  Speaker 1: You gotta play snapped whistle and and he does. He does.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: He's probably one of the best in football at its
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: performance today. Obviously you'd like to have more points. But
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: what did you make of it overall? Yeah, I mean,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: obviously we'll look at the film, you know, on the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: way back. But I thought, I mean, I thought he
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: played well, had great poise, you know. Um, I know
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: there's some some pressure in the first half that we
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: eliminated in the second half, and he played, he played tough,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: played I had some big moments out there and made
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: some big, big throws, you know. And he just just
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: keeps showing improvement each week. And and that's what we
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: can ad all we can ask for, and um, you know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: just his growth and development, and it's just it's just, uh,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I think as a as a team today
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it was just a game of missed opportunity, struggle for
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: running the football, drummer, and most of the game was
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that something the Chiefs did, or you know, was it
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: just a matter of you guys are able to execute
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: certain plays or mean, you know, it's a little bit
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of them and obviously a little bit of us, And
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you know, we gotta pride ourselves a little bit more
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: on you know, running the ball and kind of controlling
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it a little bit. But you know, they did a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: nice job of of of just kind of controlling the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage at times. And um, you know, but
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: it's something we're gonna We're gotta we gotta, we gotta do,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you know, we gotta clean it up. Obviously. We get
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: time now this week to look at some stuff and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, get ready for the back half
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of this year. Yeah, there was no injury. We just
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: need to get chat in the game playing always to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: do an on time to keep the start if you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you had that opportunity to right away. I wasn't telling
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you on Wednesday that I was gonna do it. Um, yeah,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean it. It's it's just you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: there's there's there's things that you look at and and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Heath and Luke do a great job of you know, um,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: studying the opponents, right and anytime you can take an
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: advance antage of an opportunity, We're going to try to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: do that. And especially against a really good football team,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you know, you hope that by stealing that possession right there,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you go down and get get three or seven, right,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and and um, you know take take a little sting
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: out of the out of the game, a little bit
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: maybe out of the crowd, but it's unfortunate. We we
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: got stopped in that first possession, and you know we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: had opportunities. They were there, we just didn't didn't capitalize.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: But you know, as the week went on, Uh yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I just got more comfortable. And it's uh taking you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: onside if it was there yea three I mean plus
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: three in turnover on signe caper cover. I mean you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: kind of did some of those intangible things that generally
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: happened to teams that win games. And I think it
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: was only seven points maybe off all that I think,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and that's that's that's the game. You know, that's the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: game for me. You know, it comes down to missed
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: opportunities and its sense of learning. It's a learning opportunity,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you know for our football team that you know you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: can you create the takeaways, you get a great play
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: on special teams and really special teams kind of kept
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: us in. I mean, the return game was was outstanding
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: today and I think we even had a turnover on
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: special teams and um, you know, we just we've got
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to score more. You know, we gotta score more points
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: off of those, uh, off of those takeaways, a hard
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: hitting and those a couple of plays that if they
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: even threw a penalty flag on one when they're opting
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the passer didn't pull it backwards. Because that's the type
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of the defense that you're wanting to coach. Hit him
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: hard and take a live right on the edge. I mean,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you want to you want your guys to play aggressive
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and play physical and play within the rules. I mean,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that's that's what we gotta do. But you don't ever
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: want to take the physicality away from anybody, you know, offense, defense,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: special teams. And you know we're gonna we're gonna play
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and and this is a game to where you know
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you have to play snap to whistle and and um.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You know, we'll take a look at everything you know
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: this week and and uh, um you know, just uh
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and see see where we're at on some of those plays.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But you know, you ever want to obviously hurt anybody,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you know, put anybody in harm's way. Um. But again,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: at the same time, you want to keep you want
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to keep the aggressiveness in the physicality of the game
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: wrong with the the field goals that Roling met. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: don't think so. Um, I'll take a look at it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But just just missed to two kicks, um, you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and obviously can't can't do it, not, I can't give
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: up points, right. These are the missed opportunities that we're
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: talking about, miscommunication issues on defense, and I think all
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: four touchdowns wide open um, just guys not getting the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: right spots, not communicating or or what what what do
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you make about? Again? I think it has to come
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: down to just watching the film and and really making
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a um, you know, a better it give you a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: better answer, quite honestly, Um, until until I look at
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that and look at it and and uh and see
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: exactly what happened? What What do your message to these
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: guys after a game like this going into a buy
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: when they have them, they the over more time to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: study over it? Um, the biggest thing you look at it?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You know, just like what I'm saying here, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the missed opportunities, right, and when you get when you
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: play great football teams and and the Chiefs are one
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of those great football teams, well coached, you you've got
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to capitalize, you know, Um, I know they pride themselves
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: on taking care of the football, you know. Um, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: when you can create those opportunities as a team, we
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: have got to take advantage of that. And we didn't
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: do it as a football team today. And so that's
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: really the message, you know. And and it's about missed opportunities.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: But I will say this, I mean, it's it's not
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: for lack of effort or you know, anything like that
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: at all. Um. And you know, we've played ten straight
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: weeks now and and so um, you know, the team,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the team needs a break at this time. It's a
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: good time for it, uh to to kind of step away.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And and I told him to to to kind of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: read group and and really think about the first ten
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But more importantly, I want to think about the next
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: back half of this you know, or third of this season,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and and really focus on that. And and and I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: still think and I believe that our goals are still
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in front of us, you know. Um. Yeah, we made
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it a little bit harder today, but I think if
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we continue to improve, um, you know, anything is possible
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: moving forward. Okay, Thanks, Thanks guys,
