  Speaker 1: Well, that was the heck of football game tonight. It's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: a hard game for anybody to lose. H I love
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the way our guys played, played hard, tough and creative
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and executed and battled the whole time. It was a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: fantastic effort. And they give them credit too. They were
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: playing hard too, totally played for the moment and did
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it and we're there and had great leadership from our
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: older guys.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: We had good play from the young guys.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Too, And it's unfortunate that the game is. You know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it feels like there was a whole nother factor in
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: You guys saw a lot better than I did, but
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: there's just way too many penalties in this game, and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we got that for both sides. We got to get
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: out of that that kind of football.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I thought. So many guys came.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Through and made big plays and tough plays and and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: showed great heart and great resolve to hang in there.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: We had to score three times in one sequence from
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the inside of ten yard line. We had to stop
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: them inside the you know, inside the fifteen yard line
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a couple different times and got that done, knocked him
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: back out of touchdown range.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: So many good sudden changed kind of situations.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I'm proud to tell these guys and the way we
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: fought and unfortunately, you know, there might be five plays
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in this game that could could change the whole game,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and uh it's just unfortunately the way it turned out.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So uh, I thought Gino did.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: A great job ought our guys up front.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: The drive before half was was just a stellar drive
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for our guys, and it was I went right to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the guys about protection to give him a chance to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: throw the balls that he had to throw. Guys made
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the catches, of course, but I thought the guys up
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: front did a great job. It gainst a really good
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: pass rush team and uh uh and whatever our guests
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: up front on the other side too. I think we
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: got to him four times, you know him and sacked
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in a month and uh uh, so our guys were
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: harassing them and gave us a chance and kept us
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in the ball game. A couple of guys got banged up.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks got an ankle and uh act banged his
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: knee on on the turf. And it doesn't look like
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a knee injury. It looks like a bruised knee.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Kind of thing.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So but both those guys got got where they couldn't
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: get back in the game.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Helped, you know, it was all part of it. I thought.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I thought the rhythms we were, we varied it throughout
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and and frustrated their rush at times and didn't you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: know where they have been having a lot of success.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Guys made the plays, made the catches, and I think
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it was just a really good combination of stuff.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: We finally put together a really good third down.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Night on offense, and uh it was against a really
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: good third down team, you know, the one of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I think third in the league in third down defense,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and we uh, you felt that you could see us
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: move the football and we made the plays and made
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the throws and the catches and protections and all that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to get that done. That that's where we're trying to go,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: frading the.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Offense in the light. How much you have them able
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to look just back out there.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: How is you know, I can't tell you anything about
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: how he played or nothing, but it was just good
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to have him. Sure he contributed to that because we
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I find myself right here really praising their
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: effort all night long.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And he was part of it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Even though the result didn't go the way you want
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for the offense to come back with that performance after
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the last two games, just how big? Absolutely go, yeah, absolutely,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that's that's us right there. And I thought, Zach, you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: pounded the football and kept it going. We didn't run
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the balls walls we wanted to, but but we ran
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the ball enough so that we could do run our
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: offense and we converted on third down so that we
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: were still out there, and we got to use our
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: playpass game, which is one of the best things we do.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And Gino did a great job with all of that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Magnificent catches too throughout the night that kept us going.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Noah's catch was crazy, and a bunch of them. We're
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: really one catch away from really making this thingle our way.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: What happened on the delay before the field goal?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Trying to get glad you asked me that, Okay, what
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: happened on that play is the officials moved the football
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: from the middle to the hash and they're supposed to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: reset the clock and he didn't do it, and so
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we're grapping about that and they just time time got
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it got me.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I screwed it up.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I should have called time out, but I was grousing
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: about the fact that they should have st I was
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: still trying to get him to stop them, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and the gain in the sidelines that we could get
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it done.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So, I don't know, that was just a.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That's an error the way I saw it, that's an error,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: uh on their apart.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And that's too bad. You're yelling for time out?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Do they are they all gave to give achieves out
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a firmly? Do they want to do that?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Yep? Defensively.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I was calling time up before the before the right
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know I was calling it, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the whole thing got screwed up, you know, and.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And it was uh unfortunately poorly done.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: What how can you coach past defenders in the league
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: today where receivers just a train to run act defender back.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I had a conversation with with their guys you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: tonight about that that I just don't see the way
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: this is going, and it's going in the right direction. Yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I mean we're all waiting to see is there is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it a call?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I mean that's all waiting for this.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: See did the official make a call here? Oh he
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: didn't call it? Oh he did call it, and Uh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: there's there's there's latitude that we need to give.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: These guys.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They know the game, they know how to make these calls,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: but they don't have They can't call everything that when
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: there's a little this is into that, and particularly when
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it doesn't affect the play.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: So and I'll be I'll spend some time on this
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: now season for sure. I'm not saying all the answers either.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that at all.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think the game needs to be
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: adjusted here somewhat because there's too much emphasis on on
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: those those situations. Is that a pretty good year for
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys and to get a pick, But you guys
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: had a couple of big plays against me. I thought,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I thought we played very well against him. We didn't
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: want to throw the ball to him that that one time,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and you shouldn't should have done it. That's our mistake.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He's having an incredible year. Total hass off to the dude.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: He's a he's a terrific football player. Deserves all the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: credit that he's getting. It's really hard to do what
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: he's doing. I have great respect for that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: DK had sort for that very first catch and re touchdowns.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, he had a huge game. I thought he looked
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: great and and uh dominant. You know, I love the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: way he played tonight. Thought Jackson played really well tonight too.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I thought he was really a a big factor for
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: us a locket. You know, we missed time that one
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: catch down the middle just about God, he's killing himself
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: over but it was, you know, we just didn't quite
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: hit it right. And uh, you know we make a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: big player right there for sure. The fourth down pass
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to to Jackson, I think the second of the fourth
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: downs there was went went over his head?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Was that? I mean, was there already missed timing on
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that one?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Or it was a pressure situation, you know that that
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: made him have to get the ball out and uh
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's unfortunate, Yeah, are out.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: But overall he compared the last week to this. I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: know it's a bottom line business.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Well can you build on this especially offensive places?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: No doubt, great, there's no doubt. I mean it was
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the perf.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: The performance last week was something that I I I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: can't even explain to you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I can tell you what it happened, but that wh
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I can't explain why that happened.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: But uh, for our guys to bounce back and play
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: against a great football team at home.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: They got this big one streak and all that, and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: they're legit as can be right, you know, right down
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to the end. There's there's no there's no concession to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: lose them.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But we will definitely build on this because the execution
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to come through, and the toughness and the physicality of it,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: uh and because the respect we have for them, all
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of those things are things of course we can build on.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: There's all kinds of stuff that's gonna happen. This season
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: is nowhere anywhere we're told, the story is not told.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: What's gonna happen.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: We got great chances again in the next couple of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: weeks against teams that are that are worthy of being
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: on the top of this thing at the end, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: when we're gonna show that we're worthy of being right
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: there with.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Them to get them knock a couple of months and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: do something right with this thing.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Make you for your place, struggin help
