  Speaker 1: I mean, I feel overall we were able to put
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: ourselves in a position to win the game, and we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: just have to finish.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: What is sort of the emotion in there? I mean, obviously,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: you know, great comeback to get it to that point,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: but then you don't finish it, and I'm sure you
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: guys feel like you shouldn't win that game.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's mixed emotions. I feel like we
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: showed that we have each other's back. We stay connected.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: We fight to the end of the game. There's definitely
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: times where things were not going our way, but we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just kept staying in it. And like I said, we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: put ourselves in position in the end of the day
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to win the game, and I feel like we should have. And,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you know, kudos to them for winning the game. But
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like we have to finish in those moments.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Your three losses have come by eight points total. Is
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that a sign to you guys that you were close,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: or is that a frustrating takeaway that you're not going
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to win this kind of tournament? I mean, it's both
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: going back to that mixed emotions feeling. It's the same
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: way we feel about losing this game. It's the same
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: way the season has been going so far in these
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: first six games. I feel like we're doing well. We're
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: showing what type of team we are at times, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: we're not doing enough to close out these games that
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we should be.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: What did sort of change defensively after the two drives
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that they had?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Hmm. I don't know. I think I'm going to have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to watch the film. But I feel like we just
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: did a great job of, like, putting them in third
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and longs. We did great on first and second down,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: putting them in third and longs, like I said, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: then we were able to affect the quarterback. He started
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: holding the ball a little bit longer. We were tackling
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the check downs, and we just started playing cleaner football
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: on defense.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Do you guys think about just where you are in
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the standings? I mean, three and three, not where you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: wanted to be, obviously. I mean, does that become– do
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you look at that or do you just look at
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the next game is the.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Next game or– I mean, it's too early to look
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: at the standings. You know, three losses is definitely not
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: going to take us out of, you know, taking a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: run for the championship. But it's definitely, you know, time
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to really hone in and focus on what's stopping us
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: from winning these games. And, you know, it's definitely like
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: crunch time right now. As one of the leaders on
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this team, what do you say to Sam on a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: night like this? I mean, to me, I think he
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: did a great job himself of he broke down the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: huddle and, He took ownership on everything today. In certain situations,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like I have to let him calm down
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: as a player, let him diagnose the play and all
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the film and all that type of stuff. I have
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a personal relationship with Sam. I've been around him since college.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: We've been on multiple teams together. Luckily, I have that
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: relationship where I can approach him and talk to him
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: about whatever. I feel like we all trust him and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like He trusts in himself, and I feel
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: like he'll get out of it. Anything else?
