00:00Anthony, with you guys sitting at four and eight,

00:03you mentioned the last quarter of the season now.

00:06What are you emphasizing to the players as you take on these last four games?

00:10We're gonna finish, we're gonna fight.

00:13I mean, I told them football's like life.

00:15We've been knocked down, we're gonna get the hell up.

00:17And it's very important that we finish this season.

00:20So it's not about our character, it's coach Steph and the team.

00:24How do you balance that and

00:25maybe take a look at some of the younger guys that are in the roster?

00:28Are you considering that at all?

00:29Or is it just all about winning?

00:30No, we're here to win, so we want to win every single one of these sevens.

00:34And if a young guy can come up and help us, then of course, we'll let him play.

00:37But right now, no, we're not saying no better.

00:40You've got a pretty decent sample size here of Shane Collin plays now,

00:43since week nine.

00:44How do you feel like he's done overall?

00:46Has he- I think Shane's done a good job overall.

00:50I think the offense has moved all the way down the field and

00:52just had, like I said, over and over again, too many turnovers.

00:57That's stalled life, it's taking points off the board.

00:59But I think overall, he's played colors, we're fine.

01:02I mean, not perfect, but it's been fine.

01:04It seems like the trick plays haven't been working out this year.

01:07What's going on there?

01:08Well, it didn't work last night.

01:10You go, you talk about, so those are always our house of council plays.

01:17When they work, they're genius.

01:19When they don't work, they're an idiot.

01:20All right, let's catch up.

01:24Thanks, Ed.
