Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Who wants to start. Where's your head at right now?
- 0:07Speaker 1: I'll tell uh. I mean wherever where I guess where
- 0:12Speaker 1: it be at when you lose a game. I mean
- 0:14Speaker 1: it was tough. We started slow, showed a lot of fight,
- 0:18Speaker 1: showed a lot of resilience. But you know, losing three straight,
- 0:21Speaker 1: nobody wants to do that. But I mean it's too
- 0:23Speaker 1: late to put your head down. I mean it's kind
- 0:25Speaker 1: of like the twenty four hour rule. You know, you
- 0:28Speaker 1: take the loss, you figure it out, you can do
- 0:32Speaker 1: whatever you want for twenty four hours, but then the
- 0:34Speaker 1: next day got to focus on the next game. You know,
- 0:37Speaker 1: this ain't college where you lose three games now you're
- 0:41Speaker 1: out of the playoffs, right Like, you can lose three games,
- 0:45Speaker 1: six games, seven games. As long as you win your division,
- 0:47Speaker 1: you're in. Obviously we don't want to lose that many.
- 0:49Speaker 1: But I mean for us, we just can't let these
- 0:52Speaker 1: three losses continue to like push us down. Like we
- 0:57Speaker 1: gotta make sure people aren't giving up, Gotta make sure
- 0:59Speaker 1: we're not tapped now, you know, just got to fix
- 1:01Speaker 1: the intangibles. I mean like pre snap penalties, you know,
- 1:05Speaker 1: stuff like that, Like we just got to fix some
- 1:07Speaker 1: of those little things, So you know, we could be
- 1:09Speaker 1: able to figure out, like where are we at when
- 1:12Speaker 1: we're not getting penalties right, Like where we we know
- 1:15Speaker 1: holding might happen, We know interferences might happen, But like
- 1:19Speaker 1: the pre snaps, the little things like that, like we
- 1:21Speaker 1: can fix that to where it doesn't shoot us in
- 1:24Speaker 1: the foot, said than done to take those I mean no,
- 1:29Speaker 1: I mean it's just on us being able to understand,
- 1:31Speaker 1: like you know, how we line up, understanding the cadence.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I mean we're at home, you know what I mean,
- 1:37Speaker 1: just being able to do the little things. You know,
- 1:39Speaker 1: a lot of that could be focused. We could be
- 1:42Speaker 1: more focused oriented when it comes to walkthroughs, you know,
- 1:45Speaker 1: not just in practice. I mean, it's just those little
- 1:48Speaker 1: things like we gotta treat walkthroughs as a game, and
- 1:50Speaker 1: I mean I think we already do that as it is,
- 1:52Speaker 1: but you know, learning from the mistakes and being able
- 1:57Speaker 1: to correct the mistakes and walk through and you'll be
- 1:59Speaker 1: surprised through correct them and walk through they start to
- 2:01Speaker 1: get corrected in practice, which then gets corrected in the game.
- 2:05Speaker 1: What are you seeing early in games? You mentioned the
- 2:07Speaker 1: slow start, but it seems like that's kind of been
- 2:09Speaker 1: a pattern here the first six games. I mean, I
- 2:14Speaker 1: don't know, such kind of thing is just kind of
- 2:17Speaker 1: like how it goes at times. I mean, you know,
- 2:19Speaker 1: we started slow before, and I don't think sometimes if
- 2:23Speaker 1: you start slow, that doesn't mean that you're going to
- 2:24Speaker 1: lose a game, you know. I just think that for us,
- 2:26Speaker 1: we just got to be able to figure out what
- 2:28Speaker 1: is it going to take for us to be able
- 2:30Speaker 1: to play in the first half the way that we
- 2:32Speaker 1: do in the second half. And if that means we
- 2:35Speaker 1: got to play catch up, then you know, hey, let's
- 2:38Speaker 1: get that mentality where at the beginning of the game
- 2:40Speaker 1: we're already losing. If that's what it takes for us
- 2:43Speaker 1: to be able to play at a high level, I
- 2:44Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I think for us, it's just
- 2:46Speaker 1: going back to the drawing board and being able to
- 2:49Speaker 1: look at what happens in order for us to be
- 2:51Speaker 1: able to play at our best, right, Like, are we
- 2:54Speaker 1: overthinking it? Are we? You know? Are we over energized?
- 2:58Speaker 1: Are we you know? What? Like? What is it like?
- 3:00Speaker 1: Because sometimes when you're down, you don't overthink, right, Like,
- 3:03Speaker 1: you're not over energized, You're like sometimes you just gotta breathe.
- 3:06Speaker 1: So I think, you know, for each person it might
- 3:08Speaker 1: be different, but for us, I just think you just
- 3:12Speaker 1: can't let this knock you down to where you get
- 3:14Speaker 1: yourself in a bigger hole. Right, Like, it's good we
- 3:17Speaker 1: at least started three and oho instead of one and two, right,
- 3:20Speaker 1: because then three straight losses put you at one in five.
- 3:22Speaker 1: So for us, I mean, obviously the record is not
- 3:24Speaker 1: where we wanted to be at, but we're also not
- 3:27Speaker 1: in a bad position as well. We just got to
- 3:29Speaker 1: make sure we take care of business through our part
- 3:31Speaker 1: in practice to where we can actually see where we're
- 3:34Speaker 1: at on game day before what about this team maybe
- 3:39Speaker 1: gives you a hole, this will turn around. I know
- 3:41Speaker 1: there's a characteristic you notice so far. I mean you're
- 3:43Speaker 1: not seeing nobody give up out there. I mean I
- 3:45Speaker 1: think that's one of one, Like you don't want to
- 3:47Speaker 1: be able to give up. You know, when I first
- 3:49Speaker 1: got to the league, you would hear stories about you know,
- 3:52Speaker 1: obviously it's more so when you get closer to playoffs,
- 3:54Speaker 1: you'll see teams tap out, you see players check out.
- 3:58Speaker 1: And I mean for us, like we're not gonna check
- 3:59Speaker 1: out each other. We're gonna go out there and fight
- 4:01Speaker 1: to the very end. I mean, obviously, you see, we
- 4:03Speaker 1: didn't just take a knee and call it the game, right, like,
- 4:06Speaker 1: even though we might've lost the game, and we're still
- 4:09Speaker 1: trying to be able to score at the end, Like
- 4:10Speaker 1: you're still playing the game within the game, because you
- 4:12Speaker 1: never know when you're gonna need that drive in another game,
- 4:15Speaker 1: in another situation, and so you can always be able
- 4:17Speaker 1: to prepare and always be able to like take your
- 4:20Speaker 1: game to another level. But you know, we can't just
- 4:23Speaker 1: tap out, you know what I'm saying. We can't just
- 4:24Speaker 1: throw in the towel. And so I feel like we
- 4:26Speaker 1: got the players, it's not gonna do that. We got
- 4:28Speaker 1: the coaches, It's not gonna do that. And I mean,
- 4:31Speaker 1: sometimes you see who you really are in the face
- 4:33Speaker 1: of adversity. And for us, you know, I pray that
- 4:35Speaker 1: we pressed through instead of run away from tetter. What
- 4:39Speaker 1: factor at all was it that you guys are playing
- 4:41Speaker 1: your third game in a love days? Ten I feel
- 4:45Speaker 1: like it was ten days. I mean that's the schedule.
- 4:49Speaker 1: So I mean for us, I mean, everybody's beat up,
- 4:52Speaker 1: everybody's hurting. You know. Obviously it's something that's new to me.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I haven't done that before. I played Sunday, Sunday Thursday,
- 4:58Speaker 1: not Monday, Sunday Thursday. And a lot of people might
- 5:01Speaker 1: think that extra day is nothing, but for us, that
- 5:03Speaker 1: extra day is everything, because you never know how we're
- 5:05Speaker 1: feeling after one game, and you never know, Like everybody
- 5:09Speaker 1: just sees us play Sunday and Monday and Thursday, but
- 5:12Speaker 1: they don't see that people can barely walk right after
- 5:15Speaker 1: the game. They don't see the things that they got
- 5:18Speaker 1: to do day in and day out just to be
- 5:19Speaker 1: able to try to practice. Some people can't even practice
- 5:22Speaker 1: right because of all the things that they felt on Sunday.
- 5:26Speaker 1: You know, they compare getting tackled sometimes so always get
- 5:29Speaker 1: into a car wreck. And so I mean for us,
- 5:31Speaker 1: I mean, you see the resilience. You see the things
- 5:34Speaker 1: that people go through just to be able to fight
- 5:37Speaker 1: to get on the field, and to do that on
- 5:39Speaker 1: Monday and then turn around and do it Sunday and
- 5:41Speaker 1: then do it on Thursday. I mean, to me, it
- 5:42Speaker 1: speaks volumes to our team, and we're not the only
- 5:45Speaker 1: ones who probably be in that situation. So we don't
- 5:47Speaker 1: make that an excuse. You know, for us, it's just
- 5:50Speaker 1: I mean, you got to take care of your bodies.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, you see, you know things are happening.
- 5:54Speaker 1: You know, people are getting banged up, not only on
- 5:56Speaker 1: our team but just around the league. But you know,
- 5:59Speaker 1: we just got to take care of our bodies. I
- 6:00Speaker 1: think Mike does a great job being able to take
- 6:03Speaker 1: care of us and also get the best of us
- 6:05Speaker 1: and also be able to push us out there. And
- 6:07Speaker 1: so we just got to do our part again and
- 6:10Speaker 1: just understand what happened in this game and being able
- 6:12Speaker 1: to get ready for the Falcons next anything else. Thanks,
- 6:18Speaker 1: appreciate you. That's Flock.
