  Speaker 1: Cooper, Sam told us on the last play that he
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: should have thrown down to.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: You, but you were open short.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: What did you see on the whole last play?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Do you agree with him saying that he was greedy?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm going to have to watch the tape.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I'll make those decisions. It looked like it was cover two.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Stacey made a good play. Sam tried to fit in.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It looked like a hole shot in there. So certainly
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: within the grounds of what that play was, got to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: make a good play.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Sam told us that it's BS that he's turned the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: ball over the way he did tonight, broke down with
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the team tonight. Just what does that mean to you
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: guys as a group when he takes ownership like that for.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: However he's going to play? Yeah. I mean, he, yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: he knows what it is. And, yeah, he doesn't want
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to turn the ball over. And that's, I mean, we
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: all know that. You know, lots are going to get
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: put on Sam. for the result at the end of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the day. Um, but we were all out there with
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: him and we all have a responsibility in this. And, um,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and like we, we all play a role in protecting
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the football and that comes, you know, it's, it's truly
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: been something that, um, you know, he, he's going to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: own that. And I know he's going to own that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: because that's who he is. But, um, We are not
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: doing a good enough job offensively to allow him to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: play in rhythm. We're not doing a good enough job
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: allowing him to get into a flow, turning small plays
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: into big plays. We're not doing a good enough job in.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: The run game.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: We're not doing a good enough job protecting him. There's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that need to improve, and Sam's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: going to wear all that because that's who he is,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: but not really fair for him to shoulder all of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it when we all... definitely have a role in what's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: gone on.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Just big picture you guys three and three three really
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: close losses kind of all obvious what went wrong with
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the turnovers what's kind of the feeling with this team
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: going to the fill break.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Here yeah i mean there's frustration i mean there's certainly
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: frustration and um you have find ways to win these
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: some close ones um we've uh we we haven't found
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the way to do that yet um and um you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: know there's lots of our own self-inflicted stuff there's just there's,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: there's mistakes across the board and, um, too many to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: allow us to overcome at the, overcome it at the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: end of the day. And so, uh, you know, we,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we like there's, there's, there's more than enough intention. There's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: more than enough energy being put into, um, these weeks
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in our preparation. Um, the attitude of guys going out
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: there onto the field is, is fantastic. I mean, guys
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: are bought into what we're, what we're building here. Um,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but it needs to continue to get better. The guys
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: need to continue to grow, and we've got to chase
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: those razor-thin margins, those razor-thin edges that we talk about
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: all the time. We've got to find ways to find
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: those edges and be able to make plays come alive
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for the better for us.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: What did allow the offense to go in there a
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: little bit in the second half and the last TD
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: drive and everything?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Sam playing lights out, I think, for
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit there. I mean, he was.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: They knew we were going to drop back and pass. Um,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and he did a phenomenal job. I think Jack's made
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: some huge plays for us. Um, we just found ways
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to get the ball and move forward. Um, I think
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I flirted a good job with some of the tempo
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: calls and, you know, get up on the ball. And, um,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you know, that obviously helps a lot with the pass
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: rush when you can keep moving forward like that and, um,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: hopefully tire out that defensive line. So, um, We've done
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a good job of that a few times now where
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: tempo has been a good thing for us. But, yeah,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I think that was a mixture of a few different things.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Anything else?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you, guys.
