  Speaker 2: You know.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I felt like, uh it just kind of a mental swing.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Whenever I uh in the red zone, I just gotta
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: have t hands on the ball. And I feel like
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the kind of like a turning point of the game.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And now I just gotta be better for my team.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: What was the conversation after you got to the sideline
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: after the fumble?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: All right, some of them just making just j just
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you get ready to make enough to play. They believe
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in me closely. We're gonna give you the ball right back,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and uh just go out there and just beat you, uh,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: beat yourself and be special.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Overall thoughts so on just today's game. Can you take
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: anything away positive twice?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Uh? Most definitely. I feel like, uh it was a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: great game. I feel like it was a great game.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like just a turnover on March and I
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: feel like in the NFL, you have to understand that, uh,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you lose a turnover on Mutch and you lose a game,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and uh, I just gotta be better in that situation
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: for my team, majoring for myself, just understanding the balls
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the most important thing and just h hold on with
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: hold on to it with two hands, you know, and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: now we won't even sit here we even be talking about, uh,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: you know, what.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Went wrong the run game in particular in the first half.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: It's awesome.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: How do you build upon that in the second half
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and also in games to come.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I just keep doing what we're doing. I feel like
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Tank made some hell of a runs for us, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like he just provides us with a different
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: one too, you know. And I feel like, uh, he
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: just keeps me a chance to be fresh, and I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: can't give him a chance to be fresh. And we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: just gotta keep hitting the holes, you know, and just
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: keep believing in the scheme and stay within uh the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: game plan.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I know this was a lot of last year was
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you know, not letting one loss turn into another loss.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: What's the message kind of going forward?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: What have you hurt? I just just flush this one,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, what do you want to lose?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: You wanna go look at the film? You want to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: be pissed off? And I feel like each and every
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: week we got to have a mindset that get want
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to know and I feel like we just have to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: just flush it, you know, be critical of what happened
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: on film, and next week attacking with different mindset. You know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it's a whole new week, NFL is it's one week
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: at a time. You know, we can't let that, let
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: this carry on the next week because it's not gonna
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: let us be our best self. And now we have
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to flush this and have to get better and be
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: better for our teammates.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Had you said something different in the locker room after
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: this loss comparatively to losses in the two previous years, Uh.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like just this team, we were pissed
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: off with greatness, you know, and I feel like I
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: just we can't have those things come in critical situations,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and uh, it's just it's just hard when you're a competitor,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you know, and the uh, I just kind of just
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, just I just hate that for myself and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: for my teammates because you know, they believe in me
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and not believe in me, and I just have to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: be better for them in that situation. And know I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: want to be the best player I can be for them,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So I have to flush it and uh, just find
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a way to get better and just be better for them.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Does it feel like guys like that, like you said,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the pistol off, the angry. Is it different than last year?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Most definitely. I mean, no one likes to lose, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we tasted greatness. We tasted we we know we destined
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: for greatness, and that's when we went each and every week. So, uh,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it's definitely a different mentality on this team.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: You know, I think it came down to just execution
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: and just making the plays when they're supposed to be made.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I think that was the glaring point from my standpoint.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: And you know, we unfortunately had to turnover and you
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: know they were able to to to not do that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: So anytime you lose a turnover battle, you know, it's
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: tough to win. But also not averting on third downs
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: and that just goes back to making the play. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I think that was a difference.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Does just feel like a bit of a wasted opportunity
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: with what the defense did for sure, just wasn't good enough,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: especially individually, just did not do anything to help you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: the team win today.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: So but we'll take it on the chin and come
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: back Monday, learn from it. Be tough critics, and you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I have all the confidence in the world that will
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: be better next week.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Obviously, had a couple of plays there. Yeah, just miss
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: just bad.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: It's just bad.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: I gotta make them while I'm here, and you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: it's just not good enough. I'm obviously a better player
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: than that, and I take full responsibility for that, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: we'll take all the criticism for it. But you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I play in this league a long time and have
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: been through stuff like this, and uh, true telling of
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: a manager, just how he counts back and and come
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: back better, you know, the following game. So we have
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: what sixty more opportunities, so all the confidence in the
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: world that will be better.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Trying to describe a locker room as pissed off, I asked,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and you can answer this too. Is the pissed off
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: disappointment after this loss different than what you saw a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: year ago?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I mean, obviously we were in a
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: position there to be able to win the game. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: thought the first half we handled really well, and you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: we kind of let them hang around. Offensively, we weren't
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: good enough, and defense was you know, playing lights out,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: and they did everything they can. And with an offense
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: like that, you know, it's it's hard when you could
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: giving them so many opportunities. So, you know, I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: it's just yeah, that's a good football team. But at
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, we felt like there was
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of things that we just didn't didn't do
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: good enough to be able to give ourselves a chance
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: to win.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Me came out there, I gave it a practice. I
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: went out there and played our I mean, we just
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: gotta go come back Monday tomorrow, just correct the things
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: that we that we did wrong, and just come back
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: the next week can be better.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: How did you first half? Like you were getting open,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: they were getting it to you. What happened the first half?
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Still allow that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Uh just went out there playing our Uh were they
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: able to make some plays? And that was all that
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: was always to do it. It wasn't nothing special, however,
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: just went out there and play are. Uh was able
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: to get open and make a couple plays.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: How about the touchdown? Was that designed to do that? Yeah?
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: That was that was that was a design play for
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: uh me to get over there. Uh, Trevor just trusting
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: me throwing up uh giving me enough are to run
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: up under it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Something that earlier in the gave me had to play
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: against Ramsey with the cameras caught you. Yeah, uh having
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: some words with them too. And how fun does that
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: battle and and what was that battle like?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: It was fun.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Just grab a bo up against the top corner. Uh,
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: the sailing Ramsey. So I mean, I mean with the
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: talking and football, it's just I feel like that's gonna happen.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: It was just was Uh. I was able to go
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: out there and make a play, get a penalty. Uh,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: and of that stuff that was happening here.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Could they change something in the second half?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Nah?
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: No, do you think that something you did you think
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: that something wasn't clicking? Maybe you guys in the second
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: half that was working in the first.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Uh.

  Speaker 6: Just when the play was called. Just come out and
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: getting to play and getting into the line of scrimmage

• 6:18
  Speaker 6: and execute the play that's called. Uh, just come out
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: there and give a jab. Just execute.
• 6:23

• 6:24
  Speaker 3: week two?
