• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yep, sure did. It was everything we said we we
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: didn't want to do did occur. And so it starts
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: with me, gotta figure it out, Gotta long flight home
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and some days off to do that. Interesting. Yeah, when
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: precisely when I talked about what it took to win
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: this game and did a whole film, you know, my
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: my meeting yesterday, it was everything about staying on schedule,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: being able to get multiple runs off back to back
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: so that we can run it, run it, stay on schedule,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: stay balanced, and we didn't do any of that. Again, Yeah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it's it's definitely frustrating. But you you're just like everybody
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: else in there. In there, you know, you got to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: look inward first, like what am I doing as the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: head football coach? That's not clear right now? How am
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I communicating these things? How am I and how are
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: we practicing these things? That's what I've got to look at,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: right I mean, I've got to look at the whole
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: thing ultimately, But not going to stand up here and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: blame these players. It starts with me. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I definitely think that some of the over maybe physically,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: some of those things have hurt us, like being over
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: aggressive and being amped up in the last couple of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: weeks has actually been a negative in some ways in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: terms of the penalties and some of the mistakes we've made.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I definitely you wouldn't have guessed that we
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: were here for a week prepare heard ready to go
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: play in this atmosphere by looking at it. In terms
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of the way we started the game, I'm very proud
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of our defense, specifically in the second half of the game,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: like played their tails off. Obviously had a couple of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: moments where you know, we get the one obviously thrown
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: over our heads again in a short yard of situation,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: but they gave us some stops and some opportunities in
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the second half, and we drove it and did some
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: things with it. It's just ultimately didn't execute once we
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: crossed the fifty typically we weren't being able to execute.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely frustrating. Yeah, yeah, it's you know, you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: feel for the guy in terms of wanting to put
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: him in a position and be successful. You know, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: thought about that decision a little bit because it was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: twenty one nothing at that point. You know, you just
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: kind of wanted to get some points on the board
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to see a little positivity when you looked up at
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the scoreboard and we ended up missing it. So I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: just got to go talk to him before I comment
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, yeah, we got we've we've obviously need
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to make sure that we're in a position, you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: with our hands, with our violent to the talk, with
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the way we're looking the ball in, you know, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: also ball plays, making sure the ball is in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: right spots and not you know, all that stuff. I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: think there's a combination of things. You know. Still, we
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: got to keep throwing it though, I mean, we can't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: go running it and running it, running it, So that's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: just the way it goes. Yeah, early on it was hard,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: hard to get anybody into a rhythm offensively, and then
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know, in the second half there there definitely was
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a plan going into the game that we wanted to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: utilize him more on the offensive side of the ball,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: specifically trying to get the ball into his hands. And then,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you know, the first half was just kind of funky
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the way we couldn't get anybody the ball consistently and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: get into a rhythm. And then he was able to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: make some plays in the second half. Trevor was able
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to find him on some things that were obviously designed
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to go to him in some ways. So happy that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: he got his first touchdown. Tough to see it come
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in that moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it definitely kills
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: it for sure. Got to go watch the tape and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: see how he how we can coach our guy jarring
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: differently on the punt return, how we can coach them
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: differently to communicate how to play that play differently in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: order to not have a penalty there, you know. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: then we had the punt return where they obviously we
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: go you know, they knock into them or whatever it was,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and nothing ended up occurring. So it's just we're trying
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to coach them and communicate that
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: stuff to our players. But clearly we've got to be
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: more disciplined. Yeah, I mean that'll start on the flight home,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you know, that opportunity to wash the tape, flush the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: feeling in some ways, which won't go away for a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: little while, I'm sure, especially on a buy here. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we've got to look at the self scout in all
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: three phases. We've got to look at personnel in all
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: three phases, how we're utilizing it, how we aren't utilizing
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it and where do we need to use guys more,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: use guys less. It's all gonna get evaluated. Yeah, I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: think just the like you're saying, the opportunity to see
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the world throughout the game of football. Obviously, it's frustrating
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to lose a game, right, that's the result that we're
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: not hunting up. But I think it's still pretty cool
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: experience to be able to have the opportunity to to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this game of football has maybe brought some of these
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: guys some opportunities that maybe they wouldn't have ever had.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You know, I definitely hadn't traveled much as personally in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: my life, and football has definitely given me the opportunities
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to do so. You know, I think making sure, you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the relationships, not the relationshipiece, but the communication overall. Just
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in making sure you're you're present in communicating with not
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just the offense, but the defense, the special teams, the players,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the coaches, the staff, making sure that the standard is
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: continuously being communicated at a high level, and that those
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: standards are being upheld every single day in terms of
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the details, the fundamentals, the schedule, all that stuff that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: goes into it. You know, used to live in a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: little bubble on one side of the ball, and now
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that is definitely expanded. Yeah, we tried playing a little
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: bit more man, and it seemed like when we did that,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: we were getting a penalty called on us some way,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: shape or form. So we were trying to find the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: balance between going zone and man, the balance between sending
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: pressures and playing with four mayre rush. So that's a balance.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: When you play a guy like Matthew, you have to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: mix up the looks, give him different looks pre snap
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and post snap, and Matthew was on one today. Thanks
