00:00 >> I feel you talked a lot about the mindset and preparation and
00:02 practice coming off a Saturday.
00:04 Have you noticed anything different just coming, getting back to this week?
00:07 >> Yeah, I mean, I think we've had two solid days of practice so far.
00:10 Just like the urgency.
00:12 Anytime you lose a game, I mean, it's the sad part of it, but
00:16 when you lose a game, it puts a lot of things in perspective.
00:18 And opens up a lot of holes that you don't really see, even when you win.
00:22 So just coming back here and just coming to work every single day.
00:25 We've tried to do that for the past two days and we gotta build on that.
00:28 >> What kind of responsibility is one of the veteran guys on this team comes with
00:32 making sure everybody realizes that you can learn from this and
00:35 there's a lot of football to go?
00:37 >> Yeah, I mean, it's just being a veteran guy, it's just like it's,
00:40 practice is important.
00:42 I mean, everyone's looking at you for practice.
00:44 So if I'm slacking, if I'm walking around on the practice field,
00:48 then everyone's gonna look at me and say, that's okay,
00:50 that's what we're supposed to do.
00:51 So every day, you gotta come back to work and
00:54 let people know that, yeah, we lost the game.
00:56 I mean, morality of the thing is that's gonna happen, that happens.
00:59 I mean, it doesn't need to happen, but it happened.
01:02 There's nothing we can do about it.
01:02 So we don't wanna let that one loss transpire into more losses.
01:05 So just losing that, it's an absurdity, so
01:08 we can just play better for the next couple weeks.
