Jim Schwartz Says They Don't Give Out Trophies For 5 Weeks

Transcript

00:00 A couple of weeks ago, you talked about dealing with success.

00:04 D-Constance is getting a lot of love nationally right now.

00:07 How do you tamp it down and make sure?

00:10 Well, you know, they don't give out any trophies for five weeks.

00:14 I think we all know that.

00:16 It's a long season, and we're going to have to survive

00:19 a lot of highs and lows throughout the season.

00:22 We have some experienced players.

00:23 We have some experienced coaches that have been there

00:25 that know that, and I think that's one of the things

00:28 that, you know, that keeps us grounded.

00:32 You know, so, you know, let me know when the five-week stats

00:36 are part of the tiebreaker.

00:38 You know, when they are, we'll really concentrate on that.

00:41 You know, we're trying -- we're trying to be good

00:44 each and every game,

00:45 find a way to give ourselves a chance to win every Sunday

00:48 and try to be consistent.

00:50 As the NFL, you're not always going to have

00:52 a great performance every week,

00:54 but we need to find a way to minimize our poor performances,

00:57 minimize our poor plays, and accentuate our positives

01:01 and keep our eyes on that, you know, that destination.

01:06 You know, sometimes you can react

01:08 and overreact to short-term things.

01:11 You know, you can paddle the canoe too hard on one side,

01:14 and, you know, and then you're adjusting,

01:16 and pretty soon you're just weaving,

01:18 and you're constantly trying to course --

01:19 excuse me, course correct

01:21 instead of keeping your eye on that point in the distance.

01:26 and sort of keeping yourself on the right course.
