00:00 Given your knowledge of offense, do you get involved at all in terms of the defense and say,
00:04 hey, let's change this because as a play caller, I would call this again.
00:08 Yeah, look, I'll visit with Vance and that staff like what's your thoughts going into this game?
00:12 What are we at personnel wise? How many packages do we need?
00:16 We'll talk about game day activations early in the week and then, you know, periodically.
00:22 Hey, how are we eliminating one of their better players?
00:25 You know, this week we're seeing, you know, one of these elite receivers who was rookie of the year,
00:29 a year ago, he gets a lot of targets.
00:32 Those discussions take place. Now, I'm not sitting in on every meeting throughout the process,
00:37 but I think that's my role as a head coach.
00:42 It's a fair question. And I think I'd like to say that, you know,
00:47 I felt this way after the win, you know, and I was a little bit guarded.
00:52 I was excited we fought back. Clearly, we're playing well in the kicking game right now.
00:58 Offensively, I feel like we can be a lot more efficient.
01:02 And then defensively, the number one thing are these explosives,
01:05 you know, that especially with the type of defense we're playing, you know, that has to get cleaned up.
01:13 And so what I'd like to be sitting here at the quarter pole four weeks in where were those things.
01:20 Yeah, I would. And yet, you know, it's still something that we have to see each week addressed and get cleaned up.
01:28 Offensively, I mentioned it relative to the operation.
01:32 Our red zone numbers were good last week. And yet, you know,
01:36 there's still enough meat on the bone when you actually look at the tape closely.
