  Speaker 1: What struggles in the red zones shoes today. It comes
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: down to.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: You know, awareness, comes down to just execution on the field,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: comes down to you know, coaching. There's a lot of
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: things I think we can maybe point a finger at,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: but uh, it's definitely an area that needs to uh
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: needs to improve.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Half the.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's just it just the situation or
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the situation awareness. I mean it just the clock was
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: running down, and you know, we just it it can't happen.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It if it, it just can't happen. And so had
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to take the two timeouts.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Doug, What happened on the safety? Was it a protection issue?
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Were there bad routes run the Should Trevor have gotten
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: rid of it? What was kind of your thought process.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: On on the It's uh, you know, we knew what
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: we had to do. We had to go you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: ninety eight yards obviously, and and just we had a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: we had we had you know, a chance to push
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the ball down the field at that time, and you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and it just felt like the pocket collapse a little
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: bit on his on his left side, and and just
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: nowhere to go with the ball. So we just gotta
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you know, I just gotta clean that stuff.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Up, Doug. I think at halftime you said to the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: TV or radio that the nonsense has to stop. Can
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: you kind of explain what you were talking about there?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Just execution, Doug.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Is the offensive line good enough to execute the way
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: you guys want to or need to?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I feel they are. Yes, Doug. Over here, I see
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a gene.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Could you just talk a little bit about it? But
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it was if you would call
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: it lack of energy, lack of rhythm, But how do
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: you how do you explain that that first half because
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: it just seemed like both sides of the ball just
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: couldn't get anything going.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something something we need to we need to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: look into and and find out why. You know, it
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: just it's it's really you know, we we we're in.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We're in.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: We have an opportunity to play a football game. We're
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: blessed to coach and play and you should be excited about,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you know, stepping on the field and giving everything you have, and.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know it's a tough sport, and.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I just it's something I gotta try to figure out
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: what the guys and and see see what's going on.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: Doug out how stunned. Are you at just the lack
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: of offensive execution the last quarters.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it's not who we are, you know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I mean these guys, coaches, players that worked too hard
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: during the week and listen, you know that's a good
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that's a good defense. It's a really good defense, probably
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: one of the best in the league. And if there
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: was a measuring stick, then then we didn't. We didn't
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: measure up very well today and something we got to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: look at.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: And.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: There's too much. There's too much talent, I think.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's just there's signs of it, but just
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: not not consistent enough.
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: I think you had twenty two plays for seventy four
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: yards with about two minutes to go in the third.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: What changed where you did start to get some things going?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess, you know, we went a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: little up tempo and you know, just I think just
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the tempo really just executed, you know, executed.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: With with our backs against the wall.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Dog it looked like you took exception to the two
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: uh roughing the passer penalties on your defense early and
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: then there was a looked like there might have been
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: a no call on Trevor late anything you got from
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: the officials talking to them, going back and forth about how,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: you know, maybe the tikie techniques of those calls.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Doug in terms third down was an issue last week
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: and the loss to Miami today three and nine. Anything
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: you can put your finger on as to why execution
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: isn't better on third down.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, we just definitely got to look at the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: film and see why. But you know, third down is
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: an important down and we know, we know they got
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: some great pass rushers over there, and.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: We just didn't do our part.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And you know, maybe maybe it's on us as coaches,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: we and we didn't help our guys out enough. But
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: well that we just got to look at the tape
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and figure out why.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: And then what happened with Evan And then how much
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: of a hole does that put you in when you
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: lose your tight end an hour before the game.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was unfortunate.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: It was during his warm up, you know, prior to pregame,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and it was you know, right at the right at
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the time when we put our inactives in. So we
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: just we didn't have an opportunity to make a make
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a change. But you know, it's it's no different if
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: he goes down play one. You know, so we still
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: have to we still have to go out and play.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Like it seems like you're just at a loss to
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: kind of figure out why this team is performing at
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the level it is. Is that correct? And and what's
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: next to try?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm at a loss because we've been together for
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a while now, right, and uh, we shouldn't be we
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be playing the way we're playing.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't be coaching the way we're coaching.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: So I take accountability, you know there, and it starts
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: with me, so and then and then it goes to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you know, then it goes to the assistant coaches and players.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: But I just know that we're just we're We're a
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: better football team than what we played today.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: Dug along those lines, I know you put a lot
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: of work in to lead up to this point through
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: camp and everything, but uh, do you have to avoid
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: getting hitting the panic button early and and and do
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: you do anything to kind of jump start these guys
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: that locker room?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I think you don't hit the panic button.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: It's a long season ahead, but we got to figure
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: some things out in a hurry. You know, We've got
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to we've got to coach some things and and do
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: some things. Each each person has to look at themselves
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in the mirror, you know, me included.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And and you know, just we've got to do better.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, it's disappointing. It's disappointing cause there's there's
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: glimpses of of greatness out there, but but it's not
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: consistent enough.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: Anybody else your coach, last one here, one of those,
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: one of those glimpses of was Brian Thomas Jr. How
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: do you feel if he's adjusted to the pro game
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: in so far in two regular season games.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I think he's done a nice job.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Mad made a couple of big plays the last two games,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and and uh it's helped us, you know, helped us
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: score some points. So uh, it's good to see him
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: coming along and and doing the things that you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: we've asked of him, and and you just see his
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: his ability to make plays down the field.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Doug. One last thing, could you just talk about the
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: frustration of losing the time outs in the first half.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Two of 'em were to avoid delay of game penalties,
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: and I forget what the what the uh uh first
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: one was, but uh, how tough is that, you know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: cause you you want, you wanna hold 'em in your pocket,
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: to hold him, to give yourself time in that last
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: drive and it just didn't happen.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough, Yeah, all right,
