  Speaker 1: I thought we did some really good things, like coach
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Coach said, we did some really good things, but uh,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of things that we could correct.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we left a lot of yards out there.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: And credit to the Texans, they had a they did
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a heck of job keep keep us out of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: end zone. And uh, you know, we just gotta be
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit more detailed in our plans. So have
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you've ever been a part of a game where the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: offense picked up that many yards and scored that few points? Um?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure I have been. Yeah, But I mean,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: like I said, we left a lot of yards out there. Um,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: so we just got execute and be a little bit
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: more detailed than what we do. Yeah, I mean I thought.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I thought those guys behind us are doing a heck
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of a job at you know, whether they're hitting the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: whole hard, you know, bouncing it when they need to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: bounce it. But they've done a heck of job for us,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and it's a lot of fun to to watch them,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you know, burst up the seam or through a hole
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and just do their jobs. So they're doing a great
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: job for us. What are your thoughts on some of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the young offensive limit. I mean, you've got young guys
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: on both sides of you, Juwan and Luke Fortner. I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: mean we asked you want about your leadership in the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: offensive line room. He kind of lit up. Luke's done
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the same thing. What has your role been in those
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: guys development. I'm just trying to do what I know.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I've said this before, like Trent Williams, Corl Steiger, Sean Morgan, Moses,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: all those guys did for me pretty much. If I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: had a question, you know, as a rookie coming in,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you think you're gonna get you know, get
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: not haze, but you know you have little room to talk,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I just told Luke,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you know, if you have a question, ask it. You
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, ask it. Don't be afraid to ask.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: There's no stupid question because we all have to be
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: on the same page in order for us to collectively
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: do our job for everybody behind us. So, um, I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: just told I mean, he he's gonna be a heck
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of a player and it's fun to watch him continue
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to grow each game. Has he taken advantage of that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and just throwing questions at you left and right. No,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I mean he's he's he's a really smart, uh football player. Um,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: he's a lot. I mean he is really smart. So uh, um,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he's done a great job and we're just happy that
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he's he's there for us. What's really your message as
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a leader after you know, a game like Guess round, Uh,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just continue to stick with the plan. Um. You know
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: we've we've been in every game that we've lost, so
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you know, just go back and look at the film,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: which we did and just h you know, don't get down.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: We have what do we have? Eleven more games? So
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: just uh, twelve more games, right, twelve more games? Yeah,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: so just continue to stick with the plan and uh,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you know, don't just I mean it's all about just
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: sticking together. So that's that's what it is, and uh
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. How can a young team
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: learn to win those close games? I mean the games
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you guys have lost, of all of them by one score?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: What is it about those games? I mean, how tough
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is it for young players to learn to kind of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: close the door in those kind of games? Yeah? And
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Coach Peterson always talks about you know, it's uh, the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: game is won and lost within a couple of plays.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So you know, we were in the red zone a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: couple of times and we came out with a couple
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of field goals. So we have to as an offense,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: put put seven on the board instead of three on
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the board for the defense. The defense at a heck
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of a job for us. You know, if you hold
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a team to thirteen points, you would hope that you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: could come out and win that game. So we had
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to but you know, the Texans at the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: heck of a job. Frustration level pretty we consider outloading
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: guys played honestly, uh any and the charters and then
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to come back and last week was honestly because of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the weather, it was a big factor. But just not
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: get it done. Yeah, you know, it's it's frustrating because
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: like I said, you know, you watch back on film
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and you left the cup. You left quite a few
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: yards out there. Um, and it's just like I said,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the Texans out you know, they they wanted in the end.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It's all about who has the most points at the end,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and they did a heck of a job. So you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: know it's frustrating, yes, but you know we can move
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: on from this. And grow and learn. You got a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: game against the Colts coming up this week. You blanked
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: them last time you played them. You know they're gonna
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: be amped up to see you guys again. How do
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you get ready for a game when you know the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: team's coming in and one to kind of get some revenge.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's about watching film on what we did well last
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: last I mean the last time we played them, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what we didn't do so well last time we played them.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So it's all about watching that film, moving on and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: um and growing from that game, because there's we we
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: left a lot of yards out there last game too,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So just doing our job and not trying to do,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know, do too much. Just focus on what you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: can do and can control you can control see the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: second time so quickly? Aren't playing for minds? Right kind
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of thing to me? Personally? I don't. I don't think
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: there's any benefits. I mean, I don't know if I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, we played I don't know if this might
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: be the quickest turnaround for a team that I've played before.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what's the response like from the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: locker room right now. I mean, after that first game,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: guys were like, man, we knew we should have won
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that one. How's the team dealing with this right now? Uh?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, you could tell everybody was a little frustrated
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: because I thought, you know, we played a heck of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a game, except for we just got to focus on
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the details, and then going back and watching film just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: frustrate you a little bit more. So, Um, We're we're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: all in good. I mean, obviously as good as spirits
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: as you can be. But Coach Peterson talked about fleshing
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it and moving on. We don't want one game to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: carry over the two games. It's good to see guys
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that they're frustrated that they lost instead of just kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of accepting it and moving on or absolutely. You know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: everybody's got that that want to you know, that want
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to win and that want to get better. So I'm
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: excited to see everybody respond on Wednesday, and we're gonna
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: have a good day of practice. Some of the guys
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that have been around here have talked about how the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: teams in the past have dealt with losses, and you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: they quickly let the here we go again mentality kind
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of set in. How do you, as one of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: leaders on this team trying to make sure that that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't set in around here. Just continue to you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: just tell the guys that it's not going to happen
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: here with the leaders that we have here. Um, I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: think we've got some great leaders here and we're not
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: gonna let that happen, all right, you bet, Thank you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: much
