  Speaker 2: talked to him here atter the game yet.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: You've obviously been in this league a long time as
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a player and a coach. Where does that hit that
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: he took rank for you in terms of dirty hits?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I you know, it's it's a it's a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: play that nobody wants to see in our league obviously,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you know, because you see what happens, you know, after
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the fact, and it just escalates. And and I've got
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of respect for coach Ryan's and I mean
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: he does I know, he doesn't coach his team that way.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: We don't coach our team that way. And it's unfortunate,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: it really is. It's unfortunate, you know, And and I'm
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: just glad that you know, you know, Trevor is gonna
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: be fine. He'll obviously be in a protocol, but you know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: it's it's just just an unfortunate play to follow.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: To follow up on that, Doug, has there been any
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: thought I know it's really early, but has there been
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: any thought on shutting Trevor down considering his shoulder, considering
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: that the latest injury.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I mean it's thirty minutes after the game, so I haven't.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I haven't thought about that. Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: And then also it was announced in the middle of
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the game, Jerry mac is taking a job at Kennesall State.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Can you confirm that? And what's your conversation like with him?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited for Jerry. It's a great opportunity for
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: him to become a head coach again in college football
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and at Kennessas State. And I just thank Jerry for
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you know, what he's done here, and he's really you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: uh changed that running back room and and has done
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: some really good things for us. And wish him well
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and and I'm excited. I'm excited for him to be
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: able to watch him, you know, continue his career as
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a head coach now.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Uh, Doug Maxine to get into a groove a little
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: bit there in the fourth quarter he cut it to three.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: How difficult a decision was it to kick off instead
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: of try for the on side kick there and then
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: try to see if he could continue what he was doing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it obviously wasn't was a thought you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: know to do that, but we still had a couple
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of timeouts and still had some time left on the clock.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So you know, just the decision to go deep and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and you know, put our defense back out there and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and and try to get one more stop. You know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but you know it was we talked about it quickly,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: but ected to kick it deep.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Doug, After after all you and this team has been
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: through this season. Uh, what was it like in your
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: just your thought in your mind when you saw Trevor
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: go down like that, especially on a on a hit
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: so egregious.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I was excited for Trevor to get back out there,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you know, and and and start for our team and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: lead our football team. You know, this week that was
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: always the the goal, you know, was to shoot for
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you know, the Houston game and get him back out there.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And you know, it's just again, it's unfortunate. It's a
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: it's a play that that really has no you know
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: business being in our in our league, and and you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I thought the officials did a great job of you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: doing the best they could to get control of it,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: you know, and all of that, but you know, again,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: just trying to get again, get in Trevor in a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in a comfortable situation, getting it back out there, trying
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to get some you know, some momentum on offense. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and obviously you know that happens and it takes a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: little wind out of your sales. But you know, on
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the flip side of that too, Matt came in and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and got us back in the football game. So proud
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: of that too.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: When you see what happened in the aftermath, is that
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: something that you just kind of feel like, hey, that's
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: that's just a byproduct when when somebody sees their quarterback
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: get hit like that, that's just going to be the
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: natural reaction.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you see it at every level of football, right
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: when when the quarterback gets hit, you know, at that magnitude,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: it just escalates. And obviously Jari and you know on
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: our side, he can't he can't do what he did either, right,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: That's just that's unacceptable as well. And I know the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: legal you know, probably send out fines for both players
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and and and maybe maybe some others, but you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I I again, there's there's when you see that, Yes
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: it does. And plus it's a division game, right, it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's a division game, and you know it's an emotional
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: football game as it is. But at the same time,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you know, we we've got to you have to be
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the bigger person. You got to be the bigger man
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in situations like that. And and you know, just fortunate
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that that you know, nobody else was was ejected from
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Doug Way in the back will Brown Jacksonville today. Uh
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: last three home games, the defense has had an opportunity
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: to late in the fourth quarter to either get a
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: stop or get off the field to extend the game
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: or give give you all a chance to try and
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: win the game. Is it something schematic? Is the execution
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: that keeps leading to you all not being able to
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: get off the field in those third down situations.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, you just know as a player, number one,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you got to understand the situation, you know, chematically. You know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: we look at it as coaches and make sure you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: know we're putting our players in situations and to be successful. Obviously,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll take a look at the tape tomorrow.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I'll have a better probably a better answer for you
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: tomorrow on this, but just knowing and understanding the situation,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, you do everything you can, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to try to try to get off the field, you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and and you know, give credit to to Houston for
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: for executing that play and staying on the field.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Doug, what were your thoughts on Walker Little getting his
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: contract extension?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Excited for Walker, It's a great opportunity for him, I
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: think I think it just shows the commitment the organization
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: has and the type of player that he that he
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: is to really get him, you know, get him locked up.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And I think for for him too, I mean it's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a little little peace of mind knowing he can he'll
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: be here, you know, uh for uh, for the long,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: long haul. So I'm excited for him and his family. Uh.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It's a great, uh, great opportunity, Great for the organization
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: obviously in our team, and excited for him. Okay, thanks coach,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: thank you, Thanks for you good
