  Speaker 1: Man, it was a great atmosphere.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Just I just told a team that really stings that, Uh,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: we had a great opportunity at home and in front
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: of the twelves, and they it was a great our.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Our fans did a great job. So we appreciate them.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: So but it stinks, you know. I thought, uh, just
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: in general, you got to give Green Bay a lot
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of credit. I thought they stay out day out coach us.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: We didn't.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: We didn't have a good enough plan in all three phases. Uh,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I'm responsible for that. And then frankly, we just we
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: didn't play good enough, didn't do the things that we've
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: been doing that one have won us games.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: We didn't do those things. So we can we can
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: rattle those off if you want.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: But I just told the team, hey, like good news
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: is everything, that that all of our goals are still
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: ahead of us, and we'll go back to work tomorrow.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: So we'll watch the tape and attack the heck out
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: of it like we've done the rest of this season,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and move forward and and get ready for a good
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Vikings team coming in here and and let's and let's go.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So got a lot of football ahead of us.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: All our goals are right there, So we got to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: learn from it, which we will and and move on.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Like, what do you know right now about Gino's injury? Yeah, so,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: uh it was it was a knee for Gino.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I tell you this.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, this guy, probably the toughest player I've ever
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: been around, was severe enough for him not to come
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: back in the game.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Uh well, we'll do all the tests tomorrow and kind.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Of figure it out as we go.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But right now, just structurally, it looks like it's okay,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: but uh, you know, we gotta get it imaged in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: all that stuff.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Was he close at all to being able to come back?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: He wanted to, and then he was about to go back.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I think, uh one of those drives.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I think it was the one we threw the I
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: think it was one before we threw the pick, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: then he.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Just just couldn't go. Do you expect him to miss
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: more time? Like, I don't know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, we gotta get the test done and
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I know I'll do everything humanly possible to go play,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: but UH just don't know right now.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So you can't. I just to clarify it's a sprain
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: or whatever, or you just don't don't know what Uh,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: what happened with him?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a it's like a quad knee combo. Again,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure the severity severe enough for amount to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: come back in So we'll figure out like the extent
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of what the imaging and all that type of stuff tomorrow.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Prior to the injury, he was struggling a bit and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: through his fourth end zone oh noo, through his fourth
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: end zone interception. What do you think accounted for that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in the.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Game, Well, again, I've be't talked to him about the play,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean again, the whole our whole team
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: didn't bad enough to win.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just so I'm part of that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Geno's part of that, and we got to learn from
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: it and keep moving forward. How much of the way
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: that the game unfolded early fall time fourteen?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Nothing impact the way that you guys were able to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: run the football, especially coming out of last week's Yeah, well,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: we you know, we didn't run it effective enough, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I think we still felt like we're going to stick
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: with our plan to you know, to a large extent,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: we knew this. This team starts really fast. Defensively, we
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: didn't hold up on our end of the bargain about
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you know, quoting that starting on how these guys operate.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: But you know, we'll look at the tape and see
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: where we fall short and move on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Why I just you know, uh, all the above, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: mean it's just a microcosm for the rest of the game.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: There's some plays that we normally make that we didn't,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and there's plays that they outplayed.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Us and earned those yards.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: And I can call a better game too, and I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: have a better plan.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So all the above, what was better than the second
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: half of the defense?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: They things turn a little bit well, I mean, our
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: guys are going to fight, and I mean we fought,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: even though we you know, we ended up running it
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: out and.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: At the very end just at you know, three scores
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: at a certain time, just it's not.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Worth risking injury.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But our guys fought, you know, up and really up
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: until the touchdown throw that you know, four minutes to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: eighty seven, which is a heck of a throw and catch.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You know, we we had opportunities to get back in
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the game. I think we got down to ten points
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and had a couple of possessions on offense to get
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it to a one score game, and then we ended
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: up turning it over and gave up the touchdown and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: then that was that was it. But our guys fought
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: their tails off. Coaches were fighting like heck on the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: sideline making adjustments. Our guys are in tune with, you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: getting figuring out how they're attacking us and track them.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Up with some some solutions.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: So our guys, you know, there are guys are always
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: gonna fight, you know, to the very end. Well, it
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: just wasn't mean, it wasn't good enough to win. I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: know he's disappointed. It just didn't feel like we were getting.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The ball out on time.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And then it wasn't complimented with our pass protection. I know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: we gave up a bunch of sacks and they did
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a good job too, so you know, they covered the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: routes and rushed the passer and it was a complimentary
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: game on their end on defense for him to be
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: thrown into those I mean the situation Sam went into Treylan.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And well, yeah, that's why we have Sam.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: That's why you have Sam come in and help us
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: win games with if he needs to so, but we look,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I mean it's yeah, it's a tough situation. He hasn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: played yet. This year, and we got we got all.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: We've got faith in Sam. The guy's a great player.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: If he gets another opportunity, he'll do a great job.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You stay off the top of your route, coach, In
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: what way was there playing better? Yeah?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I just you know, Look, I mean you want to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: feel like you're ahead, ahead of the game, and we were.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: We just didn't start fast enough.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: So we'll look at why and figure out schematically on
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: what we can do better. But we're never going to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: come in here and be like, look, the guy's screw it?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Me is you know?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I got to put them in better positions. We got
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to have a better plan on offense and special teams.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: We know that it just wasn't good enough.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So our jobs to figure out why and and and
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: fix it so we can move forward.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Jasend had another productive game. What do you attribute most
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: days breakout this year?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't call it a breakout. I mean, this guy's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: been making play since we walked in the door.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And there's a reason that we drafted them the first
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: round last year.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So I can't speak to last year.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But this guy is a dynamite player and he just
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: brings it every day.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So he's the guy that we.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: We thought he was.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: He's playing great. I mean he's he's doing a great job.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Are you doing well?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: But Kenneth Walker just there? You hoping he'll be back
• 6:09

• 6:16
