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