00:02 - Yeah, that's the, you know,
00:12 that's the big thing that they do.
00:13 They have an elite front, right?
00:14 And so you have this elite front that makes you
00:17 not be able to hold the ball very long.
00:19 And then you have these zone defenders
00:20 that are their eyes are on you and playing to your game.
00:23 So that's the, that's what they play into.
00:25 And then, you know, and then like the,
00:27 the few number of explosives that these guys give up too.
00:30 So like, you're not getting behind them.
00:32 So you gotta be detailed.
00:33 You gotta be in time.
00:34 Timing and rhythm is critical
00:35 when you play zone defenses like this.
00:37 And then the rest of the guys have to be on too, right?
00:39 Violent to the tuck, drop step, getting vertical,
00:41 all that stuff, you know,
00:42 making sure we have good ball security.
00:44 'Cause that's what, that's what we play these teams
00:45 that have the vision to the ball.
00:47 They're gonna be, you know,
00:48 the contact's gonna happen right away.
00:49 And honestly, I don't even,
00:50 I wouldn't even look at it like that as far as points.
00:53 I really, I really don't try to do that.
00:55 You know, you wanna look at your execution.
00:56 You wanna make sure that you're,
00:58 you're doing things that are fundamentally sound
01:00 or your players fundamentals,
01:01 where they're supposed to be.
01:03 Are you giving yourself a chance in every situation?
01:06 And there's areas we gotta improve on.
01:07 There's areas we're doing well.
01:08 And I think as long as we continue to get better
01:11 at those things and start to, you know,
01:12 continue to eliminate the things
01:14 that we're not doing so well,
01:14 or that we need to get a little bit better at,
01:16 that's, that's the track, right?
01:17 The points, you know, make it look better,
01:20 but the wins are what we're trying to get.
01:22 And you have to win games a bunch of different ways
01:23 in this league.
01:24 It's not always, you know,
01:26 what Baltimore and Miami had last week.
01:28 That's like, whatever you dream of that for every game,
01:30 but that's not realistic in this game.
01:32 When you're going to Lambeau field,
01:33 like, you know, you're going in for a grimy game.
01:36 You know, the going forward part,
01:38 that's like, again, that's,
01:39 that's something that's bigger than where we're at right now.
01:41 'Cause we're thinking about Green Bay, right?
01:43 This is, we're all, we're all in that mindset.
01:46 We have a great relationship.
01:47 We work really well together.
01:49 He inspires me on a daily with his mentality,
01:53 his focus, his faith, all that stuff.
01:54 So we have a, we have a really good relationship.
01:57 And I think Justin's, you know, future is super bright.
02:00 - Luke, you've said, you know, I mean, that's a,
02:02 that's obviously a pretty intense question.
02:04 You know, one that you do after the season
02:06 when you were able to take some time to reflect.
02:08 And I think, you know, at the end of last year,
02:10 we felt like we were,
02:11 we were doing a lot of really good things.
02:12 Our processes were good.
02:14 Our people were good.
02:16 The type of people that we,
02:17 that we have in the building to be able to go through
02:19 anything that we've gone through and do what we're doing.
02:21 And, you know, following the leadership of Ryan and Floose.
02:24 And we have the,
02:26 we have the right type of people in the building.
02:27 So that part was really good to see.
02:29 And I think as our progress has gone this year,
02:31 you've heard me say it countless times.
02:33 Like, it's just really important
02:34 that we just get better each and every day.
02:36 And I feel like no matter what it looks like sometimes
02:40 to the outside world,
02:41 when you're inside and you're diving deep,
02:43 you really know if it is or isn't.
02:44 And I think the guys in the room, they all feel it.
02:47 They know it.
02:48 They're excited about what's to come.
02:49 And, and I think, you know,
02:51 we can say that we have continued to do that.
