Christian Blake Frank Darby those guys have been active for us at different times throughout the year and done a great job So if their numbers get called they'll be ready to go Yeah, a lot of days done a great job for us since he's been here. He's a reliable guy, you know, very smart You know does a lot of dirty work for us in the run game But also has vertical speed to be able to stretch it. I mean he's done that He's had those kind of catches, you know for a long time since he's been here. And so I Think he's you know continuing to grow as a player and doing a great job for us And I think Kyle is another guy who has improved steadily improved as the year has gone on and You know continues to learn and develop and make plays for us And you know, we're gonna need both those guys to play well for us Sunday. I don't think so, you know, I think you know We only get 17 opportunities given to us and so They're all, you know, really important you have to have that mindset that you have to go attack and approach everyone, you know the same way 17 of them at least in my mind Power Yeah, I think you know you you look at those things all week You know as as you're installing your game plan and trying to put in the plays that you want to run and you try and find What's your advantage is a space in the mountain trying to create space to? You know to get a gap to be able to move the chains or do you feel like the defense that you're going again? You're better off You know packing it in and trying to go with those power percentages and you know We've you know, I think our coaches do a great job of trying to you know gain planet and give us Every advantage we can I think as players it's our responsibility to make those plays come to life and to find ways Whether it is with power or space whatever that may be we got to find a way to get the job done What I mean, I don't know yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I mean I understand right you don't want to take the ball further away from where you're at You know, but score plenty of touchdowns from the gun and throwing plenty of them from the gun down there on the one yard line and you Think there's successful ways to do it. You know multiple different looks. Yeah, I'm not saying that's your those are your words Not mine. I'm just saying in my experience. We've we've had success doing it both ways I think you know route craft, you know understanding You know how to come out of cuts on different routes, you know what we're asking him to do Whether it be you know high angles or tighter angles coming out of those things bands own coverage You know being able to recognize that stuff quickly. I think also, you know releases releases are are the key You know, there's such great pass rush in this league that if you're not winning routes, you know within the first two or three yards It's gonna be tough to have the time to be able to make those things come to life And I think you know, he's continued to to get better at that We move them in a lot of different spots and ask him to do a lot of different things and I think mastering You know all those different spots where he's going is a work in progress But he's gotten a lot better But I think those two things coming out of the top of routes and releases is probably the two things like that go and notice Maybe but where he's continuing to grow and improve That's how it's it's hard to tell When you're around it every day, you know, it's like looking at yourself in the mirror You don't you don't see the changes every day when you're looking at yourself in the mirror You know, but at the end of the season when you have a chance to go back and look at everything and you see, you know, where You know where he started to where he is now it just feels like he's had incremental improvement and an understanding of You know what we're asking him to do there's less time for the two of us communicating about what I expect on certain things And that's where you see a lot of growth I know trying to hold that there Yeah, for sure, you know, those are things you see as you're working, you know during the offseason or you know during training camp when you get You know day after day after day of working with him and you start to kind of mental note it and say, okay, you know there are times where With certain players that you play with they can do special things and you have to give them opportunities to be able to do that and You know, I think those those kind of opportunities are only going to grow for him as he continues to progress in our offense and You know, but you do see it I saw it pretty early on that that he was capable of doing some of those things Actually Saturday is pretty good You know home game those kind of things Friday is usually, you know our shorter day, you know during the week And so you have a lot of your preparation done By the time you get out of the building on Friday afternoon and to be able to have Christmas Christmas Eve Be able to have that night and then Saturday morning, you know arts done a great job of giving us time You know to spend with our families Um, and then get into the hotel later in the afternoon and kind of checking back in I think it actually works out You know really well, you know, whereas sometimes you can land on a Wednesday Thursday or or whatever, which are your big work days. It makes it more difficult in those kind of situations Uh, just just um in-laws and and parents coming down, which would be nice. Yeah Yeah, I think, you know, we'll See where everybody's at, you know later in the week when it's time to fly but I think like everybody else You know, you're trying to be as safe as you possibly can My confidence has always been high, you know in rus. I think, you know He's another guy who started on practice squad and then, you know, god opportunities continue to get better worked at it and has really, you know Turned into a very good player. I think, you know the way this year shook out He was injured early in the year took some time and and then getting your legs back underneath you when you're playing games It's different And I think he's he's really gotten back to where he's he's playing like himself now And you know, I thought he played really well for us the other day But my confidence has always been high and you know, I do think the ball finds the guys, you know You just have to stay with it and he's done a great job of that all year of just Staying the course and when he's got his chances go make him plays. No, no, I've seen it We're not out there, you know, just winging it Uh You know, you have belief in in the guys and you trust, you know, the matchups that you have and Um, there's a lot of work that goes in during the week of knowing, you know, which Which routes we like our one-on-ones on Players that we're going against All those type of things and you're trying to process that process that information, you know when it comes up and so I like, you know, Russ on on a lot of our matchups But certainly the two chances he got on on go balls the last game. I thought he did a great job Maybe he needs to make more of those plays. Uh, he looked pretty good to me with that. So No, he's done he's done it in practice. I mean, that's a lot of this stuff starts You know with with stuff people don't see and you know belief and and trust and and you know A confidence and giving guys chances comes from really good work on the practice field and that's where you've got to earn it Like I think it's something he's gotten a lot better at we talk about being open in the timing of the play and You know You can double up and triple up and do four different moves that you want to do to create separation But if it doesn't happen within the timing of how we're reading Uh progression wise, you know, you're just not going to get the ball And I think he's done a great job of of developing a rhythm and an understanding Of what the timing of the play is and you know, we talked in the past game It comes down to timing spacing and trust and I think he's doing a really good job, you know with all three of those right now I mean, it's a little annoying during the week, you know of terms of Yeah, you know in terms of of categorizing, you know, who's who But again, we spend a lot of time up here, you know during the week and you know I don't think when it comes to game day, it's changed You know how well, you know, you'd probably just spend a little bit more time than you normally would Or that, you know, I would have in the past on, you know, what numbers are bigs what numbers are littles What numbers are backers what numbers are corners Um, but if you're watching film, you know, and you're you're breaking down during the week You get a feel for who's who pretty quickly Yeah, I think so and I also think, you know 13 years of knowing what a defense looks like and what guys are supposed to be in certain spots Helps, you know and the outliers you kind of make Notes of during the week to to give you a heads up for To I weren't in high school. That was always always my favorite number I don't know. I tim couch was wearing it when I was in like eighth grade or whatever seventh eighth grade He was at kentucky and was throwing for like five thousand yards every year in college And I just remember watching being like, oh man That's that's the guy you want to you know, that's that's how you want to play in college And so that's why I started wearing it, but I don't know. I just always wore it basketball baseball those kind of things What's that He said no, no, no, I'm a traditionalist
