  Speaker 1: We kept fighting.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: We're resilient, and it's tough. You know, when you find
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a way to get back in the game and you
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: have an opportunity and it finishes that way. But I mean, really,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I'm super proud to be a part of that group
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and got a lot of fight and we just gotta
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: just got to find a way to finish these games.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You know, we've we've had so many one score games that.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Haven't gone our way because some plays down the stretch,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and so it's tough.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: What were to do to go first? What's that place
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: supposed to do or what's the idea? What are you
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: guys thinking in the huddle.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we were getting you know, they're doing a nice
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: job of mixing it up on defense, but you know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: kind of started to get some more man towards the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: end there. We hit some big plays, just the one
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: we hit a tram. Took advantage of that and got
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: down there, and then you know, we kind of it
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: was a playoff of what we did earlier. We did
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: some stuff with the running back and some some option
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: routes and we tried to go over the top and
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: just try to give credit to the linebacker did a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: great job Nikobe did a great job making that play.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And it's just tough on the finishes that way. You
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: know when I when I threw it, I thought we'd
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: have a shot and left to touch inside and he
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: got his eyes back. You know a lot of times
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: those linebackers don't don't get their eyes back and play
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the ball. And I thought we'd we'd be able to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: go up and get it, and uh, he did it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: He did a great job, made a great play.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Sure starts.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I know we've asked you guys got it a lot,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: But what do you what do you think you guys
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: have to do to sort of just get it get
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: it rolling early.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, we'll look at everything, and it's been an issue,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: so it's something we got to fix.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I think we we didn't do anything in the first half,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and you know it was just for one reason or another.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: There was a couple of factors. But we just gotta
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: we got to improve there. I mean, it's it's just hard.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we give ourselves a chance to to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: come back and win the game, but you know, we
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: had to have a lot of plays go our way
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and we had to make a lot of plays and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: put ourselves in a tough spot. And you know, we
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have to do that every week. So you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we got to look at it and and how do
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we start better. How do we just move the ball
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: getting a rhythm. It seemed like we were just really
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: staggering it at first and couldn't you know, possess the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: ball and our defenses on the.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Field a lot. So we gotta we gotta get better
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: at that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, you guys going I was twenty throne if
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: every one of yards in the first half, we know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it was really bad.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And then I would see you got a chance, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I know there's ups and downs in the game, but
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it doesn't seem extreme right now for you guys.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: That was definitely extreme. I mean, look at our season.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that those We've had times where we
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: haven't played well, for sure, but that was definitely extreme tonight.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So but we we gotta take it for what it is.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It happened.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: You know, that was our performance in the first half
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: as an offense, and we gotta figure out how we
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: can get better.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's frustrating, you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Know when I feel like we have an opportunity and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't make the plays to put some position.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: To win the game, you know. Yeah, So it's tough.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I'm frustrated and I know it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I always got to start with myself and what I
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: can do better, And I can do a lot better.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I didn't bring didn't bring my best tonight, and it's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: definitely disappointing game. We needed and had a shot and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: just SHO would have got in the end zone there
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: at the end. You mentioned the closet losses you just
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: added and number of this year, and just how do
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you guys fight through that, and just trying to say
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of you to try and see if there's something.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: To know your way in that kind of road.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: We've done a good job of. I mean, where we're
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: at two and seven and there's no quit in us.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: We're fighting every week, we're getting ourselves a shot, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: it's like we're not making just the last few plays.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: There's obviously plays the lead up to it's not just
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: one play, but the ones at the end. You know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: all these scores in this league are it all comes
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: down to the end, and we're just not We're not
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: finishing the games and we're fighting to get back in it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Like tonight, those unbelievable guys not quitting put the defense
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: in a bunch of bad spots and just fighting their
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: tail off to to give us a shot, and they did,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and then we started getting getting it going on offense finally.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: But I'm just you know, probably sound obviously this point.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I am. We're not disappointed in in our team and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the way we fought, though, in the effort and everything
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: out there. I'm really disappointed, honestly, I'm in myself. The
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: way played felt like I didn't give us enough of
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a chance to win.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel like I made enough plays. Just some
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: stuff that I can't do and I gotta be better for.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: So that's what That's what's tough now, is I felt
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: like if I do some some things better, we win
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the game. So that's that's tough pill to swallow. But
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I gotta take accountability for that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But I can come out of this. Basically, we're all all.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Beat up at the time of the year, but you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: relatively all right, So we'll kind of assess obviously tomorrow morning,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: some some soreness sets in and we'll see what we're
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: dealing with but you know, it was able to to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: finish the game and felt okay. And I know there's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys dealing with stuff and we just
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: got to keep pushing through.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It's that time of the year, the middle of the season,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and it's tough. It happened the last one coming out, Yeah, just.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Trying to Yeah, just trying to make sure I'm all
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: right in the second half and do anything I need
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to go, to do everything I needed to to get
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: ready to go. So it took me a little longer
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: coming out, so but I checked on and felt like
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I was fine to play. So I'll get you're playing
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: with a bunch of different combinations up front receivers, I mean, and.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: How challenging is it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question. It it's challenging just because
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the continuity isn't always there. But I gotta just I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: gotta give credit to those guys for being ready. I mean,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: guys have stepped up and it's not easy. And golly,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I hate Koop goes down today and it's like he's
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: playing great young guy that had had to step up
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and I was ready to go, and it's like another
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: injury and it's just it's tough and we just gotta
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: battle through it and stick together. And I think the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: guys are doing that, and guys are ready to play.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You see guys that don't get many repscause there's only
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: so many reps, there's only so much time during the week,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and they're.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Ready to go.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: And receivers obviously had to step up today and those
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: guys did that and made plays, and so, I mean,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: it is hard, though, honestly it is. There is some
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: difficulty with not having the chemistry and not having some
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: of the timing and but at the end of the day,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I gotta trust those guys that I do, and they
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: made plays for me, and I just gotta be consistently
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: better as well. There's times I just got to sit
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in there and deliver the ball and make some better throws.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And I missed a couple tonight and big one on
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: third down near midfield kind of in the I think
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that was fourth quarter.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: At some point.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so I gotta be better for them and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: just just be the guy that I need to be
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: for this team.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Do you worry that the way you guys feel it's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: with these close games and the way everybody you know
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: has dealt with it, that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It starts to become maybe kind of who you guys are,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: or guys maybe start to accept it, and it just doesn't.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You know, there's no anger, there's no frustration. It just
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, I mean, we're all No, I don't.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that's the case.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're playing some some good teams and we're
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: putting ourselves in bad positions and we're still fighting and
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: having a chance at the very end, and it's it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: we're that close. So I think if guys were accepting that,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: or I'm not saying that, you're saying quitting, but guys
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: are just accepting that, I don't think think you'd see that.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: The way it feels after games feels like that. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: don't feel that either. I mean, guys are extremely disappointed.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: It's just been the same thing so many times this
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: season that it is. It's frustrating because you feel like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you know, honestly, I mean, you feel like you're about
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: to you're gonna break through it. You've got this adversity,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and this is the week we're gonna break through it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: And I thought this was the week and didn't get
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it done, didn't finish, so it is. It is frustrating,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: but we know it's gonna turn. We just have to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: keep working. It's all you can do, all you can do.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you all, appreciate it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: You know what. I'm safe,
