00:00I've been a lot more prepared for the types of questions that they've been asking.

00:14I've also changed my frame of mind a little bit and instead of worrying solely about the

00:20offense and what we're doing right here, I've been able to have off seasons and summers

00:25to think about big picture view, what a program would look like where I'm running it.

00:31And so I think that way, I'm a lot more prepared for the questions that come my way and a much

00:37more comfortable answer.

00:38And I'm not taking it.

00:39I'm going to stay focused on the main thing right here.

00:41And that's going to be the Washington Commanders right here now.

00:44That's what we're about.

00:45I told the head coach when we came in, he asked me about how it went this weekend.

00:49It went great.

00:50And that's the end of it.

00:52The focus right here now for the players, for the coaching staff, for everybody in this

00:56building is about this game, this one.

00:58I know nothing of that nature.

01:01I met him, the Packers game on the field.

01:06I saw him for a second in pregame.

01:07That's the first time I've ever met him.

01:09And that's it.

01:11I think I told you guys this last year, he is beyond qualified right now.

01:15You hear all of our players singing his praises right now and that's exactly what I would

01:19do.

01:20I would second that.

01:21He is more prepared to be a head coach than maybe anybody I've ever met.

01:25He wants that.

01:27And I think he's doing a phenomenal job in charge.
