1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Afternoon, Doug, can we just get injury update on Evan, Tank, Gabe,

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: Cisco and maybe Anton too, if there's something with Anton.

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: Uh. Yeah.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 3: So Evan obviously, as you know, prior to pregame warm ups, Uh,

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 3: he's out there running, running around getting himself loose for

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 3: the game and obviously felt something you know, in his

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 3: hamstring and and so it was significant enough to keep

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: him out and hold him out of the football game yesterday.

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 3: We'll see, uh where he is this week. Uh, you know, optimistic,

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: but uh, we just got to see. Ham strings can

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: be funny, you know. So so it's it's kind of

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 3: a week to week deal right now with him all

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: the other guys. Tank, Tank, actually you know, just uh

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: he got hit on his shoulder on the kickoff return.

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: Had a little bit of a shoulder injury there. Took

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: him in, you know, did some X rays on him.

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: Everything was good, got him back kind of loosened up,

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, was was sort of available, you know,

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: in the second half of the football game yesterday. Gabe

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: just landed on his on his shoulder on the sideline

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 3: there late in the game.

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: He's fine. Anton is fine, and was there one more

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: that you asked me about Cisco.

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: I think, uh, Cisco, Cisco's okay, He's fine.

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: What can you do to jump start this offense?

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: Is there?

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: Is it as simple as simplifying it even more changing?

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't know the way you approach the game plan

29
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: or what can you do to kind of jump start

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: this group?

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something we got to look at, you know,

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: these next couple of days. You know, I think it

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: starts in practice. I think we can we can do

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: some things differently in practice and and how we you know,

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: attack that you know, each period in practice, that's one.

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: You know, obviously, the game plans, game plan, you can

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: you can simplify as much as you want, but it

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: doesn't change the fact that you gotta you gotta start fast, right,

39
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: I mean that that that just goes without saying. And

40
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: and it just has to be an awareness just a

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: sense of urgency by everybody, the entire football team really,

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: you know, when we when we head into these games.

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: But I think we can we can maybe mix some

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: things up and and just just you know, uh a

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: little more attention to detail and practice as we go

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: each week.

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: And I know the ball goes where the open guy is,

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: But are you're a little surprised that Christian has not

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: been more involved at this point.

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: Well, as you know, the ball goes where it goes,

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: and and you know there were opportunities, but but the

52
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 3: ball was going going somewhere else in the progression.

53
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: So you know, we're we're going to.

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: Continue to to find ways to get Christian the football

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: and and he'll be a big part of the offense.

56
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: Thanks So, yeah, John Shipley than Jean.

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 5: Mason yesterday, and maybe what he needs to do, what

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: has to happen moving forward for that to change.

59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 3: Say that again, the first part was kind of kind

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: of low volume.

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: Not bad.

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 5: Can you talk a little bit about the decision to

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: have Mason in active yesterday and what kind of needs

64
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 5: to happen for him for that to change moving forward?

65
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's you got fifty three players each week,

66
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: and and I get a chance to select the forty

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: eight and obviously I you know, visit with the defensive

68
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 3: staff and and and it kind of goes too off

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: of the prior the prior.

70
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: Week, So it's not necessarily what Mason did.

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: I think I think guys like Big O and and

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Jeremiah also had had good weeks.

73
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: Of preparation and practice.

74
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: And and it's it's just an opportunity for Mason to

75
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: to learn and and and you know put himself in

76
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: a position this week to to try to be to

77
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: be elevated.

78
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: So it was nothing that he didn't do.

79
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: I just think it was a fact that that Jeremiah

80
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: and and and Big O had had opportunities to be

81
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 3: up this week.

82
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: Step We'll go to Gene then to Gary. Hey, Doug.

83
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 6: Uh, the players in the locker room often talk about

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 6: how together and bonded they are and the chemistry is

85
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 6: there regardless of whether it's adversity or things are going well.

86
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 6: How much do you think that that will serve them

87
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 6: well as they, you know, deal with this early season

88
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 6: adversity of just not playing up the par.

89
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 3: I think it's everything the fact that they are, you know,

90
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: and we've had listen, Jane, we've had many guys in

91
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: here today already, and and you know they've come up

92
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: and talked to the coaches and want them to sit

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: down and go through the tape, and and uh, they're

94
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: on they're on board. I mean it's it's they understand.

95
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 3: I mean, they understand they have to play better. We

96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: have to coach better. It's it's a group effort. It's

97
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: it's no particular one person or one position, group or

98
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: one side of the ball. I think I think there's

99
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: enough obviously enough mistakes to fix enough.

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: Things we can we can get better at.

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: But but the fact that the players are united and

102
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: and locked in and and uh focused that way as

103
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: a good sign.

104
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 6: As a follow up, could you talk about the performance

105
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 6: of your secondary yesterday? Missing all the pieces they were missing,

106
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 6: but seemed to hold up pretty well.

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: I'll tell you the secondary has been been really a

108
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: bright spot.

109
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we had some some some mishaps.

110
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: You know week one in Miami and and uh, you know,

111
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: things of that nature. But I thought, I thought buster

112
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: played an excellent football game yesterday. You know, you saw

113
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: DeAndre Prince come in and and make make a play

114
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: on Amari Cooper.

115
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: I mean, they're best receiver and you.

116
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: Know, just they continue to gain confidence the more they're

117
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: out there. We we still have some communication things we

118
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: got to clean up, you know, and and and some

119
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: leverage things, but uh, that's been a that's been a

120
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: bright spot for us.

121
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 6: One last thing, if I may, you like, communication is

122
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 6: the biggest or miscommunication is the biggest issue with this

123
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 6: offense right now, because it was mentioned quite a bit

124
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 6: in the locker room yesterday.

125
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: I do it's it's it's one aspect.

126
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, there's there's a there's a lot of

127
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: things that have to go on, and there's a lot

128
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: of talking that goes on for you know, for.

129
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: Each individual play.

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: And and you know, we missed some things in the

131
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 3: run game, we missed some things in protection, but all

132
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: things are very fixable and correctable, and and you know, uh,

133
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: but yes, that is definitely something we've gotta we've got

134
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: to correct.

135
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: Thanks Bet.

136
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 7: Kerry, followed by Mia and Doug. Yesterday, you're asked about

137
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 7: your confidence in the offensive line and you gave him

138
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 7: brief but positive answer that you did. Can you elaborate

139
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 7: on why you have as much confidence as you do

140
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 7: in the offensive line?

141
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I guess I guess I would need

142
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: from you. I would need what what what do you?

143
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: What do you mean? You know, is there something that

144
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: specifically stands out.

145
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 7: To you or or well the protection issues, for instance,

146
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 7: on the safety you know, Ezra and Cam got split

147
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 7: on that side, and it just looks like there's some

148
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 7: guys are kind of last two weeks are running free.

149
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 7: There's a couple of instances of h and again it

150
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 7: goes back to miscommunication possibly. But you know, why do

151
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 7: you have confidence in this offensive line right now that

152
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 7: they can get better?

153
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think that's the number one thing.

154
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: I think the confidences uh is still there, That's the thing.

155
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: And I think the.

156
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: Communication is is probably the biggest issue. Some of the

157
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: hits yesterday was the fact that whether it was Trevor

158
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: or Mitch, I mean, these are things we gotta we

159
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: gotta fix, you know, making making protection calls and letting guys,

160
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: letting guys free. And then the one on the safety

161
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: is just a matter of you know, just just execution

162
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: down there.

163
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't it wasn't necessarily a communication issue.

164
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: And and then just having a sense of awares because

165
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: we we if we pick up that that that defensive

166
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: tackle right there, Uh, there's a there's a big play

167
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: uh to to Brian. So those are all things that

168
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: we've we've got to fix. And then even in the

169
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: run game, you know, this is probably going to be

170
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: the fastest sort of downhill linebacker group we may see

171
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: all season, you know, and these guys really attacked the

172
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. And there were some good things, some

173
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: good positive things, some good, nice, nice.

174
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Uh you know runs that were in there.

175
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: And then there were some some ones that that we

176
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: we just we failed to execute on.

177
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: So you know, confidence is.

178
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: Still high and and it's it's going to remain high,

179
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: and you know, we just continue to gell these these

180
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: five guys together.

181
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: Thank you, Mia, followed by Hayes.

182
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 8: Hey, Doug certainly trevored in mince words at the podium yesterday.

183
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 8: I'm just curious the fire you've seen from him in

184
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 8: the last twenty four hours or so. How do you

185
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 8: react to that as a as a head coach?

186
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: When you say fire, what do you what do you

187
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: talk about?

188
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: Uh?

189
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 8: He stood at the podium and said we suck right

190
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 8: now and did not mince words, and certainly uh yeah,

191
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 8: he was very forward, very poignant, talked about accountability and

192
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 8: saying to guys, hey, if I'm calling you out, if

193
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 8: you can't handle the heat, kind of get out of

194
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 8: the street.

195
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: You know, that's that's what you want from your leader.

196
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: I don't want I don't want anybody to sugarcoat anything.

197
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: I think that's that's that's stuff that gets swept under

198
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 3: the rug, is is what kind of gets you bet.

199
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: We've got to keep everything in the forefront. We've got

200
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: to keep it in the front of our minds, you know.

201
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: And and listen, he's he's he's the franchise, right, he's

202
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: the starting quarterback and and he's the one back there

203
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: with the football making the decision. So I appreciate the

204
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: fact that he, you know, he's taking that role and

205
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: that lead. And it may not be in his his

206
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: nature to do it, but you know what, he's got

207
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: to do it. And I'm excited for that. And I

208
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: think I think the players will respond. I mean there,

209
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: they're going to support him a hundred times over and

210
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: and if if if they're not, you know, uh And

211
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: and I think I think it's too.

212
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: I think it's a two way street.

213
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 8: Me.

214
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: I think it's the players will hold him accountable too,

215
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: you know. And and I think it's a two way street.

216
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: So I can appreciate that from him.

217
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 8: I'm just curious. Have you felt that sort of fire

218
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 8: from him away from the podium, that he has been

219
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 8: much more deliberate in his conversations and his words.

220
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think that's part of the maturity,

221
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: you know, growing up in this league. And and you know, listen,

222
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: he's a competitor and he wants to win, and we

223
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: all want to win. And sometimes you have to you

224
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: have to be assertive, you know, in your leadership.

225
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: And and it's good to see he's followed by Jumal.

226
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 9: Hey, Doug being one in seven in your in your

227
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 9: last eight games, have you ever gone through a stretch

228
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 9: like that?

229
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: And and how do you not let it affect your confident?

230
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: Well, I hadn't thought about it until you said it, so, uh, yeah,

231
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: you know what, I don't let it affect me. I

232
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: just know it's a it's a it's a business that

233
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: it's a one week you know, it's a week to

234
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: week business. We've talked about this a lot, and and

235
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 3: you know, I I I gotta find thing for me too,

236
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 3: is yes, we got to correct the negative h and

237
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: the and the things that are going wrong, but I

238
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 3: also got to look at the positive and and what's.

239
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: What's being put out there.

240
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: And you know, I think I think it's a different

241
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: ballgame in Miami, as you guys know, if we don't

242
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: if we don't fumble, you know, on the on the

243
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: two yard line, and I think this week, if we

244
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: get a chance to score uh and not kick that

245
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: field goal there, uh, you know, we take the lead

246
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: and and potentially when when yesterday's game, despite you know,

247
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: the mistake.

248
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: So it's it's a little bit of a fine line.

249
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: I understand that. But we are you know, we are

250
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 3: where we are right now, as you mentioned one and

251
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 3: seven and and it's something that you know, we just

252
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: got to focus on focus on Buffalo this week.

253
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: And then how did you think Brenton Strange played for you?

254
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: He played really good, played tough, played physical, made some

255
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: great catches.

256
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: You know, somebody that we we we knew, you know,

257
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: he had it in him.

258
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: We've seen it in practice and it was good for

259
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: him to show up yesterday with Evan's absence.

260
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: Cool.

261
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 6: Thank you, Yeah, Jamal.

262
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: Hey Doug, when you you got a team that's kind

263
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 4: of looking for a spark, can Monday night football primetime

264
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 4: game be be the spark that you're kind of looking for?

265
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 4: Do you guys get up a little different for those

266
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: kind of games?

267
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: Oh, they definitely get up for Monday night, your primetime

268
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: You're the only you know game on around the league,

269
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: and everybody's watching.

270
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: So, uh, it's a great.

271
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: Opportunity for us to go on the road play good

272
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: good Bills football team obviously, and uh they've had they've

273
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: had some rest now, you know with their Thursday night

274
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: game with Miami, and but yeah, it's it's definitely a

275
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: great opportunity for our guys to to kind of get

276
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: fired up and look forward to play.

277
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 4: And you've been with this group for a little while now,

278
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 4: is it frustrating when this team seems to play their

279
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 4: best football when their backs against the wall, Like at

280
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: some point, do you want them.

281
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: To put that foot forward before they get in the corner?

282
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: Definitely, you know, you definitely want them to start the

283
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: game faster, start the second half faster, and and and

284
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: not wait, you know, not wait two and a half

285
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: quarters to to to you know, kind of get fired up.

286
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: But again, that's you.

287
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 3: Know, that's something we gotta we we got to focus

288
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: on and talk about it and then really talk about

289
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: it internally, I think, and see what we can do

290
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: to you know, jump jump sort of jump start and

291
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: spark spark the team.

292
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 4: Thank groach, be this will be the last one.

293
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 9: Travis, Hey, coach, could you touch on the impact of

294
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 9: losing Ingram during the pregame, and did they have any

295
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 9: you know, significant impacts as far as the play calls

296
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 9: we're concerned or the offensive performance coming out.

297
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: Obviously, when you lose, you lose a player like like Evan,

298
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: it can definitely take you know, uh, it can take

299
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 3: a little wind out of your sale.

300
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: Just a little bit.

301
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: He's a leader, he's he's obviously a starter, he's a captain.

302
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's uh, it's it's a big, big, big loss.

303
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: But you know that's the thing.

304
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: We could have lost him in pregame, We could have

305
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: lost him the first play of the game.

306
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: And and you've got to continue to play. So we

307
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: can't let things like that affect us.

308
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: You know, we we definitely hate it and and don't

309
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: like it for Evan obviously, and and now we've got

310
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: to see moving forward where he's at. But it's always

311
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: been a next man up mentality and and that's something

312
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: that we continue to preach and and you know we're

313
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: going to continue, uh to to keep that role. And

314
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: then you know, if we if we bring somebody up,

315
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: you know, Josiah or Sean off the practice squad this

316
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: this week, if that's the case, then then we got

317
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: to get them ready to go. So you know, it'll

318
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: always be the next man up. And but uh, as

319
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: far as the game yesterday, I don't think it necessarily

320
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: affected us as much. Maybe maybe a little more big

321
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: nickel or three safety type, you know, the Browns could

322
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: have presented with Evan on the field, you know, with

323
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: two tight ends. But other than that, it didn't really

324
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: it didn't really affect us.

325
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: Too much, gotcha.

326
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 9: And also as far as the red zones were concerned,

327
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 9: you guys had two opportunities first and two, first and

328
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 9: goal from the two yard line, and both times came

329
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 9: away with field goals. I know that's been a kind

330
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 9: of an ongoing thing as far as trying to get

331
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 9: the red zone right. What were you take away from that?

332
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was frustrating.

333
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: You know, we we came out random ball, I think,

334
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: with two yard loss right there.

335
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: Then wen we line.

336
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: Up and empty and and we had an opportunity to uh,

337
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: you know, I think score even on the empty play,

338
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: and we didn't.

339
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: We didn't capitalize.

340
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 3: There and and and then ultimately the third down play,

341
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: they they the Browns you know, covered us up pretty good.

342
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: So we so we settled for the three, and then

343
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 3: you know the other one, and you look at that

344
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: one and and you know we had the illegal shift.

345
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: Can't happen. We got to make sure everybody's set on

346
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: the touchdown there. Even then, we had a chance I

347
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: think prior to that, or no, I think after that,

348
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: had a chance to run the ball in, got us

349
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: down to or maybe it was played before I can't

350
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: remember now, but got to like the two yard line.

351
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: So the opportunities are there. We just we just are

352
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: making a few mistakes and as we know, in this league,

353
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: you gotta score touchdowns, especially when you get inside the

354
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: ten
