  Speaker 1: credit them, I mean they're their Their game plan today

  Speaker 1: obviously was you know, not to huddle as much and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and try to play a little tempo and get the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: ball out quickly and you know, try to eliminate you know,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: some of your past rush that way. And you know
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: they did, they did a good job with that. Um.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You know, our guys battled for for sixty minutes, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you know, we we just gotta we gotta find a time,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a place, you know, a play somewhere that you know
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we can we can win these games. And you know
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it's obviously an opportunity to do that and and um,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know our guys will be better. You know, we'll
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: be better for it. Um as we go. UM, and great,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: great opportunities to teach. You guys. Had some penalties on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: third downs and extended drives. And I think we're rep
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the past or a couple of past interfearance penal
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: easy how again you you you know, self inflicted And
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I think I think there were six for six on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: third down there in the second half, I believe, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you know, whether by penalty or by by catch. Um,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we've we just kind of evaluate the tape, you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and and see if if as coaches were doing the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: right thing. And you know, I'll be hard and critical
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: on ourselves and and um, you know, trying to put
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: our players in position. But you know, at the same time,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you know, we understand that those mistakes can you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: extend drives. He went, we got you to go ahead,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: cutch it. Yeah, I thought, you know, I thought that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: was that was you know, not only by him, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I think the offense. Um, you know, it was it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: was really good to see that for for us to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: go down and get that get that touchdown and um,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you know, the go ahead score there and and you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: put a lot on trail and he did a nice job.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: He made some you know, made some big throws and um,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you know, just good to see, Um something we can
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: learn from with him and keep building and and um,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, just continue to continue to work at it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But but that was that was good to see. Outside
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of that last drive, did you like his decision making
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: all the Yeah, yeah, for the most part, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: he didn't did some really nice things and um, there
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: were some quick sacks on him. You know, we we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: got edge a little bit. There were some quick you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: quick sacks that uh they got us on some first downs,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: put in some second long situations. But you know some
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: some of those we were able to overcome. Um. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but you know we didn't just didn't do enough. You
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: know there's more out there that we can we can
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: get and you know we we just gotta find a
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: way to do that. Don't trying to figure out who
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you guys are. Last week, keep open down the field.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You can't get enough points. Defense play as well, get
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: one seven to get the big drives went two. But
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's Trevor, it's run for two. I can't
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: get it. On the other side, is that just the NFL?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's it's I think it's both. I think you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we we keep talking about it's it's about us and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: focusing on on our jobs and what we we do,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know, players and coaches and you know, we're all
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in this thing together. We're gonna learn from it. We're
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna you know, fix it. But um, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this this team. One thing I like about this team
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is is you know, there's there's no quit in these guys,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you know, they battle for sixty minutes. They don't they
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: don't shut it down at all. You know, they play hard,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to play fast. And um, you know, like I told
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: him after the game, you know, we're gonna we're gonna
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: end up you know whenever that is, whether it's through
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: time or what. But we're gonna we're gonna come out
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: ahead on on on most of these. You know, as
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: we go back to back big weeks for Travis, can
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you talk about his growth and and you know even
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: bigger roles we're gonna going forward. Al Travis, Um, you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: did a did a the nice job for us, you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: know today, Um, some some nice explosive runs you know
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in their offensive line did a nice job. Um. You know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he's getting he's getting better, he's getting better within the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: offense and and what we're asking him to do. And
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and uh I thought James Stephen had some some good
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: runs in there, and we get we get you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Jamaicael going and um I thought overall, you know, offensive
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: line opened up some some the receivers blocked you know, uh,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: safeties linebackers from time to time, which is was just
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: asked of them. Just the run game was good, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and UM, we've just we just gotta find a way
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to finish definitly crossing routes and gets a lot of
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: man to man coverage. How much do you anticipate that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you're going to seeing a bit more of that going
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: forward until you prove you can slow it down. I mean,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that's that's one thing about this league is until until
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you stop something, you know you're gonna continue to see it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: We've we've got to evaluate the tape obviously, making sure
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: we're doing the right things. Is you know, as coaches
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to to put our players in position to um, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: win those battles. Um. But yeah, it's something we'll look at.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You know. Um, tonight on the way home the option
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: on fourth down? Was that something else put in? Or
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: what did you see? The thought that we've had you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: we've had that play in, UM, and we were listening,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we were we were rolling at that time, and and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: felt comfortable and confident you know that we're gonna pick
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that up and and UM, you know, credit credit them,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you know they did a nice job of stopping that one.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And UM, you know, just something we gotta evaluate and UM,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you know, look at the decision. Look at the play,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: look at all of it as we go go forward,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: then to go over the top, because one of the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: things that Shack said is that he had been playing
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it's you know, kind of guarding the inside most of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the time. But there was also you know, there was
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of dpies on both sides, but we were
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you expecting them to go over the top like that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: They really needed six or seven yards to make it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It's closer for the kicker, you know, I think I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: think you know, in that situation, they were already in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: field goal range, you know, for that kicker, and you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it's just an opportunity there for them to you know,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: whether they obviously completed for the score or they get
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the d p I, you know, whatever it might be.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It's a the risk reward. Their kind of favors offense,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you know, and in situations like that, um, because you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: know that with the time and on fourth down, they
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to kick the field goal, so UM
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: kind of expect it in those situations, and UM, you know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just credit them. They made the play. You said it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was a piste off team in the locker room. What
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: do you get a sense to these guys this week
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit of demoralized or no, I mean, yeah,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they're hurting obviously. Um they battled, you know, but again
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it's a it's an opportunity to get better this week,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and um learn from the film, you know, coaches and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: players and um, just just get back to work. You know.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna you know, as we say, feel sorry for us,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and um, we just have to We just
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: have to keep grinding and keep going. All right, Thanks, Joy,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Let's try to coming into the way yours of the
