as the team enters the by week players coaches i mean everybody needs a reset right you need a reset probably

so how do you take these next couple days how do you approach this what do you need to do for yourself

to kind of re-energize for this second half yeah first thing i got to look at the big picture and

make sure the messaging of how we you know set the tone for what the next half will bring. That's really important, Scott. What do we want to emphasize? What things need to be changed from? What can we emphasize more at practice? Okay, we want more of the red zone or more a third down. And navigating that is important. The second half of the season, you've got a chance to get better get better man and so that's what i want to see

there's a lot of players here on this team that i want to see do this and we'll work really hard to

do that yeah to be fair to the coach scott abraham from channel seven you know put it in his

mind by saying for the next half of the season.

Yeah, the next half of the season started with the Seattle game, actually the second half of

the Seattle game, which was better than the first half of the Seattle game when they were

down 31 to 7 at halftime.

But yeah, no, the second half is well underway,

and when they come back on Thanksgiving weekends Sunday night football,

which did not get flexed by the NFL,

they will be into their final six games of a 17-game schedule, having played 11 already.

So it's really closer to the final third of the season, although it's not exactly the final third.

They played 18 games, it would be the final third, but it isn't.

All right, 301-2-0-980.

By the way, on the decision the NFL made not to

flex, they considered it, but the issues were kind of what we talked about yesterday, and that is

that the games that they could have moved were protected. The Houston at Indianapolis game was an auto-protected game for CBS

so that they couldn't move that one.

And then the other game, Buffalo and Pittsburgh, was also a CBS double-header
