  Speaker 1: Um, you know I think that Uh, you know, we
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we've got as a staff, we've got to figure out
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a way to kind of get him settled into the game.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Number one. Um. And then and then obviously you know, um,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Trevor has to you know, obviously, you know, make sure
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that he's in a good spot. And you know, he
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: thinks he sees everything, you know, he sees the field. Well, uh,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we just got to continue to you know, we gotta
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: continue to keep throwing, you know, and keep putting them
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in situations like that, and he's gonna get better. He
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: will get better. That's I'm not worried about that at all.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of a lot of faith and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: trust in him and he can. He can definitely, you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: do the job. We've seen it, you know, this season.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So we just, um, we just gotta keep working on. Um. Well,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I think he would tell you and I'm gonna tell you,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you just can't do that, you know that deep in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the red zone like that, and um, now it was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: just unfortunate, you know, turnover right there. Just can't do
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it when you you know, when you're you're about to score,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: we're just trading on walkers. Uh, wrote down their rank
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in terms of even all of the bad of the stakes.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: You see, you guys do again, you know, it's just
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that those are unacceptable. Um. You know, players that come
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: up and and I keep telling the guys that you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a game usually comes down to three to five plays,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and and you just never know which ones are are
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: going to be those plays. And you know, Trevor's Trevor's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: interception late, that penalty, you know, late in a game
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: like that, I mean, those are those are those are
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: hard to overcome, you know, and and um, just again
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: they're they're all valuable lessons for us as a staff
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to to to you know, teach and correct and and um,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you know, um a lot like the week before Tyson,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you know, running into the kicker and Philly and just
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: those are all moments where you know, we can't we
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: can't take things, you know upon ourselves. We just you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we just gotta go do our jobs, apologize, and the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: locker room to the game. UM have it. I don't know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you have a good game. Happened last week? What you're
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: going to get out of I do? I do? I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: really do? UM? I feel comfortable and confident. You know
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: he's had he always has a good week of preparation,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you know, and and he's always in a good spot
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and and um, you know, so I do feel I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: feel good, you know when we go out there and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: way we start the game and the openers and um,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you know, and and just again it's just you know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: how we start, um, and that's all. And that's part
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of the quarterback to you know, getting him comfortable and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: settled down into the game to where he can he
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: can get himself into a rhythm. Um. Well, I mean,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you know, this is a this was a you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: if you're looking at the game, this is a you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it's a cover two game today by by Houston. And
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know, they played extremely well. That's a that's a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: staple of Lovey Smith and um, their their defense played
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it extremely well. There are some opportunities, you know, as checkdowns.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, until honestly, until
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I go back and watch this game, it's it's hard
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to it's hard to say, you know, if a couple
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of times we did try to check it down, we
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: dropped him too. So you know, there's some there's some
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: players being left out on the field. We know what
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: type of defensive mind. Love Smith has been in his
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: league for a very long time. What did he possess
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: specifically two guys today that made it so difficult, especially
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in terms of converting one third down and in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: red zone. Yeah, you know, he's uh, you know, he
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: comes from the traditional you know, four three style of defense,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: playing that cover to the old you know Tampa Tampa
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Bay scheme back in the day. And you know he's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: got his guys flying around. That's what you said, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that's what I saw on tape all week is this.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: This is a guy that are a team that plays
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: extremely hard, you know, a lot like our guys. I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: mean they play they play extremely hard. Um, and and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know a style of defense where where those guys
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: are they're executing it well. And and you've got to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: look at their you know, they're they're five games now
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: are there four games leading up to this? I mean
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they were pretty much in every football game, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and and uh with chances to win. So you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: this is a good football team that came in here
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and and um, I still believe we're a good football team.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And um, you know, it just comes down to execution
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and and just understanding you know where where where you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: need to be on on any given play. Because how
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: do you help a young quarterback developed consistency. We've seen
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the highs for two weeks in a row, and now
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you've seen loads for back to that week. How do
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you help Trevor? You keep you keep working, You don't
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: pull back, and you don't add on. You just keep
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: working every single day. That's the only way you get
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: through it. And we've got a lot of confidence in
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: him and trusting him, and and and he's our guy,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna we're gonna keep working through it. We're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: gonna work through it together, and and uh, he'll be better,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: he'll be better down the road for it. It seems
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like Travis was having a pretty good first half, I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: think around six yards. Um, what happened in the second half?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Why wasn't he able to get the ball in his
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: hands a little bit more? And would you have liked
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to see the run more aggressively Revan pattson, Yeah, that's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: on me. Play caller gotta call more place to him.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, well we'll figure that out. How much can
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that take off the pressure in terms of Lawrence? You know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: when he's having that kind of day. How much you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: can having that running game technical pressure off. Sure, I mean,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you run the ball and you can take the pressure
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: off your whole team. Also in reference to the running game, again,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you had some good success with that in the first half,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: especially in that second quarter. Um, what makes you kind
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of go away from that in the second half or
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: was it something that they adjusted to what had happened.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That's on me. You gotta call more runs, Doug. In
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: terms of other than Trayvon Walker Smill, what did you
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: see how your defense? That seem pretty strong effort from
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that group. Yeah, I mean I thought they played well.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Gosh that that that long drive they had. You know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: there's some mistackles on that one. But I thought overall,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I kept us obviously kept us in the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: football game, and um, you know, did some did some
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: nice things, there's some there's some still some things we've
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: got to clean up, you know. Uh. And and these guys,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: these guys battle, they play hard, um, and they're physical.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's a physical group that they cleaned up some of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the mistakes from a week ago. But we still have
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: some work to do and and we gotta get some
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: stuff corrected. Did they do a really good job to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: defind take them away, Christian or was it? Do you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: have reason Christian? Really not until I look at the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: tape to see. But you know, um, other than that,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it's it's hard to tell until we get back to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the you know, looking at it reception right there after.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: How must does that take out of the momentum, tensive
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: or whatever almost in that tank out of the team
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and you feel like you're down there already to take
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the lead and just doesn't have um, you know, I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: mean still there's a lot of football game left, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: so it's it's unfortunate, you know, we we know we
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: can't do that. But uh, you know, there was no waiver.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Our guys were confident, they felt they felt good even
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: going back out on the field. Defense was was you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: know obviously you know, putting it kind of back on
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: them to get a stop and and and but I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: mean it could it could, It could take a little
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: bit out. But for the for the most part, I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: guys did a nice job of staying in there and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: staying together and and and sort of rebounding after that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier. I think there were five last week too.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe is that playing on you know, maybe Tryvor's mind
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit at this point. I don't so, I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, no it. Coach, we talk
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a lot about the confidence in this group early in
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the season. How do you keep the confidence on the team?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I the backpack bone. I mean, you just go back
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to work, you know, and and and you and trust
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: these guys us with a lot and uh, we ask
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of them, you know. Um, and you just
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: keep working, you know, and you keep putting them in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: these situations and and they're gonna they're gonna learn. We're
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: all gonna learn together, and and uh we'll be we'll
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: be stronger and better for it.
