00:00 Did you foresee it being using all three of your guys at different times when you started out with this?
00:05 I think that's part of preparation is to, you know, expect the unexpected.
00:10 You know, you want to hopefully things work out well, but having those contingency plans and the what-ifs
00:15 and that kind of goes back to my military background in terms of you're preparing for a mission
00:20 and it's not something that anybody wants, but it's part of the game in terms of injuries or what have you.
00:25 And so, you know, it really just reinforces the philosophy of just trying to make sure everyone makes the most of their opportunities,
00:32 the mental reps, and trying to make sure that everything in the meeting is detailed.
00:37 And we do have very interactive meetings and you want to make sure it's not just, you know, there's three guys in there.
00:42 And, you know, I learned this a long time ago, a good quarterback room is a noisy room,
00:45 meaning there's lots of communication, lots of dialogue, and there can be disagreements and agreements
00:49 and just try to come up with the best possible solution.
00:51 If Kenny is healthy, is it going to strictly come down to which quarterback gives you the best chance to win?
00:59 And if not, what other things go into that?
01:00 Again, and when it comes down to availability, health, any type of, you know, projections, that's Coach Thomas' area of expertise.
01:10 Would you ever expect you'd be calling plays again?
01:13 You know, I was so fortunate, still feel very fortunate to be a part of this great organization.
01:19 Love the community, love our fans. I know it's been a rocky road.
01:23 It's just zeroing in on that and as circumstances have put us in this position,
01:27 now it's just zeroing in on the opportunity that's at hand, and that is to beat Seattle.
