00:00 I think that's just that's what a lot of coaches do and
00:03 that's what I've something I've always always done and always thought,
00:07 you know, when a coach did that for me was appreciative of it, but
00:10 also knew that that coach was going to correct it after the fact,
00:15 but knowing that, you know, you know, when I played I was a long time ago,
00:19 knowing a coach had my back was really important to me and
00:23 you're a product of things that you went through, you know, and I know that's important,
00:26 you know, I felt like that would be important to them as well and
00:29 then we just move on and we correct the mistakes that we make from that myself and
00:34 the players.
00:35 >> How do you handle that?
00:37 And is that difficult to like,
00:39 [INAUDIBLE]
00:41 really know exactly what happened that you can't explain?
00:44 >> No, cuz I think, I mean, pride's always,
00:46 pride is a thing that's always dangerous and you gotta,
00:50 I've seen too many times where pride is a, you know, something that deteriorates teams.
00:55 And so you have to put pride aside and
00:58 you have to just say, you know, what you believe, how you believe to do it.
01:02 And so, no, I don't find that hard because we're a team and
01:07 like I say to you guys all the time, the best thing I can be right now at 42 years old
01:11 is to be part of a football team that's special.
01:14 And that's just what teams do and that's what good teams do.
