  Speaker 1: I thought Drew played great, man. I think, you know,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: he put us in some great chance to be able
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to win. First drive went down and scored real big
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: time for us.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I think he did everything that the coaches
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: wanted him to do and more and just super proud
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of him for being able to come through. I'm getting
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: this opportunity and still playing at a high level. You guys,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I just I'm not gonna say, like, you know, far behind.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I just think that we just gotta you know, we
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: just gotta go back to Seattle and just like.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Continue to play football.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: You know. I think that there's a lot of glimpses
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of how great that we could be. And then I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: think there's a lot of times where as players we
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: can do better with not being stagnant. And I just
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: think that I think we did a great job moving
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the ball, but we gotta be able to continue to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: move the ball, especially on a team like this, because
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: even if there are three nows, even if there are
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you get a first down and then you gotta punt.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Field position really matters.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, for us, there's a lot
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of things that we can always do better at. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I think that you know, we're seeing ourselves doing better
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: each and every time.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But when you're playing a great team, you know, like.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: We just played, you gotta be able to take advantage
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of the opportunities that are in front you, in front
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of you, you gotta take advantage of the ball control
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: stuff like that.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: So I think we did pretty good.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It was just sometimes I feel like we could have
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: took it up a notch or or allowed the game
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to get away, and then it was like we just
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: didn't capitalize.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Some of that is we just got to do better
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: on third downs.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: We got what exactly what we wanted, third and four,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: third and three, third and six, and so we just
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: got to be able to get those third downs because
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: then that extends the drive and extends the ball control,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and it allows us to be able to stay within
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: our offense.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I mean that's all you can do, man, Like all
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you all you have is four games left, and regardless
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of whatever happens, you gotta be able to finish strong.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: You gotta be able to just continue to play at
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a high level. Understand that there's gonna be a lot
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of ups and downs. But man, I've been here so long,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: not that I've been here long enough to understand that,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: like once things start rolling, it starts rolling, great.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Things start happening.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And sometimes in a football game, especially like this, there's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be some great times, there's gonna be not so
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: great times. But you gotta be able to keep on
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: playing because you never know what can happen. Yeah we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah we you know, weren't able to get
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the fourth down when we went for it, but you've
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: seen how fast our defense got us the ball back.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Then we get another chance.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I've been here long enough where miracles
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: can happen, and we just got to be able to believe.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And we just got to keep playing and just you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: allowing whatever happens to happen, but not let that dictate
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: where we're trying to go. As long as you've been here,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you guys haven't lost fourth straight game though, that that's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: happened under Pete Carroll.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: How different does it feel?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, everybody hates losing, you know, but
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: at the same time, you got to be able to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: figure it out.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: You got to learn from it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You gotta be able to not just move on, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: be able to learn how to move forward. And I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: think you know, for us, we're playing great teams. Like,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, we're playing great teams, but we're
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a great team ourselves, and so you got to be
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: able to just figure out what is it going to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: take to be able to win a game, because if
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you win a game, then you could be able to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: get the ball rolling. But sometimes you know, you need
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: things to happen in your favor. Sometimes you got to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: go out there and make it happen yourself. But I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: just think we got to stay in it. That's all
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: we gotta do right now is just stay together, stay
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in it, and just keep playing with our heads down.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Appreciate y'all.
