• 2:08
  Speaker 2: well you could tell. You know, we had a lot

• 2:27
  Speaker 2: back home to my family.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Focus at the.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Everybody got to Nope, I didn't go nowhere. I stayed
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in the hotel room every day. Nope, I didn't have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: my family here.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Obvious.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: As a team together, Uh, very it's very like very special,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you know, be able to come around the guys I've
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: never been around, so just having them around, you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I don't go nowhere, so when it's time to practice
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: after my most excited time of the day because I
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was around the guys, you know. But yeah, we just
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: gotta continue to trust each other. Uh. I won't say
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: it's easy. It it comes with football. We just gotta
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: do better. You know, the most disciplined team wins, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: they just out disciplined us today. How do you feel,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like we just we just gotta be better.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: We gotta be focused lockdown more. Uh, we we do
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: our best to you know, keep everyone. We we gotta
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: be professional, so we do our best to make sure
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: everyone has been a professional.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's uh I'm gonna have to watch
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: it and really see exactly what happened in every you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: drive and play.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But you know, I just think we got to start
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the games faster.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: You know, I know just from you can only speak
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: from my perspective, you know, just freshly off the game
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: that there's some plays that I got to make early
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to get us going, and it's routine stuff, you know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I had Travis in the first play of the game
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: open and uh just got to put it on them
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and move on and keep us in good situation instead
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: of behind the chain.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So that's one that really pops in my brain. I think.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Besides that, I have to watch the tape and really
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: see what happens.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It did feel like, you know, even some of those
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: drives is like once we did start going, obviously we
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: weren't able to finish the drives, but you know, there
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: are some things that we did out there that we're
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: moving the ball but just getting no points out of
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the drives. Which is almost worse because when you're using
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the clock, and so we got to just find ways
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to finish the drives, just to be consistent, make those
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: plays on third and fourth down when they come up.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: And we're gonna learn a lot from this tape and
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: just get better from it. I think it's everyone just
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: focusing on their job. Me you know, lying tight ends, receivers,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: running back to whoever it is. It's just every play,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: focus on your job. You know, rely on the guy
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: next to you to do their job, and good things
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: will happen. For so as long as the accountability is
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: always inward and looking at yourself and not trying to
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: shift blame to anyone else, there's no room for that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: And you know we haven't done any of that. But
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: just as long as that's the mindset, we're gonna be
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be fine. We're gonna get better. We got
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to get better. Obviously, we haven't played our best football
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: offensively the last couple of weeks, so there's a lot
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: of stuff that we need to clean up. But everyone
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: just has to take that approach of what can you
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: fix and you know, be better for your teammates. That's
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the mindset of, you know, always doing the right thing
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: because the guys are counting on you next to you.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Just throughout the game. The fourth downs we went for,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you said, yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yeah, I think you know, we're fourth and
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I think the first one was fourth and six, you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: down there in the red zone, and we were down
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: twenty one, like you said, into the first half, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: we felt like we needed to score a touchdown to
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: to you know, I don't want to say to just
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: stay in it, but you know, we we need to
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: score points, and at that point, being down three scores,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: you want to score touchdowns over field goals. So and
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: felt like we had a decent call and give us
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: a shot to get the first down potentially.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: So that was the thought there.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Then the second half, obviously, when you're down multiple scores, third,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: late third quarter, early fourth order, you kind of got
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to just go for those and stay on the field
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and give yourself a chance. Yeah, you know, Travis did
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: some great things today. I mean, you see, everybody sees
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: how special he is when you give him opportunities, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I felt like I was able to find him a
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: little bit more today than in the past. And and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: even still there, I think there's so much that we
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: can learn from and grow from in like our chemistry
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: and seeing the game the same. I think it's getting there,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: and I think that's why you see in the second
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: half some improvements and us connecting more. But there's still
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: a lot of meat on the bone for us to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: take advantage of, honestly, So I'm excited for that, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: we just got to continue to get better, you know.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Obviously that was good to see him, you know, more
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: involved and to make those plays and just continues to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: make plays and shows up when when.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: He needs to. So that's that's great.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a good note for me as a
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: quarterback just obviously to keep him back in my mind
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: that he just makes place, you know, whenever the ball
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: comes to him. But a lot of things that we
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: still can clean up. But I thought he did some
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: some great things today. Yeah, Uh, it's a not necessarily,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: you know, it's he's kind of an alert there if
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: you get a if you get a matchup, you get
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: a look. You know, they were playing a cover three
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: version and could have thrown out the quick out to Parker,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: but the corner tied down and I felt like we
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: had a match up there with the safety and Travis
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: did a good job fighting through they were holding them.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: That's where we got the flag, and but fought through
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the contact, still made the play on the ball, and yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you know, did some good stuff for sure. No, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: mean not not the you know, awesome like the first
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: NFL touchdown. I hate that those were the circumstances because
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I just wish it was better. Like we were winning
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and it was a different scenario for his first NFL touchdown,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: So he wasn't even celebrating. He's just competitive. He is
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: obviously wants to be winning the game. And he just
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: ran back to the sideline and didn't That didn't make.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: A big deal out of it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I wish it was definitely, definitely wish it
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: was different circumstances.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Did not really.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a good defense. You know, as far
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: as their their group up front, they can reak some havoc.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: They do a good job.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I mean that's where the this the defense is built
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: around that, and then in the back end they do
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: a lot of different things coverage wise. The disguise, well,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I you know, I really thought we had a good
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: plan coming in, just didn't execute good enough. Lot some
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: stuff out there. I'm sure there's be some things that
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: we look at and you know, moving forward that will
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: learn from. So it's yeah, I mean, he's we just
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: got beat today. I didn't play good enough. No, I
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: don't think so. I mean, it's just we just haven't
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: played well. I think you look at how slow we've
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: started the last couple of weeks, and even you could
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: put Kansas City in there too, that that game, we
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: started off slow from things that we can control. You know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: it's not like we didn't have a good plan or
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: anything like that. It's just some self inflicted wounds. So
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: if we can clean that up and just stay on schedule,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: you know, we gotta make.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: This corrections and do it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: But that's I think that's where you're seeing the slow
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: starts and then we're getting behind, and then against a
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: good team like LA, you know, it's you get down
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: fourteen points right away because you start slow and have
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: some three and outs, then you gotta it's tough sledding
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: from there. So we gotta find a way to get
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: back to starting the game faster, on schedule and just
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: play ball.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all appreciate it.
