Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Just what's I guess what's kind of the mood of
- 0:02Speaker 1: the team right now after that one and just all
- 0:04Speaker 1: the twisted.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Turns that game. It's a tough mood for sure. Uh.
- 0:07Speaker 1: And there despite playing a bad game overall, we had
- 0:12Speaker 1: a shot to win the game and.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Didn't close it out. So not the best mood.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Even a lost Potentially, you guys feel like you made
- 0:20Speaker 1: some progress.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Especially Run.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought we played talent on defense. Uh.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Obviously you guys saw.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Don't Run game numbers were but I'm sure they were good.
- 0:30Speaker 1: You know, we's I think just our next step is
- 0:33Speaker 1: we have to play cleaner. I don't know what's going
- 0:35Speaker 1: on uh with these penalties, Uh, but we have to
- 0:38Speaker 1: just clean them up. What was What do you think
- 0:40Speaker 1: of the success you guys had against the Run today
- 0:42Speaker 1: coming out last week? I think just a collective effort
- 0:45Speaker 1: to improve it. You know, everyone was kind of was
- 0:48Speaker 1: locked into the plan all week.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Uh, we were wrapping it pretty pretty clean. Uh. The
- 0:53Speaker 2: entire weekend just a mindset coming, mindset to challenge to challenge. Uh.
- 0:58Speaker 1: And also the I think the d took it upon
- 1:00Speaker 1: themselves to just really try to take over in the
- 1:02Speaker 1: Run game and they did. I mean seeing see from
- 1:05Speaker 1: the back end is uh, those guys were were getting
- 1:08Speaker 1: atter all day. You guys have really held them down
- 1:10Speaker 1: the last three or four drives before the overtime drive.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Did they do anything different there with those three passes?
- 1:14Speaker 1: And uh in the overtime I mean the last play
- 1:19Speaker 1: good ball, good catch, obviously tough and then you know
- 1:23Speaker 1: the one on the over good play call for what
- 1:26Speaker 1: we were in and then the other one to our
- 1:27Speaker 1: left side just I mean an air and throw and
- 1:31Speaker 1: the guy made a play on it. It's it's unfortunate
- 1:34Speaker 1: because yeah, I thought we played a clean game other
- 1:36Speaker 1: than you know, the series come out of half. They
- 1:39Speaker 1: had a good drive, but we were playing I thought clean, uh,
- 1:44Speaker 1: clean enough to try to win a game.
- 1:45Speaker 2: But we's got to play a common many football across
- 1:47Speaker 2: the board.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Between the five weeks the next game that we got
- 1:52Speaker 1: to lock in, I mean, the penalties have been nuts.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with those Uh. Flags
- 1:59Speaker 1: were flying all day today, whether there are good calls
- 2:02Speaker 1: or not. Just we have to address that and then
- 2:05Speaker 1: improve on it. Especially you know, I can't speak for
- 2:07Speaker 1: the offense, but you know starting backwards is not even
- 2:11Speaker 1: never good defense, getting off the field on third down.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Then you see flags line is just is never good.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Obviously, improve tackling, improve our turnover ratio, and we just
- 2:22Speaker 1: have to collectively look who we have and try to
- 2:24Speaker 1: play to the best of our abilities based on personnel.
- 2:27Speaker 1: And so I think we're gonna obviously look and we're
- 2:29Speaker 1: the spy week and just try to attack this.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Then Julian big picture after the three and starts five
- 2:35Speaker 3: or six, you guys work having unable to get just
- 2:37Speaker 3: how how are you kind of processing that and how
- 2:40Speaker 3: frustrated are you guys with everything that's kinda happen here.
- 2:43Speaker 1: It's frustrating, but I think you know, it's not like
- 2:46Speaker 1: we're playing clean football and losing games, like we're not
- 2:49Speaker 1: playing good and so we have to we have some
- 2:53Speaker 1: areas to address, and yeah, we have to no start,
- 2:56Speaker 1: but we're kind of not dwelling on that. We're trying
- 2:57Speaker 1: to take it a game.
- 2:58Speaker 2: At a time.
- 2:59Speaker 1: We have an opportunity come out by weekend, so we
- 3:00Speaker 1: have to make the calls necessary during this week. Guys
- 3:04Speaker 1: to get healthy, get their bodies right, and just improve,
- 3:08Speaker 1: you know, schematically, just effort wise, just across the board.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Everyone has to really level up the second half and
- 3:13Speaker 1: just we've got to make a push and we're capable
- 3:15Speaker 1: of it, which is a good thing.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Aside from take care of your body, how do you
- 3:18Speaker 3: at this stage, you know that you've been in the
- 3:19Speaker 3: league for a while, how do you really maximize this
- 3:22Speaker 3: week off, especially coming out of a game like this
- 3:24Speaker 3: where you guys are in it but you weren't able.
- 3:25Speaker 1: To quite I think on all levels it's a great
- 3:29Speaker 1: time for self assessment. Coaches, players just understand kind of
- 3:35Speaker 1: what happened up to this point and stack and build.
- 3:39Speaker 1: The second half of the season is just a sprint,
- 3:42Speaker 1: it feels like, and we're very capable. We're a very
- 3:44Speaker 1: capable team and we've seen it done every year and
- 3:47Speaker 1: year out, and I think we can be that team
- 3:49Speaker 1: this year. Just to really turn it around, figure out
- 3:52Speaker 1: who we are as a team and just push. And
- 3:54Speaker 1: so obviously you'll take care of the body. You know,
- 3:58Speaker 1: we're all calloused up at this point, but just clearing
- 4:00Speaker 1: some of those you know, those little Nix and knax
- 4:02Speaker 1: will will help us just be a full for us
- 4:04Speaker 1: going forward. Made at the end of regulation to dislatch
- 4:07Speaker 1: that ball, a fantastic play Kobe's playing his butt off.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I mean, he's just a ballplayer. They tried to throw
- 4:15Speaker 1: a flag.
- 4:15Speaker 2: On that one, but thankfully they made the right call
- 4:17Speaker 2: on that one.
- 4:18Speaker 1: But he's just he's flying around, he's playing with effort,
- 4:21Speaker 1: he's training. You know, he obviously you guys know him
- 4:24Speaker 1: over the years and just he's a special player and
- 4:26Speaker 1: he's gonna keep growing the more reps and the more
- 4:29Speaker 1: time he gets.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Juli and you said you're the team that can get
- 4:32Speaker 2: on a run.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Here, what the trait you've seen from this team for
- 4:36Speaker 1: you to be confident.
- 4:37Speaker 2: That we have.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I mean, if you look across the wins football games,
- 4:40Speaker 1: we've shown everything. We just haven't shown it all at
- 4:43Speaker 1: the same time. Our ability to run the ball. Some
- 4:46Speaker 1: games stop to run, some games throw the ball.
- 4:49Speaker 2: We hit.
- 4:49Speaker 1: We're a huge, big play team, I think. But we
- 4:52Speaker 1: just have to level it out instead of being kind
- 4:54Speaker 1: of here, you just we got to level it out
- 4:56Speaker 1: and just keep grinding. And so thankfully we have all
- 5:00Speaker 1: here all the time. We have the ability to do
- 5:02Speaker 1: it all, and so we've got to clean it up
- 5:03Speaker 1: and just understand how we can win games and just yeah,
- 5:07Speaker 1: not sit ourselves back.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank
