00:00 >> Is there a sense of urgency with this game or is it kind of business as usual?
00:03 >> Absolutely, I mean, there's some of both.
00:05 I think your process doesn't change, but
00:06 I think you have to double down on your process.
00:08 The things that had us winning four in a row, the attention to detail,
00:12 how we practice, how we walk through.
00:14 I think all that stuff has to come back in a big way this week.
00:17 >> Platt and Highsmith are both in the concussion protocol for them.
00:20 Do you have to prepare any differently, wondering if they're gonna play or not,
00:23 or just kind of keep your head down and not pay attention to that?
00:26 >> I don't know, I think you gotta kind of prepare that they're playing.
00:29 Both really good players.
00:31 I think we'll have a plan for them.
00:33 If they don't play, we adjust as that goes.
00:35 But definitely have to prepare, cuz they are really good.
00:38 >> They're not the steel curtain, but
00:40 what stands out to you from this defense that you've seen so far?
00:43 >> Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's that same, you play the Steelers defense,
00:46 they have their own brand of ball.
00:48 It's very physical, tough.
00:49 These backers play downhill, they're really good up front.
00:53 So I mean, I think it's still that brand of ball that they've always carried.
00:57 >> Is there something that really did stick out when you were watching the tape
00:59 that's like, this was my personal mistake that I kept making?
01:03 >> That was the thing, I think it was kind of all across the board,
01:06 like here and there.
01:07 There wasn't any one thing in particular.
01:10 I think we all had stuff that we'd clean up.
01:12 But if one guy makes a mistake on every play,
01:15 you can end up with a mess on your hands, and that's kind of what happened.
01:18 >> It's not totally a primetime game, but
01:19 do you kind of relish the opportunity to play in the national spotlight this
01:23 weekend?
01:24 >> Not necessarily, man.
01:25 Just excited to go play 11 on 11, that's what matters.
01:28 We're just trying to find wins with however we can get them.
01:31 >> Is there an adjustment with the shorter day, with one fewer day this week?
01:34 I mean, I know you guys try to keep the same schedule, but
01:36 it's a quick, we're here on Tuesday.
01:37 >> Yeah, a little bit.
01:38 Your preparation gets turned around.
01:40 I think you gotta get your body going a little bit quicker.
01:42 You kind of lose a day.
01:43 But I think the coaches did a great job putting the schedule in front of us last
01:47 week.
01:48 We've been ready for this, and I think everybody's on it.
