00:00Eyes up, moving forward, excited about the opportunity.

00:09This will not be a one-man show.

00:10I'm excited to kind of work and collaborate with our entire staff and our players to fix

00:14the problems that we do have.

00:16Had a great conversation yesterday with Caleb about my thoughts moving forward, issues to

00:22fix, and just had a phenomenal walkthrough.

00:25Guys were upbeat, moving around, being really detailed.

00:28So excited about practice.

00:29Yeah, I mean, I put no limitations on our success at all.

00:32The goal is to not focus as much on being perfect, but chasing excellence every single

00:37day.

00:38So that's our goal.

00:39It's our focus to prepare the right way to go play in the game.

00:42Here's what I say about fixing the problem.

00:44So it starts every day we walk in the building.

00:46What I said to the team today and to our office of staff and players is two things you control

00:51when you walk in the building.

00:52It's your effort and your attitude.

00:55So it starts there first, right?

00:56How we approach the meetings, being detailed, being locked in, and then transferring that

01:00to the actual practice field, being consistent about the walkthrough, but also making practice

01:04as hard as humanly possible so the game can somewhat become easier.

01:08So to me, that's going to be our focus, what we're locked in on.

01:10And so understanding that practice preparation always leads to game day execution.

01:14So that's our focus.

01:15I think when it comes to just natural ability from throwing the football is, I think, clearly

01:19and obvious.

01:20I think being able to understand how to get the ball out of his hands as fast as possible

01:23when it comes to the constants we kind of just end up dialing up.

01:27But also being able to let him use his natural God-given ability at times when it's relevant.

01:33Not every play, but when it comes to especially situational ball, third down, red zone, and

01:37come alive with that.
