• 0:01
  Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, just uh.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Talk about not doing the things in all three phases
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: to win a football game. Uh give give got to
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: give the Giants credit. Uh they out they outplayed us today.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: And with that said, you know, we give ourselves a
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: chance to tie the game and even win it there
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: at the end of the fourth and uh.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And came up short.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So message the messages is we don't got enough time
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to sit around and and uh, you know, put our
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: heads down. We got to keep our heads up, take
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: it on the chin, move forward. So we got a game,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: uh what was it three or four days? And uh,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: we need to be ready to go, So we need
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to get better in a hurry.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Like it takes some thinking on fourth and one and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: choosing to go for it here and then there. Yeah,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I felt like we had a good play and.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Uh it was confident in the situation and we felt
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: good about it. And and I'm not sure, I'm not sure,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: like I don't they didn't play it the way that
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we expected him to and Burns made a great play.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: So that was was that the play you called as executed?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: That was that was the play that we had game
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: plan for that situation. Mike, what'd you see is the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: struggles on defense today for you guys.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: We got we got out, we got out played.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Now executed today, that's what happened.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I thought we made some good adjustments as the game
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: went on. I'm not sure what the numbers are saying,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: but like you know, we didn't get out, but when
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: we did get create a third downs in the first half,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we didn't get off the field and then I think
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: there are some penalties there in the second half.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of all the way around.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: All three phases, all three levels of the defense, Uh
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: myself included.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, we got out played the day on defense.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: The second straight game that you guys came out throwing
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: the football. I believe fifteen out of the first seventeen
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: plays dropped back and throwing. Ken Walker had four carries
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: midway through the third quarter. What are your thoughts on
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: that situation. This seems to be a trend to where
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: number nine, when he's been healthy, is not getting the
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: ball very much until.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Late in the second half.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean that's a fair question, and uh
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: we do. We definitely need to get the run game going.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: The way the game started, you know, we were thinking
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: about trying to get Gino going early, and uh, I'm
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: not sure how many plays we had in the first half,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't many.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So games started.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna get out of hand there, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: so we had to get going. But you're right, we
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: need to get the run game going. When you get
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: ken the.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Ball more down there at the time is uh, well,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you know there's a guy in the a gap. We
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: need to block him. So it's pretty much that simple.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: But you're allowed to push down.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: They pushed down on our right guard and he wasn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: able to get to Simmons.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Do you of all the success they had.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: In front of the ball, do you guys feel like
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you had the right personnel in.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: There to run.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's our best eleven guys given given who's on
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the field for them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And again we we have to we have to.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: We got call better game and when we are in
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: those plays, we have to execute better and tackle and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: leverage the ball better. I mean, it's fundamental football that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we're coming up short, and that's what's that's what's disappointing
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: What did you see from Drome Baker? First getting back,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he had a couple of plays in goal one.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Called Jerome and then those critical situations. I thought he
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: played had some really smart plays.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: In the run game.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: But you know, all all eleven guys need to be better,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and it's that's what it is on a short.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Week because you feel like the energy to focus the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: effort was where it needed to be.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought we we bounced back throughout the week.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: The guys were focused, that we executed really well throughout
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: throughout the week.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's hard to do a huge autopsy right.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Now because you know as about an hour we're going
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to go back to work on the Niners. So but
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: we do need to look at it and see what
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: we need to improve. But I thought I thought the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: preparation was was good enough.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: To go win a game. What what a Tree and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: U Chinna? Do you have any update on them with
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: their injuries?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Rieque has an ankle, We're not We're not sure what
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that looks like. Uh Chenna had a I think I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: believe it's a thigh, so.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Not sure.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Shanneth thigh or a foot thigh with with Rico who
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: is uh you might appreciate it, but you got the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: third down pass breakup?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Obviously, what did you see him in the time he.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Got well, I mean he's got he's got to go
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: in there and play at a high level.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: He's been practicing, uh, practicing well enough to be to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be up and be the next guy in the game.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So there's gonna be a competition there, uh, based on
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: what happens with Reek and.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: How we align guys.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: So, but it was good to see him respond and
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: make some plays in the second half.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You mentioned quick turnaround.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: There's three games you play again, how hard is it
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: to fix things fundamentally and to pick yourself up when
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: there are such short gaps.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how hard it is. Nobody has any
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you know, nobody cares. We got to work harder. Yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just that's the way it is. So,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's an opportunity to go make it right
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: in four days.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: That's really what we need to focus on. They finished
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: with seven sacks.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I did you you've seen them really doing anything like
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: scheme wise to try to get open there.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure. I'm not sure what.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Without like dissecting when they were calling stuff in certain situations,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: but they rushed well.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Today they got to got front.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean the thing about Geno is the guy's
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: gonna battle his tail off no matter the circumstance. I mean,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: we're fighting even when we're down, you know, nine points
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: at the end.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we take a sack there.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: So he's just this guy is gonna This guy's an
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: ultra competitor. And given the game was going, you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we did some things at the end of the at
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the end of the second half that I thought was
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: pre dating good. But you know, and Gino's Gino is
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a big time pro. He's a he's a leader on
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: this team, and so.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: He's going to be a.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Kind of uniting force for us, at galvanizing force for
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: for us and in order to in order to get
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: in the direction that we want to go.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Any off, how can I knew? Arna, Thanks for
