• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty spot on to my feelings after the game.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Just just kind of gave it away. So there's gonna
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: be a lot to learn from week one. It's it's
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: early and got a lot of confidence in the group
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we have. We've got a really good team, but you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we can't give games away, especially against another good team,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: which is.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Gonna be every week. So yeah, definitely disappointing.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And your Rundian zone really seemed like a trend little
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: man on around.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Is there a question with that? Is that is do
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I feel that way?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I turnovers are killers, especially down in
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the red zone, But you know, I thought Travis did
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a good job bouncing back and keeping us head in
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: And stuff like that.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna happen at times, and we preach
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: taking care of the ball and not doing it. But
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I've I've been in that same position, and that's why
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I told Travis I've done it before too.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So no one's pointing the fingers.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We gotta We had still had plenty of time in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the game, and we have to be able to handle
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the adversity and go score the next series. And that's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the only good drive we had the whole half, so
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it's on It's on all of us too.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: When something like that does happen.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: We all got to, you know, gather around and make
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the next play, and we didn't do that. It seems
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: like we couldn't get couldn't get any rythm going the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: second half besides on that drive. So yeah, obviously that's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: going to be the story. And of course that's important.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That's something that you don't want to do and you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: can't do. But we had plenty of opportunities after that,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and we couldn't get anything going. And I took I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: took a bad sack on second down on our last
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: drive that we got that.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Put us in a tough third down.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So I mean, there's there's plays all over the place
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that we got to make and that we can't. It's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: more than mistakes, though, than the than the plays you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: gotta make. It's more of don't beat yourself. And I
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: think you look at the whole game, and that was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: where we struggled. You know, we made a lot of plays,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of great plays, and our defense did a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: good job of holding a really explosive offense, and offensively,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we didn't score any points. In the second half, so
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that something that can't happen if we're gonna win a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: lot of games, which is the plan, So uh, we
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: gotta score more.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Being yourself.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But that's kind of how class you fell apart a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: little bit forwards.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: To get in there.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So do you an thinking, oh gosh, your regard again
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: or we need.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So we get a system.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Not really, you know, it's just kind of the it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it's what happened today, and don't make it more than
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it is. We you know, we we know we have
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to improve and get better. The reality is, though it's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it's week one, we're rowing one, not the start we wanted.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But even if we want to know, we still have
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: sixteen more games that we gotta do something with. So
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the mindset doesn't change for us obviously that you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: there's some sense of urgency of we gotta clean some
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: stuff up. It was pretty sloppy at times. Uh. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: thought in the first half we played really well, complimentary
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: move the ball, even after a rough start on that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: first drive. Offensively, you know, we settled in. But you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason that there's a disconnect in the second
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: half and we didn't seem to be able to get
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: things going. We were behind the chains and they kind
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of took back the momentum. So we got to be
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: able to play with the ebbs and flows and make
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: those plays when we need them. And I take that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on myself too, you know, I gotta make some I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: gotta make a play in that last drive that we
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: ended up having, because you're sitting there and you don't
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: get the ball back and you feel like you blew
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: your shot. So for me, you know, I'm frustrated with
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that as well. From your vantage point with what sort
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of went wrong in the second half, you kind of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: touched on some things, But what did you see out there?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: What happened on the offense?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just some some untimely airs, you know, a couple
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: early on the first couple drives. We I don't know
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: if we had two or three three and outs, but
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we started off really slow and just getting behind the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: chains early.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Whether it was a penalty or a.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Stuffed run or an incompletion on first down, they were
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: all kind of something different, but just didn't seem to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: get the drives going. And then in those second and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: longs we didn't get anything positive in those either. So
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: then you're in third and long, and that's gonna happen occasionally,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and you got to convert, but you can rely on
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: doing that time and time again. Defenses in this league
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: are too good and you got to stay ahead of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the chains, and we didn't do that early.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: And then we put a good drive together.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It seemed like we were rolling great tempo, and then
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: same thing, you know, we had the turnover, and then
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: after that it went right back to just kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you know, stagnant. Weren't able to move the ball, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we got to be able to put drives together consistently
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: like we did in the first half. So we'll have
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to look at it and see exactly what it was.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You don't have all the answers right now, but I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: definitely know that we had our opportunities and we really
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: just didn't take advantage of them. What do you think
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: brilliant and you need to play two plays the PI
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and also the touchdowns p I. You know, I was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I was pissed because I missed the throw left a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: little short and he did a great job and safety
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: ended up jumping down and took Christian away, so we
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: had the shot over the top. So he did a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: great job. One of the line of scrimmage. I think
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it was pressed too with Jalen. So he did a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: great job winning and i'd just hun it through it
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Fortunately we got the p I. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: he did a good job going and winning. And then
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the one on the end zone just that's just us
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and trusting it and me trusting he's gonna get there,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and him trusting I'm gonna put it in the right spot,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and you see him made a great play.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So it was awesome. Sorry four this was Was there
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: any audible with the line discrivilege on that or was
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that an intentional call to abut to try his way?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: That was a call obviously, I wantn't to go there.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Then back across you know, he he's doing he's playing
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: ball and trying to make a play and they they,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, they did a good job and I'd have
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to watch it, you know, I don't know exactly what happened,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: but it seemed like Jalen Ramsey did a good job
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of setting the edge there and wasn't what we thought
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: was gonna happen. Obviously, you know, we had a plan
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: for for that play and that really wasn't uh didn't
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: play out how we thought it would, so you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: gotta give credit to them, And then they made some
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: big defensive stops at the end of that game. But we,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you know, we put ourselves in some tough spots and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he'd love to go get it on third down and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: not be in that fourth down situation where you gotta
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: go get that. So lot of stuff to learn from
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and yeah, okay, let's.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Take like two one is it? Is it? Uh? Missed opportunity?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You feel like right now you just you're going in.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: To maybe put the game away? Yeah, how you would?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: How prick does that change in terms of the game change?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Obviously? Change is quick.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: This this game is a this league, it's a game
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of momentum, and you have to be able to if
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you're on the good side of the momentum flip, you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: gotta be able to take it in and runt with it,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: which they did today. And if you're on the opposite side,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you gotta be able to weather the storm and settle
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: back in as quickly as possible.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: So seemed like we weren't able to do that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You know, we the next time we got the ball,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: like I said, real stagnant and just you know, weren't
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: getting many positives and then had some bad sacks there
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: at the end on me. You know, I thought the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: protection was really great all all day. Those guys did
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a good job and giving me time. So a couple
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of those were were either coverage sacks or me trying
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to trying to scramble into one.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just frustrating.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You know, you feel the momentum flip and you gotta
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: be able to settle in and playing on the road, obviously,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that's a huge thing, is don't you know, don't let
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the momentum take the game away from you. And I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: felt like we didn't settle back in and they did, so, yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you gotta be able to recover from those things. So
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it's football, it's the NFL. You're not gonna blow many
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: teams out. You know, we had an opportunity coming out
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: at halftime to go put some points on the board
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and really make it a twenty four or seven game.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: We didn't do that, and that would have been a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: big opportunity for us. But all these games are gonna
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: come down to one score, so you gotta be able
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to win it at the end.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: You know, all right, if you are all right, thanks
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: for doing sure all right, Thanks guys,
