  Speaker 1: The last week that you were frustrated about that one
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: third down if you weren't a real in it.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Uh, how'd you feel about the bounce back today, getting.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: A couple of those third down some yards after catching Yeah,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: big guys, Yeah it was I think man, I just
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: felt like today we were able to get if we
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: really get first down, I felt like, now we could
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: move the ball, uh, really well, and then as long
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: as you didn't as long as we avoid something catastrophic
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: down there. Once he crossed the fifty, it seemed like, man,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: we could just if we could just you know, get
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: over that hump. It's just the details, Like, man, we're
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: on schedule, we're on schedule, we're on schedule, and then.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Something terrible would happen. You know. So a lot we
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: left a lot out there, But I'm.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Really happy with just being able to come out with
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: w and I felt that guys just played really hard,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: played really hard today.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: You talk about Sam Darnold and driving a couple of
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the first half, Yeah, man, he's just steady. He was
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: just steady.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And obviously he's I mean, he's gonna be hard on himself,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: but uh, his ability to just bounce back from that
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and knowing that man, we we need him to be
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: be able to be uh, you know, we can't be fragile,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you know, you be able to have that that callous
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that says, you know, I'm I'm gonna still pull the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: trigger when it's behind to pull the trigger and and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: be uh, you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Know, aggressively smart.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And I thought you had a great job just being
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: able to continue to play the game at a high
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: level after things just didn't go his his way early
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: on some things he's you don't want backs and balls
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that don't bounce your way, and you know, I I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: thought that he just he was able to play a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: really good game as a as it progressed.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Did you know that was a touchdown with George? Oh?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I had no idea.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I mean from where we were at, I thought he
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: had rolled over it and like rolled and popped up.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So I I wasn't sure what happened until the replay.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: But the shoot, we'll we'll take those. What do you
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: look at that second half for you guys offensively kind
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of during the eleven pass? Does that feel more like
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: kind of.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Who do you guys want to? Yeah? I mean I
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: think that's the the verbiage that a lot of.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: People use and but this is like I said, I mean,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: even even last week, it's felt like if we can
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: just get if we got drive started, we just were
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: able to control the ball and move the ball down
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on the field, and.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Then we just you know, something big negative would happen.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like a small things like behind the sticks
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit. It was like, oh, huge losses or
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: something going on there. And so we just gotta be
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: able to watch the film. We gotta stay on top
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and just know, we gotta be able to say drives,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and there's gonna be the opportunities for those big plays
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that happen, the big explosives. You know, Jack's said, a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: great job there in the fourth quarter, But there's gonna
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: be times where like man, that we're gonna have to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: sustain to drive and be able to stay detailed and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and and on our stuff when when both sides are tired,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it's who can who can be all their technique, who
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: can be so detailed and so into the minutia of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: what's going on that that we don't allow those big
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: negatives to happen and you know, be able to finish
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: out those drives and that will be a huge thing
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: for us.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And it was as first NFL catch, Yeah, that was
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: awesome for him. Didn't seem that excited to come off
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the sideline. I was like, I definitely barely even smiling.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what that was all about. Little
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a little little shook or something.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But what did you guys talk about it? Yeah?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Well I thought, yeah, we we just said, hey, it's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: our own stuff that's that's stopping us.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: We felt like, uh, if we just continue to push,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: continue to like do what we're supposed to do, don't
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: get down yourselves, don't you don't. No one used to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: do anything more than than what uh you're asked to do,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and good things are gonna happen. It was just about
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: sustaining those drives and being able to be all those
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: details that a lot of that, a lot of finishing
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: those drives too. And and guys, did I think we
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: came out and put put a drive together and it
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was the go down there.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And score touchdown.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So there's gonna be there's gonna be times that, you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: things don't go our way, but we gotta be able
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: find a way to overcome things.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And and you know, minimize the catastrophic place.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You played with dari On obviously U in LA. To
