00:00 You know, we have it developed in some ways
00:02 that we would like to.
00:04 And fundamentally, poor might be an exaggeration.
00:08 But it also, in some ways, is accurate.
00:10 Because there's December levels of execution,
00:14 and then there's September levels of execution.
00:16 And five penalties from a unit is September-like,
00:20 to be quite honest with you.
00:22 That's going to slow you down in December
00:24 when you're trying to drive, engineer, and keep pace,
00:26 and score, and do the things that you're
00:28 doing when you're engineering victory this time of year.
00:31 And so in some instances, that might be an exaggeration.
00:37 But from the perspective in which I sit,
00:38 in terms of what needs to happen this time of year,
00:41 that's why I refer to it as poor.
00:42 Mike, there's only so many personnel changes
00:44 you can make in that regard.
00:45 How do you get their attention to get a better play?
00:49 We're going to continue to work every day.
00:50 How much of that is a reflection on the coaching staff
00:53 and what you guys are imparting to the team?
00:55 A lot of it.
00:56 That's why I opened my post game the way that I did.
00:58 I said that that starts with me.
01:01 Forget the coaching staff.
01:02 It starts with me.
01:04 Just to follow up on that, where can you
01:06 think you'd be better as a coach?
01:09 Man, we're going to work every day.
01:10 We're going to have a can-do attitude.
01:12 We're not going to be helpless.
01:14 We're going to be helpful, the collective individuals.
01:18 I'm excited about getting started to work tomorrow.
01:20 I think that's one of the beautiful and challenging
01:23 things of our league, man.
01:25 It's every week in this league.
01:27 One week you're drinking wine, the next week you're
01:29 squashing grapes.
01:30 Obviously, we've squashed a lot of grapes of late.
01:33 I'm interested in a little wine.
