00:04with uh with the mixture of injuries and the portal stuff that was going around on like
00:09around the peach bowl what was that week like for you just trying to get your room
00:13ready for that yeah that was that was a week like no other man I we had uh we had
00:23two guys that
00:23didn't play running back the week before uh come over and we were teaching the offense and
00:28I was it was it was a crazy week man but it's exciting it's part of the job man it's
00:33what
00:33makes it's what it's why they call us coach how how fast can you move guys along how fast can
00:37you
00:37get guys up to speed but you talk about a hectic week with a bunch of early mornings and a
00:41late
00:42bunch of late nights I don't think uh I slept that week I think that was the that's probably
00:47been one of my most challenging weeks as a coach for sure
00:53it's kind of going back to Jordan and Dierre uh online a lot of duck fans have come up with
01:00a lot
01:00of different nicknames for the combination of those two I'm wondering do they call themselves
01:05any nicknames or what do you call them together uh no I don't think they've earned nicknames I know a
01:14lot of duck fans call them nicknames sonic and knuckles like thunder and lightning and you know
01:20I think it's I think it's good when you like hold things like that a little higher than everybody else
01:24does so I don't call them any nicknames I call them Jordan and Dierre sometimes I call them
01:29goofy uh so I got a bunch of nicknames that I probably shouldn't say but they're they're not good
01:35so I challenge them to earn nicknames like that when you got to dominate competition consistently and
01:40those guys haven't arrived yet but they're they're working towards it they understand that and
01:44you know they they take the challenge every single day they don't act like guys that think they
01:49arrive they're they're working every single day they're attacking the grind
