00:00 >> Well, it's gonna be, as Mike likes to say, the two dog, one bone type deal.
00:05 We're gonna see how those guys practice and
00:07 see who we feel best about this week.
00:11 And then we'll make a decision as we get closer to game day.
00:13 But they're all gonna get reps this week and
00:15 we're gonna make that decision a little closer to the end of the week.
00:19 >> General, have you seen this game respond to adversity?
00:21 Are you getting what you need to from the practice situation, efforts,
00:25 stuff like that?
00:26 >> The effort's good, the meeting, attentiveness is good.
00:29 Our guys are dialed in.
00:31 Sometimes you just don't get the results you want,
00:33 you just don't get the play you want.
00:35 But I don't ever think, being around these guys,
00:37 I don't ever think that's from a lack of effort, a lack of want to,
00:41 a lack of inner fortitude, anything like that.
00:45 It's just sometimes stuff is bad.
00:48 And it's all, the only way we can get out of it is us just kind of play through it.
00:52 And I think that's what our guys are doing.
00:53 We're really working hard.
00:55 I got no problems with the work ethic.
00:56 I got no problems with how guys are approaching meetings and
01:00 how we're working on the practice field.
01:02 And eventually those results, they'll start to show.
01:04 We always wanted it to happen yesterday, but sometimes it doesn't.
01:10 And so it's our job as coaches to keep them moving in the right direction.
01:13 And it's easy with this group because they have been.
