00:00 Um, so I think the big point of emphasis that, um, you know, like we'd like to make moving forward is we still got to stay focused on execution. It's not just about making place. And most of the issues that we have in games.
00:17 Um, offense defense doesn't really matter. Come down to, are we communicating and is everybody on the same page? And when we do that, we seem to have really good results. And sometimes when we don't, we give up plays that we probably shouldn't, you know, give up.
00:38 So, um, you know, that's going to be the big point of emphasis and watching the film today with the players is to get them to really sort of focus on the importance of communicating and everybody being on the same page where the two are blocking up front, how we're covering and adjusting the motions, you know, in secondary, whatever, whatever.
00:58 Uh, so that we get on the same page, um, you know, Chattanooga obviously has had a really good season. Uh, the players, you know, play hard to compete. Well, rusty, right. Has done, you know, a really good job there. I think they're like second in their league, seven and three only lost two games in their league.
01:16 So, uh, one of the most productive, um, offensive teams, if you've got a good quarterback, they've got good receivers. Uh, they run the ball with good balance. They're really well coached, you know, defensively. This guy, Jay Pearson is, you know, got lots of sacks and lots of tackles for losses and these guys play hard.
01:36 And, um, like always, you know, this is a great opportunity for these guys to, to play, you know, in a game that they probably dream, dream about for our team.
01:48 Um, this is either a game that you focus on correctly, you go out and practice and prepare correctly and you build on, you know, the momentum that you've improved with over the last weeks.
02:03 Um, and that helps you get better for what's coming up in the future. Um, so if you don't do that, you don't have a good showing. You sort of lose your rhythm and, you know, rhythm is a little bit like momentum.
02:22 You know, sometimes you lose momentum in the game. It's hard to get it back. So you got to always play the next play and keep answering the bell. And, you know, that's really kind of how we need to approach, you know, this game in terms of, you know, what our focus is and, um, how we want to continue to improve as a team.
02:40 If you're going to peak at the right time, you can't have peaks and valleys. You got to keep going in the right direction. And that's what we want to get our players to focus on this week and practice in preparation for this game.
02:51 Start off top of the day.
