  Speaker 1: Oh man, what a weird game. You know. Obviously, I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: think the first half you know, was was really solid
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: for us as an offense, you know, and then the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: second half it was just a different story, you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, we just got to hold
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: onto the football we got. We can't turn the ball
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: over like that. I can't turn the ball over like that.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: But again, our defense and our special team stepping up
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: tonight was huge. So when you come out of here,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you know, having a game like that offensively and you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: still win the ball game, can't ask for more than that.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And you know, we're just going to continue to learn
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: from from our mistakes and get.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Better potential for this offense. Though that with all those turnovers,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you put up the most points anybody has on Houston
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: all year.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean when we execute, when we do our
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: job every single play, the results kind of speak for themselves.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: We just can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: way that we have, you know, and we've put together
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: consistent you know, I think Tampa in that loss was
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a pretty consistent performance from us. You know, still had
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: some minor detail things that happened there, but you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we just got to clean up the details, and we will.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We'll watch this tape, get better from it and enjoy
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: this off. You know, this this bye week is gonna
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: be huge for us to get some guys back and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you know, get healthy. So we're gonna enjoy the bye
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: week and come back swinging in a couple of weeks.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: The sack of the end zone with the funnel and everything.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I guess, what do you is a company you think
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you should do differently there?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think you know, at the end of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the day, I gotta I gotta get the ball out
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of my hands. You know, if if I feel like
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: nothing's there, understand where my checkdown is, and if he's covered,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: throw it at his feet. You know, I think he
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was open, so I got to get the ball to him.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else there is for you to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: say about guys due at one hundred yard game this season?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, touch down.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Just I guess, is anything surprise.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: You about him anymore than playing? I think just it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: not surprising because I see him coming to work every
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: day with the same mindset and the consistency. And it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: not just him, it's our entire receiver group. It's our
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: entire group as an offense, and you know, we're going
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to keep getting better and learning from our mistakes in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: these games when we have that attitude and so you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna, like I always say, we're going to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: continue to grow and get better receivers that Justin Jefferson,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: guy's pretty good. What says jsn apart kind of in
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: his own way, what is so inable about? Yeah, they're
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: both obviously really really good players, great players if you will.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I think they are really different. You know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they both know how
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to get open. You know, I think that's the only
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: thing that matters. And you know, they they run routes
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in different ways, but they understand. They just understand coverage.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: They understand you know, the dB that they're going against.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And again that's that's habits. You know, that's both of
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: their film study habits that they have every single week,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: understanding the guys they're going against, understanding the coverages that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we're going to see. So excuse me, I think at
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's, uh, you know, them
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: just understanding who we're going going against. In the preparation
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that you know, Justin and js N have during the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: week that touchdown cast as the window was about that big.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Yeah, you know, it's just something that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we work on. We worked on it a couple of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: days in a row. We work on that throw all
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the time, going back to O t A's So yeah,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it's just again it's it's the work that we put in.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You know you're gonna take a shot. Is that the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: yes and s of being an NFL quarterback to stand
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and throw that?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, my eyes are downfield so I can
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: feel the rush. But at the end of the day,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta throw it to the spot with
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the right timing. And if I do that, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and understand what the defense is doing, you know, it
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: works out more times than not.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: It was on the fourth and one roll on the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: second half where you had a tight end short motion.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Quarterbacks were thrown too. And what is it Smith and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Jagob does to you take the twenty yard round of
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: fourth and one instead of the tight end in front
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of the flat?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it was, Uh, it's just my progression.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, I felt like the linebacker if
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I would have thrown it to the flat, I think
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he would have gotten tackled in my opinion short and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: so I just progressed up and Jason ran a really
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: good route.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And as Jackson has done as terror, have you seen
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: defenses try to do things differently or do things more
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: to try to.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Take him away. Yeah, you know that he gets doubled sometimes.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, we see some cloud coverage, but you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of things that teams, teams do
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to try to take away players like that. But again,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you know, with the guys that we have, you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: other than JSN, all of our skill players receivers, tight ends,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: running backs, like you know, you got to count for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: those guys as well as far.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: As adults seem to go and slam it on the crossbark. Uh.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was surprising, just because you know, we know
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that it's penalty. So uh yeah, I don't know, I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: haven't really talked to him about that, but he got up.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I know that. But yeah, we'd we'd like to maybe
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: uh not do that next time you.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Off card by shut you're getting you on your back
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: on the sideline there was you look like you've already
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: out of bounds.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was an interesting one. Uh, you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it's uh, it is what it is, you know. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: know I was out of bounds I think when when
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that happened. But it was weird because I was in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: bounds when he first hit me. So I don't know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: That's just that's kind of what happened. And uh yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: we got the penalty about the first down. That's all
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it matters.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Do you feel that any in particular, any of your.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Back that harder was just no, No, it's good. Got
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: me into the game a little bit, So anything else
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I appreciate, you guess.
