• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I mean just yeah, I just obviously it's a bad,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: bad day all the way around, and um didn't execute well.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: But I guess that's one one spot where we did.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: You know, we were to put together a good drive
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and try to give ourselves a chance and didn't work out.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: But um, just in that instance, in that drive, we
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: were able to move the ball, and you know, I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: thought that was good for us. But yeah, it was
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: an ugly day for for us, for sure. It's already
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: been asked, but what was your fear when you first
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: went down with the injury? You know, like it was bad? Yeah,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was my knee at first,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and then my my foot a little bit was hurting too,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and um, luckily, you know, nothing serious. You know, I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: have to see how I feel tomorrow. And told him
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: just he just asked and said, you know, I'm gonna
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: be a little sore, but UM, thankful it's not anything serious.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought I was worried it was my knee,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: but um, I don't don't think it is, and I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: feel feel better than I thought I would, So yeah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'll just what are you overall? You guys have a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: high last we probably yes, I mean, it's just embarrassing, honestly, UM,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: what we put out there and such a big game
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: for us, and just I mean that's the word describe,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: is embarrassing. Everybody in that locker room feels that way too,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: just to you know how I mean, this is a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: playoff game for us, and we we go out there
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and lay down, and UM, I mean credit to them,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: those guys, those guys whooped us so UM, not taking
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: anything away from them, but just just the way we
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: came out and both sides of the ball, you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: all three phases just didn't play anywhere close to our
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: best football, weren't detailed, didn't execute, um, and it's just
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: embarrassing when you especially coming off a big win and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you come out here and um lay an egg. It's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just can't happen. You know, we've lost We've lost eight
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: games this year, and UM, never if I felt like
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we got embarrassed like we did today, and that can't happen.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You know, we have more pride. We worked too hard
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to do that, and UM, we gotta we gotta make
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that decision to get back on track next week. And
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that's kind of where we are at. That's where we're
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in our season. You know, I hear a game like this,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you've got to make that decision to to go the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: right direction and not um, not go downhill. And that's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: what you know, I believe in this team. We've done
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that the whole year. But we really got to have
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a great week and get back on track. Do you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: think something like that happens? You know, coming out to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: play the way like this, and obviously if you knew why,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you would not do it. But why do you think?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's a game of momentum, and I think
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: we lost it early and typically, you know, throughout the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: season we haven't won all the games, but we've been
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: able to get some back, and we just weren't able
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to today. You know, turn the ball over in the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: first possession and then they scored, and then I think
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we drove down and kick the field goal, um, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: then they scored and we just from there. Really, we
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: don't didn't feel like we ever gained the momentum back.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And that's huge in this game, and you gotta be
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: able to play without it to get yourself back in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the game. But at the same time, UM, you gotta
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: make some plays, you gotta have some sparks and we
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: just didn't do that today. You know, it seemed like,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you know, even offensively, it was like five yards at time,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just even that last drive we needed to go fast
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and it was just you know, and that's just the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: way the game is. You can't get it all back
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on one play. But I felt like we just didn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: have a ton of explosives. Um that we weren't consistently
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: moving the ball. We weren't great on third down. You know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I have to look at the numbers, but just you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I can only really speak offensively for us, but you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we all the way around. We gotta play better. You know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think it has anything to do and necessarily
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: was playing on the road today. You know, I'm I'm
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: not really thinking about um previous games this season, but
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: today it didn't really have anything to do with playing
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: on the road. We just got I just got her
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: as kicked. So I mean that's you know, it doesn't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: really anything to do with being on the road. But um, yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta win, you play. We we got
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a lot we have more road games this year at
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the home games, so you gotta win. You gotta win
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: your road games. And we haven't done that. Was there
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: anything Trevor at half time that they did make it
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: easier for you to play in the second half? Is
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that why it took longer to get out there? What
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was half time like for you? Well? What what? What
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: exactly are you're action? Sorry? Like the game the second
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: half it started by the time you came out of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the tunnel. I just was curious what was going on
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in and just you know, checking everything to make sure,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not don't have a serious injury, you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: not gonna get myself hurt worse by going out there.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And um, our team did a good job just checking everything,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: not rushing me back out there, and you know, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to get out there and play, but you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: they had the ball first, so we had some time.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So we took our time and checked everything out and um,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: everything was good, so nothing serious, And then just got
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: out there and moved around. They wanted to see me
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: move before I went back in, and UM felt good
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: enough to play. So maybe it was the word than
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the one to break the nine yards and we was
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: for you to say, okay, I mean I I felt
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: good enough to you know, I made that decision to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: go play, you gotta be able to move and run
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and use your legs. So I felt good enough to
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: do that, so I was I was fine with that obviously,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you know, with what I was dealing with. You'd rather
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: not you'd rather get the ball of your hands and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: stay on track. But you know, fourth down, game on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the line, gotta make a play, and I felt as
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: all the lanes, so I took it. But it felt good. Um,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I felt fine. You know, adrenaline of the game too,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that helps, so um but yeah, I'm good. Yeah, thank you,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: else good, thank you.
