Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Yeah, Uh, Gene, you you kind of summed it up. Uh,
- 0:07Speaker 1: you're right. It's not for the you know, for lack
- 0:10Speaker 1: of effort and physicality and all that.
- 0:12Speaker 2: The guys.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Guys do play hard, but the mistakes, penalties, you know,
- 0:20Speaker 1: the things that just kind of held us back all season.
- 0:22Speaker 1: It's just, uh, it's the it's the I think his coaches,
- 0:28Speaker 1: players er, it's the frustrating part. And uh, until we
- 0:36Speaker 1: get that corrected, obviously, you know, there's gonna be a
- 0:41Speaker 1: lot of a lot of long days we gotta get fixed.
- 0:44Speaker 2: U doubt.
- 0:47Speaker 3: It's been in the spots so many times and and
- 0:49Speaker 3: you don't come out on the top. You feel like
- 0:52Speaker 3: there's a little bit of that going on.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Well, I'm I'm sure there's some. I'm sure there's you know,
- 1:01Speaker 1: you know, when a bad play happens or you know,
- 1:06Speaker 1: penalty and sets.
- 1:07Speaker 2: You back a little bit.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's maybe a little bit where
- 1:10Speaker 1: we are in our season.
- 1:15Speaker 2: I'm sure that creeps in.
- 1:16Speaker 1: You know, guys are human, They're gonna feel that, They're
- 1:20Speaker 1: gonna feel that emotion.
- 1:22Speaker 2: But you know, it's.
- 1:27Speaker 1: It's the mental toughness, right, It's the it's the grind.
- 1:30Speaker 1: It's the the grit and determination and the guys show
- 1:37Speaker 1: it and they have shown it, but we just haven't
- 1:41Speaker 1: been able to overcome. You know, some of those setbacks had.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Focus this time of year and therefore do you.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Get some of the pre and ever what what what
- 1:57Speaker 2: do you mean by this time of year? What what
- 1:59Speaker 2: do you what? Oh?
- 2:01Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure there's some of that.
- 2:05Speaker 2: I'm sure. You know. I'm sure.
- 2:10Speaker 1: You know, again, you're human and and you know things
- 2:13Speaker 1: haven't gone our way this season, and disappointing as that is,
- 2:17Speaker 1: you're going to feel that emotion, right and.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Uh, it's it's just something that I think.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Everybody handles it a little bit differently, you know, but
- 2:30Speaker 1: it's that mental toughness we talk about, I think having
- 2:33Speaker 1: that and just trying to trying to flush a negative play,
- 2:36Speaker 1: trying it the best you can to to move on
- 2:38Speaker 1: from you know, bad plays, mistakes, whatever it is, and
- 2:45Speaker 1: trying to move on to the next play.
- 2:47Speaker 2: You know.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Right now maybe not, but yeah, obviously with the law now,
- 2:55Speaker 1: I tell you what, I'm I'm so happy for Brian.
- 2:58Speaker 2: He you know, we talked last week.
- 3:00Speaker 1: He's such a bright spot offensively and get his you know,
- 3:05Speaker 1: a thousand plus yards and and and all of that.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I mean, just a just a kid that you know,
- 3:15Speaker 2: so deserving of.
- 3:15Speaker 1: It, you know, from the way he works to to
- 3:17Speaker 1: how he plays and and the load that we put
- 3:21Speaker 1: on him, you know, to go out for a young
- 3:23Speaker 1: player like that to go out and perform like he does,
- 3:26Speaker 1: just so happy for him and and.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Uh, you know that that's definitely a bright spot.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Have you ever seen easier to bomb game?
- 3:36Speaker 1: Clearly the cornerback body, Yeah, I mean it probably a
- 3:40Speaker 1: busted coverage looked like I mean, yeah, you just we
- 3:45Speaker 1: needed to play, uh, you know, because I think I
- 3:48Speaker 1: think BT dropped the one earlier, you know, and then
- 3:50Speaker 1: we come back to him again and the same type
- 3:52Speaker 1: of thing and he makes the play.
- 3:53Speaker 2: So it's type of kid he is.
- 3:55Speaker 1: But yeah, that was h you know, never an easy play,
- 3:59Speaker 1: but uh we got help on that one.
- 4:02Speaker 3: How difficult it was all there snack I meant the
- 4:08Speaker 3: end of the game, but there was there was a
- 4:10Speaker 3: poortant game where there was four straight pre snaps. The
- 4:14Speaker 3: Raiders had two that you followed with two off sides and.
- 4:17Speaker 1: H but that's the those are the inconsistencies. And I
- 4:24Speaker 1: would say that. You know, coach Pierce is probably saying
- 4:26Speaker 1: the same thing. You know with his team, you know,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and you know, but but you can't where we are
- 4:34Speaker 1: as a football team and the type of year we've had,
- 4:37Speaker 1: we just can't make those types of mistakes. And I
- 4:40Speaker 1: think expect to win, right, I mean that's probably goes
- 4:44Speaker 1: without saying. You know, it's hard to overcome and and you.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Know, try to flush it and move on. I guess you.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Five games and we had opportunities again today. I mean,
- 5:03Speaker 1: the balls were you know, a couple of balls were
- 5:05Speaker 1: tipped and had chances. And you know that's part of
- 5:10Speaker 1: it too, you know, creating, creating the takeaways and and
- 5:13Speaker 1: you know we had two huge costly turnovers. You know,
- 5:18Speaker 1: but again it's not for you know, lack of effort
- 5:20Speaker 1: and all that, but it's a it's an area that
- 5:26Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, you just gotta keep working. You gotta
- 5:32Speaker 1: keep working during the week at it. You gotta keep
- 5:34Speaker 1: you know, making a emphasis in game. You see our
- 5:39Speaker 1: guys punching at the football things of that nature. It's
- 5:42Speaker 1: just it's just not bouncing our way. Did you ever think, Yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 1: that one surprised me, that one, No, I know, he
- 5:55Speaker 1: definitely would want that one back, but that's obviously we
- 5:58Speaker 1: know Logan is a great punter, just uncharacteristic of him
- 6:01Speaker 1: and and his ability, but uh, definitely a punt he'd
- 6:06Speaker 1: like to have back.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Okay, coach, thank you,
