• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just I think overall, we showed we can, you know,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: make plays, and uh, just the consistency piece is still
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: lacking at times. I think just playing a full sixty
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: minutes with focus and attention to detail and not shooting
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: ourselves in the foot, that's still showing up. So that's
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: stuff that we have to correct and learn from. I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: think just continuing to make plays down the stretch. That's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: what you know, really good teams do. And I think
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: there was times we did that today and big moments
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and there's times we did it. So we'll watch it
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and learn from it and and get better from it.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Why are you stuff like that lingers longer and longer?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You mean the penalty stuff for It's just yeah, it's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I mean concerned. No, it's just but we have to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: correct it. It's just being smart and be on the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: same page. And yeah, stuff that we can control, which
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: is you know, frustrating, but also things that we can
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: fix because we can control it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: How would you evaluate your connection with Brian in.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Particular with the guy.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I thought we made some plays on the field where
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you know, we had some big chunks. I think there's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: definitely stuff that we left out there. Again, this week.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So it's a long season and that's obviously important to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: our success as an offense is me and him being
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: dialed in and being on the same page. And we're
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: getting there, and we just got to keep working. It's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's it's not all said and done
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: after one game. So we got to continue to build
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and I thought there were some improvements we made this
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: week and got to continue to get better.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I felt like early on concerted effort to get him
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: in the ball. I don't think he had to catch
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: that again until the fourth quarter. Maybe that was more
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: of a concerted effort to to like get him downfield.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: How would you describe just what you set out to
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: do in terms of getting him involved versus what actually happened.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great player, so it's always going
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to be part of our plan to get him the ball.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: So I think you saw that early. And then as
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: the game goes.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of guys that are dynamic that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: can do things with the ball, so we feel like
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we can move people around, and the way games goes,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the ball just kind of finds who's who's open and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on third downs and we have a lot of moving
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: parts and guys moving around the field, and I thought
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we had a good plan to get guys open, and yeah,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just you know, for whatever reason, I don't really I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: guess I didn't notice that as that that kind of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: low in the middle of the game for him getting
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the ball. But I got to my job is to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: find the guy that's open and try to get him
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the ball and and and move on. And obviously there's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a big plan for us for that to be bt
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: because he can he's a great player and can win
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: as one on ones.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Stopping to make the mistakes that hurt you guys and
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: beat you and all that stuff. Is that the culture
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: that he or Liam's trying to figure out and get
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: established here.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: That's a good question. Yeah, I don't.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's part of it. I mean, but
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I also think the guys played hard. We got each
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: other's back, Like that's a big piece to this is
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to not point fingers when you get some adversity, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: we had some today, had some some turnovers. You know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: they went down and scored a couple of times and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: back and forth. And I thought we did some good
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: things as far as complimentary defense, bailing us out a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: few times, and then also us taking advantage of a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: turnover going and scoring off of it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: But just need more of that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So I think for us it's just learning how to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: close out these games and to make the plays down
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the stretch. I think guys played hard and believed and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: we just didn't get it done today. So you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we got to learn from it and watch the tape
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and get better.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: He's a good player, but it looks like maybe a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: little confidence right now with things not going his way.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: That's just my dup. But do you if you had
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to bring guys along or do extra things in practice
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: over the years.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Anyway when you feel like some of that isn't clicking where.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: You want it to be.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I never want to first of all,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I never want to speak for a guy in his
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: confidence on where he's at. You know, I think me
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and BT have a good relationship and we do communicate,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and you know that's just something where you know, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: gotta be better for him and vice versa, like we
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: got to help each other out. You know, I got
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a there's a couple of plays a day where I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: can give him a chance down the field where I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: did it. I know there's obviously a couple of players
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that he can make too, and he tell you the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: same thing. So we got to we're both We're all
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in it together. It's a team sport. That's a beautiful
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: thing about it is. No one's out there by themselves.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So if that is something, and he is putting pressure
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: on himself, so I'm not saying he is. He's not
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: out there alone. He's got ten other guys that got
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: his back, and you know, we're all in that together.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So it's just that's football. You know, it's not all
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's not always gonna go your way.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: He's quarterly disappointed on the fourth down draw. Do you
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: say anything to him in a situation.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Like them, Yeah, obviously.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I mean we're all frustrated in different times when we
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: want to make that play.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: But just not much to say there.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he understands the situation and it
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: is what it is. I went up to him and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: just said, hey, we got a next time, so finish
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the game. Go close it out, you know, at that point,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: hoping to get another opportunity to go finish the game.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it is what it is. There's not much
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: to say.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Guys, know, it's the same thing like if I have
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a bad, bad throw, like I know, I gotta make
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the throw, same thing on the on the catch.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: So you know, we all got to just own our
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: part and move on and improve.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: The microsoft's going to be on the play. You guys
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: didn't make ring down the field. How much did you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: do well? Maybe week two and where this is heading.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we did a lot well.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought we had a good plan for
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the most part of the stuff that we tried to accomplish.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: We did it, like we said, just the self inflicted wounds, penalties,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you know, misthrows, drops, different things, getting off schedule. That
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: stuff kind of showed up again. So that's the thing.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Those are things we need to improve.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: But I thought our plan and you know, our big.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Plays down the field, you know, running back room, all
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: those guys made some big plays for us guys down
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the field, winning winning the matchups.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: And I thought we had a good, good plan.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Six targets for Travis. But how do you how do
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: you evaluate him today? How do you see his role
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: kind of developing as we go forward, as particularly as
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: a two way player.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's always a work in progress as
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: far as just our offense and figuring out, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: what clicks, what we're really good at. Each week is
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: going to be different our plan, and obviously today he
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: had to play more defense. You know, played a lot
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: there down at the end of the game. So it's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a good I mean, we got players that can play. Obviously,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Parker stepped into a nice job when his number was called.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So every week will be a little bit different. I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: thought he's done a nice job of doing what's asked
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of him, and I think there's there's more out there
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that we can find and he's a great player, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we got to continue to keep him involved just because
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: he's really good with the ball in his hands, gets.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: More action today.
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: Just what did you see from him? And how can
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: he improve this offense?
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Man, he played really well.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Obviously, did some stuff in the passing game, had that
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: big catch for a touchdown and then running running the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: ball just getting downhill he made He had some great
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: runs that were maybe didn't look great at first, but
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: he pushed an extra two three four yards and ended
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: up being seven yard games that looked like they should
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: be probably three yard games.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: So he did a really good job.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I think our guys up front, played really hard, Clear
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: cleared some lanes for him, and the guys ran hard.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: How would you.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Describe your relationship in game with Liam, maybe comparatively to
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: their coaching dynamics that we've had.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: It's it's really good. The communication is really high.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, coach is really passionate, which is
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: something that I've noticed ever since he's been here, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I love that about him. And we'll get fired up,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's been cool seeing our you know.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And there's times where I'm not always that way. I'm
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: kind of a little more like this, but he's honestly
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: brought a little bit of more more of that out
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of me, which I think has been good for our offense,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and I kind of feed off of him, and there's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: times we get excited and get fired up. And there's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: a sense of urgency though too when things aren't going great,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: where I feel like he does hold us accountable and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not afraid to rip into us a little bit.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: So I think that's good.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: There's a sense of urgency for us and we need
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to we need to get better and we can improve.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Interception. Did you think it might have been a free play?
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: There's a flag.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I think it end up being a legal ship.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But no, no, I didn't think that was a free play.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: We were, Yeah, we were just a little off there.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I mean BT as far as some of our timing stuff.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I got to clean that up. Wasn't wasn't the best
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: ball there, And seemed like every ball was getting up
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: in the air today. So got to find a way
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to you know, limit those.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: You put catch up mode and so much of your career,
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: what's it like now in consecutive weeks to be able
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: to come out and you know, get points in the
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: first quarter in quitting you first.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Got it's great.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I mean it's to be able to start the game
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that way, you know, for our defense, us offensively to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: settle in early, to feel like we get some you know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: some good plays, stay on track, go get points, give.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Us gives us some confidence as an offense.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And then for our defense too to be able to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to settle in with with a lead. I think that's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: also important. So it's been it's been awesome.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: We got to continue to build off that and like
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I said, learn from the stuff today where that's all great,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: but still got to go win the game. So but
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the way we've started the last two weeks has been
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: has been much better for sure?
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: What's up everybody?
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: Does it seems like you know, obviously on the serpference call,
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: you weren't you feel like it was necessarily.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Just what did you see on that play? How did
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: it break down to you?
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: I just can't make it. I can't leave it up
• 8:59
  Speaker 10: to the rough. I just got to do job, put
• 9:00
  Speaker 10: myself in a better position.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: How did you feel like you uh reacted?
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: You know, jardon goes down, you have to come in
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: right away.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: How did how did that process work for you?
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: I was good.
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: I was prepared for the moment, prepared to do my job,
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: but I just gotta make a couple more plays.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Did they give you an idea of going into the
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: game of kind of the snap count or kind of
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: what your work club would.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Be or uh?
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they told me i'm'a play a lot more defense,
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: you know, So I was just prepared and ready.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: What was it like match it up with Chase and
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: and Higgins?
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: I was great.
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: It was great for me early in my career to
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: you know, play go against those two guys. You know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: they they established theyself in this league. So it was
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: great for me.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I just I know you used to do this, But how
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: do you feel coming out of there with the extended
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: snap count today?
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: But I feel great. I feel like I could go
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: back out and then play some more. So, which, what
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: did you learn.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: From Chase and Higgins I in a game like this
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: or is that not something you really can digest? Now
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: you gotta wait for you know, see.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Feeling and stuff like.
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: Well, they just did they job. They did what they
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: they team want needed them to do. So that's what
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: I s from them. They did what they had to
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: do to come out with a dug.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Oh uh, how hard is this wanna take? Just team wise?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Where you had so many plays or returnovers, three touchdowns
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: on your offensive side and from Trevor and still can't grab.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: At w Uh.
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: We just gotta you know, like I said, we gotta
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: go and break down this game and make sure it
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: don't happen no more and just do our job, you know, individually,
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: I gotta do my job.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: Still, what's going on the the where.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: You guys have the five illegal shifts in like nine
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: plays and then how did you fix it?
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: We just you know it wasn't we wasn't lining up right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: We wasn't fully locked in, which I say I I
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: had a couple of mistakes too, so I gotta do
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: better with that. I think I had two of those
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: or three of those, one of the one of the two.
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: But I still gotta do my job, you know, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: the other guys just gotta do they job.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Brian Thomas had the the fourth down drop. Do you
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: say stuff anything to him after the game or after
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: the play, just to kind of pick him up or
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: anything like that, or you guys.
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: Ah, just tell 'em to keep his head up. That's it,
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: you know. I'm i'm'a.
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: I'm'a always have his no matter if he right wrong,
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: would do something that we we know it is not
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: in his character. So I'm just gonna, you know, stand
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: behind him and continue to push him to be great.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Did he seem really or was he really bothered by it?
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: Uh, I don't know.
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: I had to go on defense, you know. I helped
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: him up and then it was time for me to
• 11:14
  Speaker 10: get on defense.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Try you had to be they should curely what we
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: go in here and got sort of spreads the ball
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: over the place. Did help me your way all the time.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And then also obviously defense. I mean, is it is
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: that a balance for you to go make a play
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and make an impact, but also you gotta like come
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: your way.
• 11:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know that's this is I gotta do what
• 11:33
  Speaker 10: they g aks me to do. You know, I gotta
• 11:34
  Speaker 10: play with the within the system and just do my job.
• 11:37
  Speaker 10: Make sure I'm on F my p's and q's at
• 11:39
