• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Went into that and just kind of you described how
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the game went as.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: All, Yeah, I thought we uh, we did some some
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: good things. We had a lot of opportunities. You know,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I think overall we we got what we wanted. We
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: had a good plan. Uh, we were prepared for a
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff. And give you some credit, they had
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: some stuff too that they did defensively that was really
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: good today. And but overall, I thought our plan was good.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I thought we had a lot of opportunities run game
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: and throwing the ball down the field. Didn't capitalize on
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: all of them, unfortunately, and that's kind of why we're
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: we're here now and and didn't win the game, in
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: my opinion, is because you know, we didn't take advantage
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: of some of those opportunities. But I thought as far
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: as scheme and stuff that we did, it was really good.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Up seeing how do you value you play that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty frustrated. Like I said, a lot of missed opportunities.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: So it's just like I said, it's kind of what's
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: been happening in the past few weeks, and we weren't
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: able to overcome it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Today.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: We the guys fought hard, and you know, obviously we
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: gave everything we had and had a chance at the end,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and just offensively the last few possessions we didn't do enough,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: kept putting our defense back on the field, and you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: credit to our defense second half that came out and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: played really well and gave us the ball back a lot.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: So you know, we got we have to capitalize and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: when we have the game in our hands, we.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Have to go win it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And it felt like we obviously didn't do that tonight today,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: So you know, a lot of that's on me. There
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: were some plays early in the game that you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I was just a little off and I got to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: hit those plays. We had some one to BT one
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to Christian, which obviously I want back those plays, So
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I just got to hit those.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: In those plays and even dis much air on it is.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It, I have to watch it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: You know, both both felt good coming out and obviously
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: just missed it. You know, guys did a good job
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: today of getting opened. You know, they played a lot
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of man coverage, which is something you know as an
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: offense that you'd like to see, you know, get your
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: players get a chance to go win one on ones
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and as a quarterback you get to go you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: push the ball down field at times. So uh yeah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: it was just just missed a few. You have to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: watch it and see what what the reasons were. You
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: know that both of those when it came out, I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: thought we had a chance and ended up being a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: little too much.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: So you know, I have to watch them.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I love the one. Uh just a sequence. Did you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: get what you thought you were gonna get on most
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of those players?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: You just yeah, you know, we had the hit, the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: big play went down there, and we tried to stay
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: with some tempo and and catch them on their heels
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and score, and you know, that's that's something that we've
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: done a lot in the past and we've been successful
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: at so.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Just didn't work that time. And then obviously they they
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: stuffed us on.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: What was it, second or third down after that, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: we had the fourth and one or were second down
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: then third down, we threw it and had the fourth
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and one, and you know, just one of those plays
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: fourth and one. Looking back on it, I see the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: way the game goes. You gotta you gotta convert there,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you get on the one yard line, gotta score a touchdown.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Coach puts it in our hands, so we gotta we
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: gotta figure it out and make the play.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: We had the opportunity.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I felt like we had some some good looks down
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: there to do more with it, and we weren't able
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to capitalize.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Trevor looked like the communication and operation of everything it
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: was a lot so this week, and it maybe had
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: been last several weeks.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: He was a, Yeah, I thought I thought it was
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: all good. I thought we played, uh played fast. I mean, golly,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: we I don't know what our what our stats were offensively,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: but we left so much out there too, and still
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: felt like we moved the ball well and just weren't
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: able to convert enough third downs. Still don't think we
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: were great today. Not sure what the numbers were, but
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: didn't stay on the field enough. And it's a team game,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: but like at the end of the day, I I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: feel like I'd left a lot out there tonight and
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: pretty frustrated with that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: How much, uh do you have to lean on some
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of the things that are a little about whether its
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: well today, ye, running effective. I can take that up
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: right now and just small.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Bigferus and just have to keep playing. We gotta we
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: gotta stay together. I just gotta keep playing. And this
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: is some adversity. It's been tough, you know, obviously not
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: having the success.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: That we want.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of guys in there that put
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of time in you know, coaches and players
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and really everyone, I mean everyone that works with the team.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So it's frustrating.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It's hard, but you know, you have some adversity, you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: gotta get through it, get to the other side of it,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and it'll help you in the long run. And that's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: what we're preaching as a team. Is just it's frustrating.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: It's not going our way, and we weren't able to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: find a way to win this game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: We had some mistakes out there. Yeah, but we just
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: have to stay together.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It's gonna teach us something, it's gonna prepare us for
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the future, and and stay positive. I mean, there were
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: things that we did well today, and we just have
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to do more of it, you know. And I don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: think we need to. We don't need to blow everything
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: up and start over like we you know, we got
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: good players, we had, we have a good scheme. Offensively,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: we had great things today and we just gotta consistently
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: make those plays. You know, I thought we had a
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: lot of opportunities. So just keep keep working. That's the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that's the message. Just keep working this week.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like you well whatever do you want
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to call it?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Uh No, I don't. I don't feel that way.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You know, I felt great coming into today's game, Like
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I said, I felt like our plan was really good,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: felt prepared, had a lot of opportunities. And it's it's football,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you know, Sometimes you don't. You don't hit all those shots.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And I expect to though, cause I know I need to.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I need to do that, and you're not gonna hit
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: them all, but you gotta hit more than I did today.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So you know, I gotta be better for for my
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: teammates and and I understand that, and and I put
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a put a lot on myself to do that. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I got I got faith that it'll happen.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna start start playing like I know I can.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: But I just gotta keep working. You know, I put
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the time in, put the work in. I don't think
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: anybody can question that. So as far as the execution goes,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I know that's gonna come. And I just gotta keep
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: trusting it and not get frustrated, not try to do
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: too much keep trusting it, which, like I said today,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: we had the opportunities and hit some and missed miss
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: too many. So yeah, it's started would have been first.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It's like four three points there. Yall are so close
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to some of.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: These games where it's a drive here or how do
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you analyze and just know that.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You' all were not close?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just you know, situationally, we have to be better
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: getting the red zone, got to score, you know, like
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I said, we had the fourth down stop on the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: one yard line, something that's an easy one to take
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: away and just say that changes the game if you're able.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And obviously in that moment once you don't get it,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: there's still a lot of game left and you can
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: still go win it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: But now looking back, that's something where.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You just have to capitalize on that, and you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you'd love to have those seven points on the board
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: so it doesn't come down to the very end and having.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: You know, you'd love to control the game more if
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you can when you have the opportunity, So you know that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You know there's some red zone stuff in Miami, some
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: red zone stuff in Cleveland. So it seems like the
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: close games we've had has been some red zone issues,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: you know, and whether it's some of them just some
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: operations stuff, and some of them just not executing, like
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the one today on fourth and one, and we got
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to make a play, you know.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: So, like I said, coach puts in our hands. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I love staying aggressive. And there's a chance for us
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to get seven points instead of three, and.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I love it. And I like that he trusts us,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and we just have to we have to be better.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
