  Speaker 1: I guess any kind of assess for you guys or
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: as an offense last week, really promising, maybe no one
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: would want to be this week, obviously. Where do you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: guys feel like you're at?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, I don't think we'll really know
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: until we get up there and watch the film. And,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously not good enough. Way too many three
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and outs, way too many short drives and just putting
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: our defense back out in the field and just not playing,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you know, Not holding up our end, I guess. We've
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: got to be better than that and find some solutions.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Kudos to the Bears. They have a very good defense.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: But we've got to be better. We've got to be
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: able to execute better. At the end of the day,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: keep the ball moving forward and make the plays that
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: are there for us.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: There's probably a lot to that.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I think he's been tremendous off schedule over.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: The last couple years. I don't know what the stats
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: are saying.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: About things this year, but whatever it is, I think
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: he's a pretty dynamic quarterback when he does get out
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of the pocket. I think that there's a lot of
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: things that go into that in terms of us distributing
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the field and understanding that the play continues, really the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: second play starts once he gets out of the pocket.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: We gotta do better jobs of being able to get
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: open and find ways to let him get the ball
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: out of his hands when he does extend like that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: They were obviously creating.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Some pressure up front for everybody, but like what'd you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: see in the back end that they were kind of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: doing to.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Give you guys some troubles?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think they had a good plan.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Mix of some stuff that we've seen but also plan,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: you know mixture of some 44 man stuff a few different,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you know two-man looks doing a good job with the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: safeties and I think they played out well off each
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: other in terms of you know Understanding the times that
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: they can be aggressive at safety and be able to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: cut things and play low based on the pressure that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they were generating and or expecting to generate and also
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: being able to take away stuff down the field when
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: they needed to. So it's a good plan. We gotta
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: do a better job adjusting some of those ways. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we gotta make plays
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: as players and make these plays happen.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: What I guess just big picture wise, what do you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: feel like you guys need to do to get back
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: on track for the short week here?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Just get back to work. You got no other option,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: but I mean, you know, the show goes on. We
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: got to prepare for another team coming into Lumen and,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you know, we got to get back to work and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: back to the grindstone, be able to evaluate these things.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And on a short week, they're still going to, you can't,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the best teams have to continue to grow. You got
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to be able to, you know, watch the film and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: make the corrections and then move forward. That's just the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: name of the game. We can't, you know, can't gloss
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: over this thing and just move on to Arizona. We
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: have to make the corrections so we can grow, so
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we can challenge ourselves and, you know, be able to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: be a better team next week.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Jackson leads the NFL in terms of share, came into
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the stadium in a voluntary share of 32.3%. I think
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: it's going to go up. Just in your mind, what
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: can everyone else do to sort of get the distribution
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: more even because it kind of hasn't been?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, Jax is a great player. He's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: going to command targets. I think he's one of, if
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: not the best, receiver in the league right now. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: so that's just going to be part of the deal.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know, we all have a part in it. And,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you know, if he's open, the ball's going to go
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: his way. So, you know, I don't know. That's going
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to be what it is. And, you know, we've got
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to find ways to continue to compete and know that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you've got to compete without the ball as well. And
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: when the ball does come your way, you've got to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: make a play. Anything else? Thanks, guys.
