00:00I've coached in the NFL for 14 years and I've coached in LA, I've coached in the
00:05East Coast so I kind of understand how we did it but we hired our head
00:10athletic trainer was in the NFL for 23 years he was the head trainer for the
00:13Cardinals for 15 years so he's lived through that travel so for us it's more
00:20along the lines of what do we what do we know is right what do we believe is
00:24right you're never really a hundred percent sure I can give you stories of
00:29times that we left the day before and won by 30 the times that we left the
00:35two days before and lost by 30 and vice versa you know the the greatest saying
00:40is how do you win on the road you bring a good team that's the key not what time
00:45you get there but we are going to be very aware of when we're going to go to
00:51Penn State I believe we'll go the day before I don't think we'll go two days
00:55before because it's a night game we'll leave for Iowa two days before because
01:00it'll be a day game and we'll try to play it accordingly based on what we
01:05think is the best for their circadian rhythm and how hard is that I mean like
01:08State College is probably the toughest place you guys have to get to pretty
01:11remote Central PA tiny Airport how much of a factor has that been on your ops
01:16people in terms of getting them out there and getting those site visits in
01:19yeah well we're we're confident we can land a 737 there so the runway is tough
01:26yeah I know I've done it so we're gonna have to you're not jinxing us right now
01:33and sending us to Harrisburg but you know we were aware of all the different
01:39aspects of it and you know we will probably take two planes to make sure
01:44that we get it the way we need it we do obviously it's a long trip it's a
01:49five and a half hour trip probably for us from Seattle but you know it'll be a
01:54good way for our guys to do a lot of homework
