  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the that's the head scratcher. That's the frustrating part. Again,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it just you know, we we we can't we can't
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: get out of our way. That's the frustrating part. Because
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we do some really good things and then and then
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: it's a player too here and there that that keep
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: us from from scoring, Doug. When you keep saying week
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: after week, the team's shooting itself in the foot and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it's things that the team can control that are controllable mistakes,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: how frustrating is that. It's extremely frustrating because again it's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's the pride of the pride of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the team, right, it's here the individual efforts and there's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: some there's great effort out there. It's just that you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we've got to be just ultra you know, focused on
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: on doing our jobs right and doing doing their jobs
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and and you know, the number one prize possession on
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the field is the foot ball and we got to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we got to do a better job of protecting it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Doug, if you could just walk us through the final
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: thirty seconds of the first half, the decision to obviously
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the completion is a and the decision to immediately you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: not spike the ball and throw it to Parker.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: We're going to stay aggressive, We're going to you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we've scored before in those situations we had. Uh, it
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: was just a mistake I think by you know, by
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Trevor obviously knowing the situation, know how much time is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: left right there, and and you know, that's the one
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that's that's a great learning experience for us from the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: standpoint of, you know, don't throw it in bounds to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: be tackled in that situation. And you know, so we'll
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: learn from that one. But you know, uh, just another
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: great opportunity for us to to try to get in
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the end zone.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: To be clear, though the plan he was not going
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to spike it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It was to he was not going to spike it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Defense, how did you feel like like like it played
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: the communication wise? That was an issue in the last
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I thought the defense really really came to play, you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: kind of kind of kept kept them down. It did
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: some good things in the first half. Obviously the third
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I think it was the third quarter. You know, Baltimore
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: did the Baltimore things right. They they began running the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: football and and those were the things that kind of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you know, started to show up in the third quarter,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and they they rattled off a couple of big runs.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: But I thought for the most part, defense kept us,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: kept us in the game, kept us close, and you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: did some did some good things for us.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Not to belabor the point, but should Trevor be beyond
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: making that kind of mistake right there at the end
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: of the first half and throwing it in bounds at
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: this point year three.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You know can put it on us too. You know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of course put it on us as coaches. You know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: coach that situation a little bit better.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: When you saw the past get completely did you initially
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: think of your mind, Spike, or did you usually picking
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: your mind to go?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: But just make sure you well, initially I was hoping,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you know, when you're anticipating that we'd get out of bounce,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you know, in that situation right there, you get get
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to the sideline or you score. You know, we we
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: did out average of defense. They made a nice play
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: tackle have been bounds. But you know when the when
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the pass was completed, I thought we had a good
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: chance to get into the front Pilo.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: They ended up running for about two hundred and fifty yards.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: You guys were about seventy five yards on the ground.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Are you concerned at this stage with the physicality of
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: the team in terms of running the ball defending the run?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's. I mean, when you say physicality,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: what do you mean, Well, it seems like you guys
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: are losing. Yeah, I mean it's you get beat, you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: get you get edged. I mean, those are things that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that you know are gonna happen. But we got to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: continue to just just grind away and just just figure
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: out how to win a football game. Whether we're running it,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: throwing it, kicking it, it doesn't matter. You know. Right now,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: we're just not good enough to to pull these games
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: out against good football teams. And that's the honest truth.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And you know, until we figure that out, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be rough, you know. And
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and so it's just a matter of you know, continuing
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to to work and and you know, taking taking your
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: taking your job serious and and uh getting ready for
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: another one next week, uh, Doug.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: In baseball, there's a there's a state or a thing
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: that says, you know, you're squeezing the bat too hard,
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: trying too hard to impress it. Do you sense that
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: with this group, and how are they trying, you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: reacting with all this adversity.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: At this point, I don't I don't see as pressing,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you know. I just think that it's it's a matter
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of just we just have to understand that the number
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: one thing out there is the football. You know, we're
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: pre singap penalties in the football and and you know
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that's that's the one thing that's kind of plagued us
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: all season. We're just we're just giving points away, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and it's hard, we're making it too hard.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: On the subject of running the ball, it seemed like
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you guys established Travis on the first few drives got
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: the earnest involved, tank evolved and then he kind of
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: went away from it. Did you go away from it
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: because of it? Wasn't effect of it?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: No, I think I think too it was dependent you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: on what they were giving us defensively, with with going
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: in and out of their base defense nickel defense, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of some opportunities and putting the ball in
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the air. And and you know, obviously we did some
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: we did some good things, you know, throwing the ball,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: but you know, then you then you fall behind and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you have to put the ball in the air.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: More Doug, how significant is Zay the hamstring? Do you know?
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: And also it was Trevor okay, and the last driver
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: or too looked like he was shaking his arm a
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: few times.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Zay, Yeah, hamstring. You know, I don't know the severity
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of it, but it looked it looked bad, you know,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: on the field. And so we'll have he'll he'll be
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: evaluated tonight and then tomorrow, so I'll probably have a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: better update for you. And then in Trevor's case, you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: he was evaluated after after the game and he'll actually
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: enter the protocol. Hey, coach, what's your confidence level in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Brandon McManus right now? It's still high. I'm still you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: he's a veteran kicker. He knows that, you know. These
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks haven't been his best, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and he had opportunities tonight to you know, score some
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: points for us and keep us close and and I know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I know he takes a lot of pride in that,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and he'll work on it this week and and be
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: better for it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: Just a clarification, do you say concussion protocol for Trevor, Yes,
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: did that happen on the on the run play?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Do you know or no? I I think so. I'm
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: not one hundred percent, but I think so.
