  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's, uh, it's tough, you know, I feel it's
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: pretty surreal feeling.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Just it's kind of hard to put into words right now,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean it's just it. Yeah.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Cut the whole season comes down to one game, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: then you look back and it's like a few plays.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Cut Your whole season comes down to a few plays,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and we just weren't able to make them. So it's
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of course you're thinking about if you did things differently,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, if one play went a little differently,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: or if you weren't in certain situations or whatever. You
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: think about all that, which then that's the hardest part
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: about losing and losing games like this is you go
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: back and you replay everything and it's kind of still
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: got you know, has it hasn't even really set in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: yet that you know, we're done, not gonna playing anymore
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: this year, So it's gonna be a long, long offseason.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, it's tough to put into words
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: right now. U Doug said, use your plitic goal, I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: could go head with the outstretch.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Did you just kind of even though you.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Had a full yard to go, do you feel like
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: your life it's worked before work?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of those plays like we talked about,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: uh or like th like I just said, you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: scored on it four or five times and detting on
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that one. So it's unfortunate and something I can learn from.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, maybe that situation you just let the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: play ride and and and hope you get in and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and let the guys up front do their job and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the running backs and all that, and you know, don't
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: try to take that into my own hands. You know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that's something I gotta watch it and make that decision.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: But it's done now.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I made the decision and they they trust me with
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: those things and didn't work. So you know, I gotta
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: take accountability for that. And you know, at the end
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of the day till me if I decide to do
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it and don't get in. You know, it's one of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: those plays you if you do what you bet score
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and I didn't, So it's unfortunate.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: On the interception, does aay? Was that a timing thing
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: or just bro that got away from you? And and
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: can you talk about how difficult it was to be
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: in sing today with all the practices that you know
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you haven't been.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Able to go through, you know, it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I ya think it's yeah, a little bit of timing
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: stuff on that particular play. I don't think it had
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: anything to do with the you know practice or anything
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: like that, but you know, a little bit of timing stuff.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I missed it inside. You know, we weren't a hundreds
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: on the same page there, but the end of the day,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I just missed the throw inside and just not a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: good throw. So you know, that's the play that they made.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And so I think we had two turnovers pretty almost
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: back to back there at the in the first half.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just bad on me. You know, missed
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the throw, left it inside and you know had 'em
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: for completion if I throw it outside.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: So it just missed it for I want you, uh,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: missed opportunity? Is this with the talent you guys had.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: In the room, Yeah, it's definitely. I mean that's what
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: sucks the most is you know, we feel like we
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: had we have a great team and have the pieces,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and especially you think about gout, you know, guys like
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Christians coming back next week and hope you know, things
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: like that, and it hurts, you know, it hurts to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: not be able to finish and you look at where
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we were at one point in the season and just
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: finished really really poorly and kind of you know, gave
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it away. So there's so many things you look at
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and it's disappointing and frustrating. And we have a lot
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of really great players and I think we have the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: potential to be a great team.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: We didn't finish the year that way. You know.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I think we were headed towards that halfway through the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: season and for whatever reason, just didn't finish well. That's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: something we all got to look at and, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: individually and say what can I do better?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: That's how you get better as a team. And yeah, golly,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's it's super.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Frustrating and just not even not even I mean, it
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: is frustrating, but it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Just just hurts.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You know, you put in so much time and then
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: there's just nothing to show for it. You put in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: so much work from starting in April but really starting
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: training camp in July and it's just done now, you know.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So that's what this one will sit and you'll sting
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: for a while and it should so hopefully this just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: propels us forward and got to learn from it. You know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I think we got we have the pieces to be
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a special group, special team.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: We can we can go really far. And but that
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't make you feel better now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: But you know, we gotta learn from this, and you
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: gotta you gotta use this as a learning lesson and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: get better from it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Is an idea, and what a different year, but especially
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: say a group of guys that was able to kind
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: of close and you in the last season. What why
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: this group unable to find best work and unable to
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: get that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, every year's different.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, we talked about even after the game, this
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: what it took last year wasn't what it took this year.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it took more. You know, we had think
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we finished nine and eight both years, and it it
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: took more this year.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: We didn't do enough.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So it's just this league is it's it's it's a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: crazy league and and every week you have to do
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: everything you can to bring your best and we didn't
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: do that today And look back at the last six
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: week weeks or five weeks or whatever, felt like we
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: didn't do that in a lot of those weeks. So yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it's gonna sting, and we're gonna all have to take
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: accountability and you know, kind of live and sit with that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: For the whole offseason, and I know it's disappointing for me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I felt like I didn't feel like I didn't do
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: everything that I could have done today to help.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Us win, and didn't feel like I, you know, played
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: my best.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So hurts, But at the end of the day, it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that's what you put on the field, that's what that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: what we did. We gotta live with the result, we
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: gotta use it to make us better on that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like this team sort of settled at
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: eight and three everything was gonna kind of fall into place.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to It's hard to say, and I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I don't really not really, I don't think that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It's just yeah, it this this league is funny, you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it's it's hard to win, and for some reason, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: we just didn't play as good as a team as
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the season went on.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You know, when we needed it, when we needed to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: be our best, we weren't.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And last year it's the opposite, you know, when we
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: needed to be our best and absolutely had to have it,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: we were and we found a way to win up
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: until the divisional So yeah, it's uh, you just have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to bring that every week and there was a disconnect somewhere,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and obviously we weren't able to put that on the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: field in the back half of the season, like we
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: needed to to give our s uh ourselves a chance
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to make the the playoffs and go on a run.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's yeah, it definitely sucks.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Though.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: How much did the did the injuries impact you down the.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Home fresh season?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I mean there's no excuses. There's of course, injuries impact us.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Injuries impact every team at this point in the year.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: But that being said, I mean there's the Titans are injured,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they're banged up. You know, They've had a lot of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: injuries this year. There's you look at teams all all
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: across the league and you gotta it's football, that stuff's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, and you gotta find ways to win despite
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: having guys injured, having guys out, having guys banged up.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And I don't think we did enough good a good
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: enough job of that this year of just you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: finding ways to win regardless of the circumstance chances, you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I just you know, whatever that was. You know, I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: thought we had a good mindset. I thought every week
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: we came in and we put our best foot forward
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in preparing and that didn't always show on Sundays, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: we gotta look at that and think of what we
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: can do better. So, yeah, it's an it's unfortunate, So
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt for a while. And yeah, it's kind
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of gotta let it set in for a couple of days.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: How what do you say to the guys around your offense,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: in particular, pick.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Them up in this obviously dark moment.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I you know, the words now don't really mean much,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and know you're kind of still it's fresh, and everyone's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: gonna deal with this their own way, and you should,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I mean everyone does, but you should should feel sick,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and you should feel disappointed and frustrated in yourself and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: our offense and the team everything. I mean, cause like
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I said, you put in so much work and then
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: for it all to you know, coming in here, we win,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: are making the playoffs, we had a home playoff game,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: we're leaving here going home, and we're done. So that's
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a big that's a big change on kind of what
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you're expecting and what you're thinking you're about to do,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and then to not get the result. But you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I just told the guys at this point, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I love them, I appreciate them. There's really we're not
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: going to dive into the game right now and all
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the things that could have, should have, would have. But
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: now I appreciate those guys. They put in a lot
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of work, and we've put in a lot of work.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: We've sacrificed a lot of guys have played through a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: lot of injuries.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: It's been a tough year in that regard.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And you know a lot of times you guys don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: always get to see and people in the house, I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: don't get to see what guys do to to play,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to play well, to be there for their team. It
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: happens across the league. But I'm just proud of those guys,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and you know, it sucks right now. We didn't get
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the result we wanted, But now is not the time
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to kind of get into all that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: We will here shortly.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sure tomorrow will we'll be uh'll be tough, tough meetings.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: But today, you know, we got to just kind of
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: pick each other up. I don't think you need to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: pile on right now. We all understand where we're at
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and how disappointing it is. They'll finish that we had
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: this year and we gotta be better. So it's yeah,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: thank you all. I appreciate it.
