00:00 >> How much different does your running game work now than the way you or
00:05 Justin or Ryan might have thought in August?
00:08 Which different was what you just pictured?
00:10 >> Not that much different.
00:17 You just try to figure out what they do best and
00:19 what fits the running back to the best and who's the best.
00:23 But ultimately, it's not like
00:30 it's drastically different, but the running game and succeeding at this level,
00:35 it's about the details and a lot of things.
00:39 High levels of execution takes just a little bit to be honest.
00:41 So, but I do think we got a pretty good idea now,
00:46 finally, what our guys do best.
00:49 So now we gotta go be at our best.
00:53 >> Nathan Barrett, Cleveland.com.
00:55 [INAUDIBLE]
01:05 >> Well, like you said, those guys, that group, they came in and
01:12 played a bunch early on.
01:13 And it was great because we're starting to see them play like veterans in year three.
01:20 When usually guys are coming into their own in year three.
01:25 These guys have played a lot.
01:26 So when you see someone that, it's hard to think that they've been here for
01:30 three years when they're just very mature in their approach.
01:34 They prepare at a high level.
01:35 They've already had a huge impact on the team.
01:39 So that combined with the fourth and
01:43 fifth year guys just makes for a team that has had experiences.
01:48 They come to work every day and they push each other.
01:53 There's a lot of consistency there and they're determined to reach our goals.
01:58 >> Coach Hartman at the middle 20, Spencer Holbrook, Letterman Road.
02:03 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:22 >> Yeah, I think that the whole group is gonna get challenged.
02:24 But I think we have some guys who have stepped up.
02:28 I think we see certainly Ty and Ty both play well.
02:31 Heroes got a bunch of reps.
02:34 Kay McDonald really has flashed a bunch in practice.
02:37 Taiwan now is just dedicated just to football.
02:41 So he's growing.
02:42 But I mean, it's a good group of guys.
02:46 It's a group of, Jim McKenzie has played a lot of football for us as well.
02:50 So we'll have to step up and help out in that area.
02:55 But I feel like some of those guys have done that and
02:58 now they get in November, they gotta get on the field and play.
03:01 They gotta get on the field.
03:05 The practice looks good and those guys, I think they're ready to go.
03:08 And I think Larry has a lot of confidence putting them in the game.
03:10 >> Rob Aller, Columbus Dispatch.
03:13 [BLANK_AUDIO]
03:23 >> It's like I said, I appreciate it.
03:28 I know there's a lot out there.
03:30 I'm focused on my team.
03:32 We gotta play Minnesota.
03:34 We gotta beat these guys and then we'll move on to what comes next after that.
03:37 But we got things here we gotta keep getting better at.
03:42 And that's what I'm gonna focus on.
03:43 Get on this film after practice and go from there and
03:45 worry about the things that I can control.
