Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Obviously it's We've had a few a few of these
- 0:02Speaker 1: this year, so it's just it's frustrating. It's tough, not
- 0:07Speaker 1: not as much frustrating, just you know, those are the games.
- 0:10Speaker 1: We feel like we could have won every game that
- 0:13Speaker 1: we've been in this year, and um, that's that's the
- 0:16Speaker 1: NFL though, So there's a lot of teams that can
- 0:18Speaker 1: say that, And at the end of the day, just
- 0:20Speaker 1: matters if you if you win or lose. So just
- 0:22Speaker 1: continuing to find ways to go and finish and to
- 0:24Speaker 1: win these games. And um, yeah, it's it's obviously there's
- 0:28Speaker 1: gonna be a lot to learn from today. Um, there
- 0:30Speaker 1: was some some interesting situations that I think everywhere players
- 0:35Speaker 1: like we can handle better. Just you know, there's some
- 0:38Speaker 1: some tough situations and you know, at the end of
- 0:40Speaker 1: the day, I think we did take a big step offensively.
- 0:43Speaker 1: That was that twenty play drive at the end. Um,
- 0:45Speaker 1: just the confidence was in that huddle. I mean it
- 0:47Speaker 1: was it was cool to see and um just wouldn't
- 0:50Speaker 1: want to be beside anybody else in there. So I'm
- 0:52Speaker 1: just proud of those guys. And and then defensively to
- 0:55Speaker 1: it made some made some big plays and it's it's
- 0:58Speaker 1: really it's just on all of us to find ways
- 0:59Speaker 1: to h to execute better. I know we had offensively,
- 1:02Speaker 1: we had a drive where I missed a big throw
- 1:04Speaker 1: on third down on the plus forty or so maybe
- 1:08Speaker 1: the plus is really the plus thirty thirty two yard
- 1:10Speaker 1: line on third down. Gotta hit that one to Christian.
- 1:12Speaker 1: And so there's plays that you think about and you
- 1:14Speaker 1: kind of kick yourself over, and it's just how can
- 1:17Speaker 1: we all get a little bit better and put ourselves
- 1:19Speaker 1: in that position to actually go and win it, you know,
- 1:21Speaker 1: not just be close and um, that's what's frustrating. And
- 1:25Speaker 1: but I really I believe in the team that we have. UM.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I know we have that confidence no matter who we're playing,
- 1:31Speaker 1: that we can go win. Um. And that's and that's
- 1:33Speaker 1: huge obviously, And eventually we gotta go and win those games.
- 1:37Speaker 1: And we know that. And there's a lot of things
- 1:39Speaker 1: that we can learn from and get better from. But
- 1:41Speaker 1: you know, right now, I'm still kind of taking it
- 1:43Speaker 1: in and obviously motions are high, and big biggest thing
- 1:47Speaker 1: is we got to stick together and we're all in
- 1:49Speaker 1: it together no matter no matter what the result was.
- 1:52Speaker 1: We all have our part and we got to look
- 1:54Speaker 1: in the mirror kind of the same thing we said
- 1:55Speaker 1: last week and and and address it and move on
- 1:58Speaker 1: this week, encouraging with it. For you that when it
- 2:00Speaker 1: mattered and he needed that go ahead score down no
- 2:04Speaker 1: less that you were able to get into I mean, yeah,
- 2:07Speaker 1: there's been you know, a bunch of guys in the
- 2:09Speaker 1: defense come to me and we're apologizing, and I'm like, man,
- 2:11Speaker 1: there's been There's been plenty of times where you know,
- 2:13Speaker 1: I wasn't able to get it done and you guys
- 2:15Speaker 1: put me in a position to go win the game.
- 2:16Speaker 1: And so that's We're a team and that's the thing.
- 2:19Speaker 1: That's the that's the beautiful thing and about this game
- 2:22Speaker 1: is that it's a team game and you gotta have
- 2:23Speaker 1: everybody and um, whoever plays the better complete game wins
- 2:27Speaker 1: the game. And you know, that's that's the thing. Uh.
- 2:29Speaker 1: And I really believe in the guys that we have
- 2:31Speaker 1: and and love our team and just uh, we fought
- 2:34Speaker 1: till the very last second and didn't go our way today,
- 2:36Speaker 1: But I'm really confident and who we have and how
- 2:39Speaker 1: will respond. So this is really starting to get going
- 2:42Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. Yeah, Travis has been great.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I mean, just you guys see how hard he runs. Um.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Obviously his speed helps us a lot. And just between
- 2:51Speaker 1: him and James and and Hasty, you know, uh, he
- 2:54Speaker 1: had a big, big run today on on third and shorts.
- 2:56Speaker 1: So that was that was awesome. Might it might have
- 2:58Speaker 1: been four down actually, but it um. Anyways, that was
- 3:01Speaker 1: a huge run. And just those guys are doing a
- 3:03Speaker 1: great job and o Line is doing a heck of
- 3:06Speaker 1: a job up front. We ran the ball great today, Um,
- 3:08Speaker 1: So that was that was good to see. I know
- 3:10Speaker 1: they were, they were excited and we all were so Um.
- 3:13Speaker 1: It's hard to, you know, talk about the positive when
- 3:15Speaker 1: you when you lose. It's frustrating, but they're definitely. Like
- 3:17Speaker 1: like every game, there's positives, there's there's negatives, there's sayings
- 3:20Speaker 1: we gotta do better. But I thought we ran the
- 3:22Speaker 1: ball great today. Obviously in the second half as much
- 3:25Speaker 1: as we as much success as we had on the
- 3:27Speaker 1: ground first half, they had some adjustments so it was
- 3:29Speaker 1: a little tougher to to break off those chunks. We
- 3:32Speaker 1: still did a few of them, um and ran him
- 3:34Speaker 1: when we needed to and converted a bunch of third
- 3:36Speaker 1: downs down the stretch. And that last drive, and so
- 3:38Speaker 1: you know, I thought we did some some things really
- 3:40Speaker 1: well and obviously there's some things to work on. How
- 3:43Speaker 1: hard is the win? Are you finding it is to
- 3:45Speaker 1: win in the NFL? I mean, you guys run for
- 3:46Speaker 1: two hundred give miss two passes and you have a
- 3:50Speaker 1: ten minute driving the fourth quarter to go my hand,
- 3:53Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard to win. You know, there's these
- 3:56Speaker 1: every team's good. UM, So it's you know, I've known
- 3:59Speaker 1: how hard just to win, especially after last season and
- 4:01Speaker 1: so we had some close games, something that weren't so close,
- 4:04Speaker 1: all those things. It's it's hard to win. You gotta
- 4:05Speaker 1: play well, like you're not gonna you're not gonna look
- 4:08Speaker 1: into any wins in the NFL. You gotta play a
- 4:10Speaker 1: complete game offense, defense, special teams, um. And you can't
- 4:14Speaker 1: let up at all. You know, you can't take a breath.
- 4:16Speaker 1: And I think you know, we're gonna look at some
- 4:18Speaker 1: times in that game where you know, speaking specifically offensively,
- 4:21Speaker 1: where we you know, we had a fourteen to three
- 4:23Speaker 1: and I think that's when we gotta strike and we
- 4:25Speaker 1: gotta we gotta keep going and dominate the game and
- 4:27Speaker 1: really take over. And you know there was there was
- 4:29Speaker 1: a little bit of a lull there. Let him get
- 4:30Speaker 1: back in the game at the end of the second half. UM,
- 4:33Speaker 1: and then we came out the or sorry into the
- 4:35Speaker 1: first half. Then the beginning of the second half we
- 4:37Speaker 1: came out, scored first drive, kind of got back on track.
- 4:40Speaker 1: So there's positives, there's negatives. You you look at all
- 4:43Speaker 1: of it and we'll get better. It's big a part
- 4:47Speaker 1: of this game going into it. I mean, you never know,
- 4:50Speaker 1: you know, you have a game plan and you kind
- 4:51Speaker 1: of prepare for for everything. I know that's that's a
- 4:54Speaker 1: part of my game where honestly haven't had to use
- 4:57Speaker 1: too much this this season, but that's a part of
- 4:59Speaker 1: my game that I'm comfortable with and I know that
- 5:01Speaker 1: can that can help us if needed. So whenever my
- 5:04Speaker 1: numbers called, just doing what I can to help the team.
- 5:06Speaker 1: And UM, today that was you know, that seemed to
- 5:10Speaker 1: be something that was working, especially down there and on
- 5:12Speaker 1: the goal line all those things. So, UM, guys did
- 5:15Speaker 1: a great job up front, you know all that, But
- 5:18Speaker 1: you on top of Marvin, did that affect things what
- 5:22Speaker 1: you were trying to do it all or you know,
- 5:24Speaker 1: our guys did a good job adjusting and you we have.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I talked to the you know, production crew before the
- 5:29Speaker 1: game all the different personnels we have and the plan
- 5:32Speaker 1: to have this guy here on certain plays. And then
- 5:34Speaker 1: when you have two guys, one guy go down, you know,
- 5:37Speaker 1: a day or two before the game. And then um
- 5:39Speaker 1: agg who's a huge playmaker for us, especially in certain situations,
- 5:44Speaker 1: UM goes down in the game, gets a little banged up.
- 5:47Speaker 1: That changes it changes You're not not necessarily your plan,
- 5:49Speaker 1: but then you've got to rearrange all your personnels. And
- 5:51Speaker 1: I thought the guys did a good job of adjusting
- 5:53Speaker 1: to it. And um, you know, obviously it adds. It's
- 5:57Speaker 1: it's an extra challenges. You know, you have guys in
- 6:00Speaker 1: in spots, so you didn't rep and practice. But I
- 6:01Speaker 1: thought the guys did a good job of handling it.
- 6:06Speaker 1: That's it all right, Thank you all. M HM.
