  Speaker 1: It's a big opportunity tonight playing you know, a really
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: good team, good setting, good opportunity for us to be
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: at home. And the first half of this game we
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: couldn't get out of our way enough to make them
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: go long fields and to keep the football. And so
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: they got off to a great start, really good drive
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to open up. They go forty five with the next drive,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: when they scored in fifty something with the next one.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: So the field was too short. It was to hold
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: these guys down the.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Way we needed to, and we got nothing done on
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: offense in the first half, and so it really was halftime.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Here we go, what are we gonna do about it?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Our guys jump back and got going in the game.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: We moved the football better, we got off the field
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a few times, we get to turnover. There's a moment
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in there where there's a time at that fourteen points
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: down where one more score and it's gonna feel a
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: whole lot different. And we weren't able to get that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: closed off. And so they get a good win and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: away they go. This is a really a difficult team
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to play when you give them stuff and give them
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the field position opportunities and we don't make our first
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: downs and so it's be hard for everybody against them.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: And tonight so we saw what.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: That was like.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: This is a tough stretch coming up for us. It's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: as challenging as you can get, and we got to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: clean it up. We cannot give our opponents, uh the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: opportunity to have short fields and expect to get the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: kind of results we want. So as always, the ball
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: determines so much of it. The turnovers determined so much
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of it. And it's like the one for us almost
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: did for us too. It kind of turns the whole
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: feeling of the game around. So we go back to work.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: We got to get our stuff done. We've got a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: really challenging game coming up next week and we don't
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: have any time but to get back to work and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: do stuff right and coaches, players, everybody.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: All of us do It starts with me.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: The opportunity that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: They put together a great drive you know right down
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the field. Couldn't do anything with it, and we know
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we we get nothing out of the first drive, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: we you know, gets tripped in the second drive and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: gives us a long situation and and it just it
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: just went their way early on.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was concerning. It was really hard. This is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: what it was.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: If it all was Geno by the arm injury.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: No, I had nothing to do with it. I think
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: he was fine.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: How big was the play when Jackson looked like he
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: got held in again? So that was what we're talking about.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, I didn't see it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: The guys that advised me, but they saw the copy
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and TV copy of it, so it was you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it was, you know, pretty obvious, but I didn't see that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So I can't tell you right now. But that's a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: huge situation for us. Yeah, that's what we're trying to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: get right back in it. And we felt that everybody
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in the in the stadium could feel that they were
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: ready for us to turn the game around, and we
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: were there for the for the opportunity. We just missed
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: our shot there in the second half. Yeah, I mean
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: we we the game turned, you know, and then we
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, if it looks like we outscored him
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in the second half something, We're going to hang our
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: hat on and we got to go back to work.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Uh I.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I was thrilled that that our guys turned that game
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: back around where it felt like we're gonna come back
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and go get it done. And we we had that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: sense at halftime that we could and so it was
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it was, uh, it's good to see that happen. Almost
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it almost got there, Jackson take it over for Reeke
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't back all the way. We like, you know, he
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: didn't tackle well with his shoulder, and we just felt like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and I want, we went into the game, went wanting
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to see if he could hold up, and it didn't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: feel like he was ready. And Mike was, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent ready to go. And and you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: we we think Mike's a terrific football player and there's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: no problem putting him on the field.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Courtious the second stretch.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I think in the season where you've gone six quarters
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: without an offensive touchdown, where where can you make changes
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: or a can can there be changes that you could
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: make this kind of spark things here in the off Yeah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: we we have to find our u the consistency that
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we were not feeling it, you know, and and uh
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: it's not you can see it. It's just we're just
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: not moving the ball steadily, and we have to find
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: our way to do that. It's mixing the stuff that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: we have and using the guys that we have better
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: than we have so far. And so I mean, I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: saying Geno's fine. Maybe he wasn't fine.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought he won't tell you. You'll
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: see him, he won't tell you had anything to do
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: with his night tonight.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Gino did a good job just to get back out,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that's for darn sure. And we need to help him
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: be effective. That's that's what this is, and that's by
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: running the football and by catching the football and making
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: our plays and converting on third downs.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: We have to help them in every way we can.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Times against people consider teams.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You say the game, please.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Against teams.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, both those games were on agree.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Well, we got we got to show we got plenty
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of chances. We have plenty of chances coming up. This
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: is playoff time.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Every week, and uh, we we got plenty of chances
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: with the teams that will play in the next month
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that are going to show us where we are and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: where we fit with all that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: What how far do.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: You feel you you spent this offseason, in the preseason everything,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: They played really good first half and jumped on us,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know, that's I don't I can't make that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I can't make that determination at this time.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: On game tonight without Ken Walker.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I thought Zach ran hard as hell. He he
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: got after it and did a nice job when we
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: gave him a chance. And we didn't get much going
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in the first half, but but he showed you, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: he he can make guys miss He's tough. Uh, he
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: can finish his runs. Uh, he's a good football player.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we miss Ken.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Ken.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Ken's a uh, a totally different style player than then Zach.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And I've told you a ton ton of times I'd
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: love having that that change up, and we didn't have
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that tonight.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Tell you about em in the line of scrimmage.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: What did you see against the run in this game,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: especially with breaking tables. Yeah, you know, I need to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: see the film to see what happened on that. But
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he he ran well tonight. It felt like there was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: times when we were really solid and there was times
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: when we got slashed pretty good.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You know, So.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: We were you know, we we worked our fronts to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: play and we were trying to play the running game,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and we didn't play it well enough.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: People.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: What did you see on the interception that Gino had
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: on the come back to the tyl on the sideline.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Is there anything you thought.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You guy made a really good play settle on it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and and and and jumped it. You know, he had
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to really jump it to get that make that play,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: which he did.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we I thought he's gone, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I was. I thought he was in the n zone
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: right there. It was a huge play force in the game.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And loved to see that, you know, that contribute. But
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it's nice to see him have a factor. The other
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: play that that was an amazing play was was what
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we saw Jackson do tonight. That was an incredible play.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I wish we would have finished that drive and the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: one that with the p I happens just would have
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: been I don't would have been a bigger factor in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the game. It was an amazing play. Uh he he
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: twisted his ankle and uh he couldn't quite get get
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the power back in it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: So Stone finished up.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Jordan Brooks tipball.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He takes that in what was about defensive livate the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: resiliency there, the opportunity that. Yeah, I thrilled to see
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: him make a play like that. I think that might
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: be his first pick, Is that right?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And and to put in the end zone in this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: setting and all of that, that was great.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It was a great play. He was he was balling tonight.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: He was busting his ass and running all over the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: place trying to make his hits and all. And it
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: was nice to see him get that play and converted.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Were there any other injuries of note?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: We're good right now, We're in good shape. They thanks,
