  Speaker 1: So do you know, what what do you make of
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: what you guys were able to accomplish? Shot that's earlier night.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I thought we got into a rhythm early
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: and then I thought we uh, you know, came out
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: in the second half and you know, kind of started
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: out you know, strong in the second half. But uh,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you know, I wish we would have finished the game
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: a lot better. You know, in those situations when we
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: have the ball, you know, at the end of the game,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: chance to win it. You know, we usually thrive in
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: those situations, and uh, you know, we just fell short,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Of the goal today. What was working well with DK?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And let's work. You know.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I thought DK was just you know, playing the way
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: that he always is capable of, you know, I mean
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: he was running so fast out there.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I think he hit a twenty two.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Mile an hour, and uh, shoot, man, he made a
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: bunch of plays. Man, he's he's such a mismatch out there,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and I just you know, appreciate playing with him. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I thought he had a phenomenal game. I thought, you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: everything about what he did today was awesome.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Why were you aople that happened? Since since second stallus? Uh,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you got to score just about as much as anybody
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: he has this year.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: You know, I think we just came out and we played,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: uh played game. You know, we played fast. Uh, no one,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: no one was hesitant. You know, everyone was out there
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: just playing hard. And uh you know, I felt like
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: everyone just you know, had had that uh you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: had that had that drive and then focus and wanted to.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Go out there and get it done.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: And uh, like I said, man, it's tough to come
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: up shorten a game like this, very fun game.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of back and forth.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But you know, we had the ball last and uh
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you know, had a opportunity to win it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And so I felt like we, you know, we let
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: ourselves down when we was working so well on third
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: down to that. Uh.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I just think getting the ball out I thought Shane
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: called a great game, uh really called an amazing game.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I thought the receivers, you know, ran great routes. The
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: protection was awesome. Uh you know, watching you know, JP
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: play right tackle, play right guard. You know, a b
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: in there stepping up a you know, having a bat
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: was a was a big uh plus for us on offense.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And then you know, just Evan the way he played.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: D Lou You know, Charles, I thought the whole old
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: line just played phenomenal. It gave us a real chance
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to make plays, and guys made their place.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So you know, last play, Mike, a person's on the block,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: k obvious was not the design. What happened then, you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: know it is design that was.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Uh have the squeeze right tack who had to squeeze
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: right there versus zero, So he did the right thing.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Mike could coming free. Uh we knew that would possibly happen. Uh,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: try to get the ball around him. Uh, just wasn't
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: able to.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You know, Blat obviously had a good year. Didn't get
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a pick, but you guys had some big plays against
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: him in the first half. Was is that just part
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of the plainyers like DK and your guys making plays?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Uh, you know, like I said, every week, man,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: we we face some of the best coiners in this league,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and uh we have some really great receivers and uh
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: we love our matchups obviously, you know you wanna keep
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the ball away from guys like that. Uh he made
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a great play uh there in the third quarter, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you know that's why he's having the year he's having.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, we don't shy away from any
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of those matchups. Uh, Like I said, we trust our
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: guys to make plays, and uh, you know, he got
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: one on me today and you know, heads off to him.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He made a great play the fourth down on the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: one before that. To to Jackson, was it just kind
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of matter of all lot of pressure there. Yeah, kind
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: of similar to the to the last one.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You know, just all out pressure and uh really just
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: got to get the ball up to someone you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: try and try and get it up to someone you know.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And that's something we gotta get better at. We gotta
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: learn from.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: We're gonna we can expect that to happen, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: at the end of those games, especially in critical situations,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and you.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Know, we gotta we gotta be better at that. You
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: were got to end up half seat clots like that where.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: You got of and so no, uh, you know, obviously
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it was great to you know, get the touchdowns, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: get the one touchdown in that situation.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that was a little bit of a funky situation.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But uh, you know, to be able to finish the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: half like that and then to come out in the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: second half and and get another touchdown that's what that's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: what we talk about when we talk about playing our
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: style of football, you know, getting the ball and making
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the most of our chances.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I know, there's no such thing as a good and loss,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: but it's this type of performance that you guys, after
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: what happened the last few weeks, that you truly can
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: build on with the rest of the season. Front.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think each week we have to continue to build.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: That's just the reality of this game. And uh, it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough, you know, week to week, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we can count on that. But you know, we got
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the right guys. We got tough guys on our side.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: You know, we got the right coaches. You know, it's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: not about the play calls or what what uh what
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Shane calls. It's about us going out and executing it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And so you know we can build on it. Yeah,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: but uh, you know, it's about winning most importantly. So
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: today we get didn't get that done. To clarify the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: line play with sixty seven, basically the one is supposed
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to block for inside Oh yes, sir, okay, So the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: if Parsons is coming to block, what's.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: How is that place supposed to work? Then? Uh, We
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: were expecting, you know, DJ to be able to slip
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: out of there. You know, usually.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Sometimes teams have a what they call a pill with
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the with the end, where you know, if the back releases,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: then the end will pill, Parsons will pill. On that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: play was all out, so he continued to rush. Uh
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: we thought DJ could slip through there and get him.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The ball in the flat wasn't able to get through there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Uh kind of got held up, and that's kind of
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: how the play
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Went, and thinking out, thanks you for your house, thank
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you of you're so will
