...game over the past month or so.
00:02
What's the message been in general
00:05
and the mindset from offensive line
00:07
and running backs to coaching staff?
00:08
Overall, everyone's got to be more detailed.
00:10
So, you know, sometimes it can be a half-second,
00:14
getting to your responsibility.
00:16
You can be a little more physical at the point of attack,
00:17
doing a better job cutting off on the backside,
00:20
hitting the hole exactly how it needs to be done,
00:23
motion timing, so, again,
00:25
we're being really hard on everything
00:28
to make sure that no detail is left uncovered
00:30
so that we can be better going forward
00:32
and let that be a better part of our game.
00:33
Is it fair to say it's physically fixable?
00:36
Absolutely. I mean, you know,
00:38
the difficult part about that last game
00:39
is we had four really good possessions,
00:42
and then the fourth and one didn't go our way,
00:43
and then I think we had three real plays after that,
00:46
and so you didn't get a chance to commit to it further,
00:51
and that's something we need to find a way to be able to do,
00:53
and that starts with me.
00:54
How confident are you that, you know,
00:56
this game is going to go way wide,
00:58
the margin for error to go to the postseason slips a little bit more?
01:02
Yeah. I mean, I don't know how many times I can say
01:04
we're just focused on this game
01:06
and trying to find a win to create some momentum for ourselves.
01:10
With that said, there is a lot of talk out there
01:11
about the margin for error for this team,
01:13
and you have reiterated that the message
01:16
remains the same every week.
01:17
What makes you confident that the guys at the locker room
01:20
can keep that message front of mind
01:23
when there is so much noise around?
01:24
Yeah, just the quality of people we have in there.
01:27
So when you believe in the coaches
01:28
and you believe in the players doing it,
01:30
there's always a way that you can find,
01:32
and I'm confident this team can find a way to do that,
01:35
and so when you're in there every day in the meeting rooms
01:38
and at practice, you know, it just takes...
01:41
We lost some close games.
01:43
This was the least close game that we've lost.
01:45
I don't really feel like it was what the score indicated.
01:47
It got away from us there at the very end
01:49
on those last couple plays, and so, again,
01:51
these guys still believe that we're right there on the fringe
01:54
and we just got to stick with it.
01:55
We haven't played half our games yet,
01:57
so there's going to be a lot of opportunity left,
01:58
and I think when guys understand that opportunity
02:01
and what's in front of us,
02:03
the opponents we're going to have to play well against
02:05
to find a way to get in, these guys still believe in it,
02:08
and so it gives me a lot of confidence being around them.
02:11
Zach, two-part question.
02:12
When you, regarding the trade deadline,
02:15
when you see other teams make deals,
02:18
I assume you pay attention. Do you have any reaction?
02:20
I'm aware of it. It doesn't affect me in any way.
02:23
It's just we focus on what we're doing,
02:25
and that's really all.
02:28
I know I love this time of year
02:30
because I get a lot of trade deadline questions,
02:32
and it's just on the peripheral.
02:34
We're so focused on the Raiders and finding a way to win,
02:38
and if ever there's a time,
02:40
personnel comes to my office and asks me a question,
02:42
and then great, but in the meantime,
02:44
we just focus on Las Vegas.
02:47
That was going to be my follow-up is,
02:50
what percentage of your time, if there's much at all,
02:54
dedicated to talking with the front office
02:56
and keeping up to date?
02:57
All the time, several times a week.
02:59
I think it's as good of a relationship as you can have
03:01
in terms of the communication with Duke and the other scouts,
03:04
and so, again, it's when you've got a really good relationship,
03:08
you trust each other,
03:09
the communication doesn't have to be every day.
03:11
It can be through text, through call,
03:13
through popping down in the office,
03:15
so we're on the same page there, which is good.
03:16
And that goes all the way up to the top of the organization.
03:20
Yeah, I really truly think we do as good of a job
03:23
as anywhere in terms of the overall communication
03:25
and the day-to-day interaction,
03:26
and so that's really good communication on that end.
