  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's obviously it's frustrating, and we say
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the same thing every week, so that's it's kind of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it's tough and same thing you know that I've said
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: every week when I stand up here and UM, you know,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'm obviously I'm I'm pretty upset and frustrated and disappointed
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it myself and the way the way you know, I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: finished the game, and UM, just just have to continue
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to find ways to to win these games, like you
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: know what I've said so UM, and you know, regardless
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of of mistakes throughout the game, UM, at the end,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: we just gotta find ways to to rally and and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: go make the play. And they're on the last drive.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Felt like, you know, we had all the confidence in
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the world stepping out there and then first play, you know,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I threw it a little bit behind Christian and um
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the nickel of Kawan made made a good play and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: picked it and it's kind of just the way it ended.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So that's tough, you know, being being the quarterback and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to go win the game and you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: don't get it done. That's really really disappointing and frustrating.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And I gotta look in the mirror, and um, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: gotta play better. You know, there's there's that out of them,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: there's the goal line interception, and um, there's a couple
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of players I really want back and but you don't
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: get them back, you know, at this point. So it's
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it's finding ways to overcome those. Obviously in the last
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: play the game there you can't overcome that because the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: game is over. But even throughout the game, we kind
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of sputtered a little bit on offense, and um, we
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: gotta find find more ways to rally, rally around each other, Um,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: get back on track. And I thought we did that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the second to last drive, put together a good drive
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with good field position there to start and went out
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and scored. And then after that, you know, we got
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a minute forty with two time outs left and plenty
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of time. We got you know, no panic, no rush
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: at all, um, and I just got to get the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: drive started and get us moving, and I wasn't able
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to do that. So you know, it's it's definitely a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: tough feeling when you come all this way, especially and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you've got guys that are working so hard to win
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and you're doing everything you can, and um, just not
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: finding just not being able to finish the game there.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So but all we can do is just keep going
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to work, keep doing what we've been doing. Um, we
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: know how close we are, but that's not really Um,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that's not the point of this thing. It's it's to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: go win games. And UM, you know it's gonna moments
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like this will make it a lot sweeter when we
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: do turn that corner and we start we start winning
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a bunch of games and and doing all the things
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that we know we're capable of here. And and I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: got no doubt that's gonna happen. Um, but I gotta
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: play better, and I just I'll leave it at that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't play well enough today to win.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Why did you say you in the team as she
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: came off the field after that interception at the end?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: What do you say? I'm sorry? What did you say
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the team as you came off the field after that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: interception at the end? I say to the team you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: said to the rest? You know? You know? Just there,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of taking it in and and just obviously
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a bad, a bad moment there. I'm not gonna play
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: by me, and UM, I'm just disappointed me. There's a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: couple of guys that come up to me and told
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: me keep my head up. All that stuff. We gotta
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we got a great team, guys that are really supportive,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and she had some conversations in the locker room with
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: those guys, and UM, the biggest thing is, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: there's still so much season left, and we gotta we
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: gotta keep our heads up and we gotta keep going
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to work. And UM, that can't change age. You know. Obviously,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: another tough game that came down to the wire that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we weren't able to finish, and UM, that's gonna turn
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and we got to just keep putting the work in.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We gotta keep you know, showing up every day, UM,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: preparing the same way and just go finish these games
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and turn the corner and start stacking them. And UM,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I believe we're gonna do it. And but gosh, I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: wish it would have started today, you know. So that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was that's what's really disappointing, is, Um, we felt like
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it was going to start today and just didn't didn't
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: finish on the first interception when you're you're rolling out
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to the right, did you think you can squeeze that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that ball to to day because the safety who made
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the interception was kind of maybe a little bit hidden
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: from you today there. I think it was Marvin in
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. Um, no, yeah, it
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: was it was Marvin. It was yeah. You know the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: play we had on we you know, trying to get
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the ball to Christian and the nickel did a really
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: good job covering him, and I kept extending the play
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and I had Marvin on the back line, just didn't
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: put enough touch to get it over. The safety was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: really just on the goal line, Um, kind of reading
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: my eyes, running with me, mirror and me, and you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I had Marvin in the back of the end zone.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I just threw it too low, and the safety I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: made a great play. So either you know, the thing
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you look back and say is, you know, you put
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it in a spot where only your guy can get it,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and if you catched it, great touchdown. If not, it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: incomplete and probably not the obviously not the best location
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: for the ball there. But I really don't think that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: it was necessarily the wrong decision. Just didn't throw a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: good ball and um didn't keep it away from those
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: guys on the goal line. So yep, either right, UM,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I mean worry no, because I know what we're capable of.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: But you know, there's some there's a sense of urgency
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: where we have to we have to be better. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that's like you just talked about the turnover in the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: red zone we've had. You know, we had one last week,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: had another one this week, and those are just points
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you're taken right off the board. And um, so we
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: got to be better in that way. I think I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: thought our defense did a great job today of keeping
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: us in the game when we sputtered on offense. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you know, if you if you look back at that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: possession where we're on the goal line, should have scored,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you know, that's a that's a big that's a seven
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: point swing. Um. And then you look at the end
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and a half where I had the intentional grounding and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: should have just taken you know, the short route out
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to the field and probably get us in field goal
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: range and have a chance to get three points there
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: right before halftime. So there's a couple of plays I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: really want back that it hurt us and kept points
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: off the board for us. And and those are things
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that we gotta get better at, and I gotta get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: better at. And we got to execute better despite the loss.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: What do you think you lost the memory of playing
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and when the time it's a it's a little harder
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to think about that, you know, after you you lose
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the game. So, um, you know, it was a great atmosphere.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's always it's always fun playing over here where the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: fans are great just to see the support for the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Jags and um, it's always cool. So you know, we're
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: really appreciative of the fans. And obviously it sucks, you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you don't you don't finish the game, don't win, but
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: still appreciate all the fans here that that came out,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: especially to Jacks fans and um, so so thank you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to all you guys out there. Talk a little bit
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: about the job that trave that Travis did today. Hud
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: six yards rushing, Yeah, usually a recipe for winning kind
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of numbers from that. Yeah, he's you know, he's continuing
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to show, um what kind of player he is and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the way he's going to be in this offense. And um,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know, he he ran his tail off today. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: just honestly, I'm just proud of that guy. He's he's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: doing some great things and um, yeah, so you should
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: win the game when you when you rush for one fifty,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: especially just from one player. So you know, we gotta
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we gotta find ways to to go finish. And you
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: know he had a great game, and but we all
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: gotta we all gotta be better. So how do you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: eliminate those couple of plays each game that can be
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the difference between winning and lose it? Yeah, I mean
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's just, um, just constantly training yourself and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: in every situation. You know, obviously, when you have a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: play called and you get the coverage you want and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the matchup you want, you know where you're going with
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the ball. That's not the hard part. It's when they
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: give you a look that really you don't want for
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that play or you weren't expecting or whatever, and um,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that's when you just gotta be smarter. And personally, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: gotta be smarter. And a few of those situations, UM,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And I think there was there was a couple of
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: times where I could have just you know, taking the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: completion and kept us on schedule. And I think, you know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: once or twice I looked for a little bit more
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: when I probably shouldn't have. Um, So it's all those
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: plays and you know, you know, I know, I've prepared myself,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I've watched the tape, I know what they're what they're
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: gonna do on defense. But there's always those those times
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: where you know it's a good disguise or it's a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: pressure or whatever, and it's all about how you react
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in those moments, and um, I need to be cleaner
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and and just keep us on schedule, don't make a bad,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: bad play worse. We talked about that all the time. Um,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I just I think just keeping us in
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: good situations, manable manageable situations, because we're really we're really
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: really good when we're we're in you know, second and five,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: third and five manageable situations when we get behind the sticks,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: especially against that team. That's kind of where they have
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: lived this season, is keeping people in second and third
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and long and that's where they're really really good. So, um,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be the message every week. But yeah, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: just just handling those situations better from from myself and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: really just all the way around. What was different in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: your preparation this week? You had a different head coach
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: last year when you came here for the first time.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: What was different this week compared to last year, you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: not much was different. You know, obviously we we have
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a different a lot of different players, a lot of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: new players and new coaches. But as far as travel,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I think it was the same the same. Excuse me,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the same timing is last year when we got into town, Um,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I thought we you know, we handled the time changing,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the you know, the adjusted schedule really well, and it
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: was really similar to last year. So I thought we
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: were I thought we were prepared. I thought the guys
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: were ready to play. Um, you know that all that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: was fine, all right, thank you all. I appreciate it.
