  Speaker 1: What you saw in the interception? Yeah, I was trying
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to throw a hole shot into cover two and Moss
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: did a good job kind of carrying Parker up the field.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I was just making a quick decision. I saw them
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: go to cover two and I thought we'd have the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: sideline shot to Parker between the corner and safety and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: he did a good job. He carried him and so
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: right when I let it go, I saw him keep
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: running and turn his eye so I didn't have a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: great feeling right when I let it go but yeah,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I was trying to take a shot there and get
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: one to Parker there on third down and didn't go
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: our way and definitely want that one back. Definitely disappointing.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I felt like we played the opposite way in the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: second half as we did in the first half. We
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: played complimentary and played really well off the momentum that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: our defense was creating and some big red zone stops
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that they got and I thought we took advantage of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: some of those. Obviously, it was tough sledding for us
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: on offense the entire game, but it felt like we
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: made more plays in the first half and were able
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to sustain some drives and get points. Had the big
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: touchdown drive, and then we were able to get a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: field goal before half. That was really, really big. And
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: then we got a field goal right at the beginning
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of the second half. But even on that one, we
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: got to be able to score a touchdown in the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: red zone to start the second half. You look at
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the end of the game, all those things matter, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: we just didn't make enough plays the back half of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the second half. not able to grab the momentum after
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that interception and kind of wrestle it back from them
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: how disappointing is that you guys have been able to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: do that for a while yeah you know it's just
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: like like I said with the momentum in the second
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: half it felt like you know the interception and then
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they scored and then we didn't we weren't able to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: capitalize and the field goal also is like those three
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: things happen right in a row and as a team
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: we just got to be better at you know being
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: able to kind of gain the momentum back when something
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't go right and For me, obviously, you can't turn
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the ball over in a crucial situation there on third
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: down and give them good field position. It starts with me.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You've got to limit those turnovers and not give them
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: good field position and extra possession. I've got to be better,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and we've got to be better as a team of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: just bouncing back after something maybe doesn't go our way,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: which I thought we did a good job in the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: first half. We've just got to continue to learn and improve.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Third pass rush, did they throw some different looks at you?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: How much did the crowd noise help them play with that? Yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's a loud environment, so we knew
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that coming in. I thought there was, you know, in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: these games you're always going to have some plays where
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you're down on the play clock and you've got to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: hurry and go, and I thought we managed some of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: those well. Some of the other ones we didn't. We
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: lined up wrong a couple times where we had to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: call some timeouts, which can't happen, and we've got to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: be sharper getting in and out of the huddle. And then,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought as far as what they did,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it wasn't anything that surprised us. I thought they'd played
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: really good, uh, up front. You know, they got after
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: us a little bit and I thought we, um, played
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: on our heels, heels a little bit and we need
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit better to start the game and, um,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: finding some, finding some completions and finding some momentum early.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I felt like they kind of got after us early
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and we had to settle in a little bit later
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: than we wanted to. You guys kind of got Fajal
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: going in spurts. Yeah. How important you got to get
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: him going a little bit more than that? Yeah, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: think just finding consistency in the run game. I thought
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: we had a good plan coming in, but, um, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we got to execute the plan. We got to get,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know, run the right play versus the right look.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It's on all of us. I got to get us
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in the right play at times. You know, there's times
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: where I can manage the clock a little bit better
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and get us in a better play and keep us
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: out of, you know, those second and long situations. So
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it's just a lot to learn from. I think it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: early in the season, you know, obviously playing in an
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: environment like this against a good team. And I think
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of things that we
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: watch and we say, look, this is a learning experience,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and we've got to get better and improve. Like I said,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it's week two, and this one stings because we know
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: we were right in it and definitely could have won
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: this game. But, hey, we've got to learn from it,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and it's only as good as the lessons you learn
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: from it. Trevor, does it surprise you a little bit
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: being off on some of the details, where you had
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: first time outs or just late in clock situations? Yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'll have to watch kind of the timing of some
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of those. But, yeah, I think there's– It's just we've
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: got to be better, whether it's my communication being more clear,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: guys just hearing it in the huddle, being in there tight.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, whatever it was, we'll talk about it and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we'll find out exactly what it was. But, yeah, you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: don't want to have to use two timeouts on just
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: not lining up right out of the huddle. So we've
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: got to improve there. It starts with me just making
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: sure it's clearly communicated and that we're getting out as
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: fast as possible. So, yeah, definitely got to fix that.
