Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Of this game where the defense did all that they could,
- 0:03Speaker 1: but Mac just you know, had some chances but just
- 0:05Speaker 1: wasn't able to get this offense going after the first
- 0:07Speaker 1: touchdown drive.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's you know, I thought defense obviously
- 0:14Speaker 2: did an outstanding job, you know, with.
- 0:17Speaker 3: The type of firepower they have on offense.
- 0:21Speaker 2: You know, just I know there was you know, yards
- 0:25Speaker 2: and time of position all that, I got it. But
- 0:27Speaker 2: you know, to hold that team to four field goals,
- 0:30Speaker 2: it gives you, gives you a chance. Obviously we had
- 0:33Speaker 2: to drive in the first you know, in the first
- 0:34Speaker 2: quarter there touchdown drive, and then after that it just.
- 0:39Speaker 3: We couldn't stay on the field.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I mean it, you know, credit uh Minnesota, you know,
- 0:46Speaker 2: and what they did defensively, coach Flooryes, I mean, you know,
- 0:48Speaker 2: they they did their stuff and and you know, we
- 0:54Speaker 2: just we didn't over overcome a few things, had a
- 0:56Speaker 2: couple of setbacks on first down, hadn't too many second longs.
- 1:02Speaker 2: But you know, this game is not about one person
- 1:04Speaker 2: or one man. It's a team sport, and we just
- 1:09Speaker 2: didn't do enough today.
- 1:10Speaker 1: What what kind of feedback, if any did not give
- 1:13Speaker 1: you about the two interceptions, it looked like he stared
- 1:15Speaker 1: down Gabe on one and then on the long pass
- 1:18Speaker 1: it looked like he also got hit on the release,
- 1:20Speaker 1: So I don't know what that did to change the
- 1:22Speaker 1: trajectory at the ball.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I you know, I got to honestly, just we
- 1:26Speaker 2: gotta watch the tape tomorrow, watch it with them, the
- 1:28Speaker 2: players get feedback. And cause I didn't, I didn't necessarily
- 1:31Speaker 2: speak to him after, you know, we there's you know,
- 1:35Speaker 2: the two change of possessions like that, we were right
- 1:37Speaker 2: back on defense, so I didn't get a chance to
- 1:39Speaker 2: talk to him at that time. From it, I mean,
- 1:43Speaker 2: he's hurting, he's he's taken it hard. I just told
- 1:48Speaker 2: him it's it's you know again, it's it's not it's
- 1:52Speaker 2: not about one guy. You know, this is a this
- 1:56Speaker 2: is a team deal. And and offensively, you know, we
- 1:58Speaker 2: didn't do enough around Mac and I'm not listen, it's
- 2:04Speaker 2: it's it takes eleven guys, And.
- 2:09Speaker 4: Yeah, coach, why don't you have such a difficult time
- 2:12Speaker 4: today getting the body of wide receivers.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I think there were only three targets to them in
- 2:16Speaker 3: the first three quarters. Minnesota did a nice job.
- 2:21Speaker 2: They showed, you know, if you watch the game, they
- 2:25Speaker 2: showed a lot of six up, seven up, which which
- 2:27Speaker 2: they do play a lot of you know, cover two,
- 2:31Speaker 2: spin out to cover two, a lot of cloud stuff
- 2:35Speaker 2: and and then of course the pass rush. So it
- 2:38Speaker 2: it it.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Puts it's it's a challenge. I mean, it's it's a challenge.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And and you know, we obviously have to do a
- 2:48Speaker 2: better job when we see that kind of stuff and
- 2:50Speaker 2: and you know, execute coaches, we can we can.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Prepare a little better there and help our guys out.
- 2:57Speaker 3: But uh, you know, I credit what they did, Doug,
- 3:00Speaker 3: just from a big picture standpoint.
- 3:03Speaker 5: What's your level of disappointment and maybe even shocked just
- 3:05Speaker 5: being two and eight through ten games.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Yeah, we never you know, never expected to be here
- 3:13Speaker 2: obviously where we had five or six games, now there
- 3:18Speaker 2: are you know, one score games.
- 3:19Speaker 3: This is uh, it's just it's hard. It's it's hard.
- 3:23Speaker 2: You know, we're as a team as coaches as we're
- 3:26Speaker 2: making it hard, making it too hard, and and the
- 3:30Speaker 2: guys are the guys are frustrated, and they should be,
- 3:33Speaker 2: and they're angry, and they should be because we all are.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And but we have to channel it in a positive
- 3:39Speaker 2: way and get ready for another one.
- 3:43Speaker 5: Doug I know you mentioned that last week they were
- 3:46Speaker 5: clouding Brian Thomas a little bit, taking them away. You
- 3:49Speaker 5: see more of that kind of stuff today, or is
- 3:51Speaker 5: it just Minnesota's defense And is there anything you can
- 3:53Speaker 5: do to get it to him and get him into
- 3:56Speaker 5: the game because he just it's been so minimal touching
- 3:58Speaker 5: the ball last couple of weeks.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they they played more.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is a cover two defense,
- 4:06Speaker 2: and they did a lot of that today. And then
- 4:08Speaker 2: and then again it's you know, their pass rush did
- 4:14Speaker 2: a nice job, got some pressure on on Mac, made
- 4:16Speaker 2: him you know, made him scramble early. And then so
- 4:20Speaker 2: it's it's a it's a combination of both, right, it's
- 4:23Speaker 2: uh what they did schematically to us and then and
- 4:27Speaker 2: then just our you know, execution offensively.
- 4:32Speaker 5: What was the play? What was supposed to happen on
- 4:34Speaker 5: the final Mac interception if he didn't get hit and
- 4:38Speaker 5: throw the pick.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to go through the details of
- 4:41Speaker 2: the play because you guys wouldn't figure it out. But
- 4:43Speaker 2: we're gonna look at the tape tomorrow and and we'll
- 4:46Speaker 2: make those corrections.
- 4:48Speaker 4: Doug, you guys have worked so hard on trying to
- 4:51Speaker 4: get things going early. Second drive nine plays, seventy yards,
- 4:56Speaker 4: four passes, five runs. They ended up being half your offense.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Are you shocked that you got it done the way
- 5:03Speaker 4: you did but then you couldn't continue it throughout the
- 5:06Speaker 4: remaining three quarters?
- 5:08Speaker 3: Shocked that we were able to score.
- 5:11Speaker 4: Just move the ball with the type of success.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Was not shocked early in the game. I mean that
- 5:16Speaker 2: that's what we expected to do. You know, I think
- 5:20Speaker 2: as the game progressed, it just got seemingly worse. Right
- 5:23Speaker 2: first down, run the ball, we got behind the chains,
- 5:27Speaker 2: second long, it just got it got harder offensively.
- 5:30Speaker 3: And.
- 5:33Speaker 2: You know that was the That was the frustrating part.
- 5:35Speaker 2: I think, just not staying positive on first down, because
- 5:39Speaker 2: you go back to that drive, that's what we did.
- 5:42Speaker 2: We were able to stay on the field and stay
- 5:44Speaker 2: positive on first down.
- 5:48Speaker 3: All right, Thanks coach
