1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Blank to say, I feel like a step backward for 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: this program after you know, the first two losses with 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: there is some positives to take out of it. UM. 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: I think I can't really dive into that too much. 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: Obviously it sucks to lose, UM, but I kind of 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: want to see, obviously the tape to see certain moments. UM. 7 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna still come down to the to 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: the same things we've been talking about the last two weeks. 9 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: Just fundamentals and making sure we're in the right spot, UM, 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: leverage wise, not making stupid mistakes, UM, and just not 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: hurting ourselves. Was there any common denominator to the two 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: touchdowns that they scored on on sort of the end 13 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: of round, Well, one was the screen and then the 14 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: other one was the end of round getting the ball 15 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: on open space there on that side. Uh. Yeah, it 16 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: was just one of those kind of moments UM, all 17 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: working together and be able to see those plays, UM, 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: And I think, once again, I want to look at 19 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: it on film. But when we see it's just gonna 20 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: be small, little fundamental things, whether it's UM being able 21 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: to tell you beat a block too cleanly on a screenplay, UM, 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: having the force presidents whatever ends up being UH, that 23 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: could have went wrong on that play. You come from 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: a program where there were in a lot of three 25 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: game losing streaks with how are you handling this? I 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: think any competitor UM would handle it. UH in a 27 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: very UM professional way is the best way I can 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: put it. Just knowing that it's not good enough. UM. 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: And we have to be able to show up every 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: single day UM and put the work in UM and 31 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: keep chopping wood and knowing that what we've been doing 32 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: UM isn't it. And when we come back on Wednesday, 33 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: we have to kind of step that level up even 34 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: more and know that what we're doing out there, every 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: single person is on the same page. Every single person 36 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: knows what we're doing, every person understands situations, UM, and 37 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: just getting everything right. Thank you ba Hey, Blake did um. 38 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: You guys seem to be playing well early, but your 39 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: guys offense couldn't stay on the field and you end 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: up playing forty minutes as a defense. I mean, isn't 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: it impossible basically to play well as a defense if 42 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: you're on the field for forty or sixty minutes? I mean, 43 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: any competitors, there's nothing that's impossible. I think for us, 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: we we work in situations, whether it's sudden change, whether 45 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: it's backed up, um, whether it's whatever ends up happening 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: in the game. We've worked it. UM. We've done the conditioning, 47 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: We've done multiple things throughout training camp, the ramp up period, um. 48 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: Everything you can think of that has given us the 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: ability to go out there no matter we play all 50 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: sixty minutes, um, where we play one minute of the game, UM. 51 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: And I think it's just what it's gonna come down 52 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: to once again, all across the board is just making 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: sure we're in the right positions, we understand what they're 54 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: trying to hit on us, We understand um, what they've 55 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: been doing throughout the game, and just making those adjustments. UM. 56 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: And then like I said, not shooting us in the 57 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: foot ourselves in the foot. Um. When kind of big 58 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: opportunities to switch momentum come to us, we had time 59 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: for three more Jordan Lombardo and Darryl Jordan's Hey Blake, 60 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: you guys lost thirties six to nine. Then they were 61 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: that a bunch of starters, you know. And three I'm curious, 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: when you look at it, where do you think this 63 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: program is overall in regards to its progression. Yeah, I 64 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: think anybody looks at it. You you know, we're in 65 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: the position of needing to get better um and needed 66 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: to approve UM, needing to come together as a unit, uh, 67 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: not getting our feelings UM. And we just need to 68 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: push each other to that that next point, uh, to 69 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: make sure that we don't keep this thing going. Hey Blake, 70 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: UM kind of piggyback and all that. You know, you're 71 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: a captain, You've you know, won a lot of games 72 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: in this league. What do you tell some of the 73 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: younger guys, like, how do you keep people invested in 74 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: this thing? At oh and three and the wheels kind 75 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: of falling off today? No, Yeah, I think every single 76 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: week is a new week. I think the biggest thing 77 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: that you can tell the younger guys that it's it's 78 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: really hard to win this league. Um. And so no 79 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: matter what week it is, you could be playing a 80 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: team that's fifteen and oh, um, you you go out 81 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: there and play a better game than them, You're gonna 82 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: beat them no matter what your record is. UM. And 83 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: I know the guys in this room on the type 84 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: of guys we have in this locker room. UM, are 85 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: the guys that we need to to kind of weather 86 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: this storm. And I know we're gonna We're gonna come 87 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: out on top of this, UM. And I think obviously 88 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people on the outside are gonna look 89 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: at this as a negative, UM, but for all of us, 90 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: we need to take this as a positive and and 91 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: basically show UM how we need to go moving forward. 92 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: Is there in terms of the defense bouncing back from this? 93 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: Is is there? You know? Do you have to kind 94 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: of challenge each other? Is something that you take personally? 95 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: You know, watching back up back have the kind of 96 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: day that he had against you guys? Oh yeah, I 97 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: think anything you you go out there and obviously UM 98 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: have thirty six points giving up UM. You you need 99 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: to take a step back and look and see what 100 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: needs to change? What needs to improve? UM? What what 101 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: do we need to add in UM, whether it's player 102 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: wise to to make sure we understand, UM, how we 103 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: can get all the field two minute, how we can 104 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: do things in the red area, UM, what we need 105 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: to communicate, how we need to make sure we just 106 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: do our one eleven and have that mental UM capacity 107 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: of just making sure I'm focused in every single play. 108 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: No matter if it's the first play or the seventieth 109 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: player of the game's last question here, Daryl, Yeah, I 110 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: can hear you. Yeah, that's earlier. UM. So Joe talked 111 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: a lot after the last game your guys toughness and 112 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: resilience as a team. I think stands would look at 113 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: this game and say, you got outscored twenty to three 114 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: in the second half. So where is the toughness there? 115 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: Where is the resilience? How would you kind of answer that? UM? 116 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it's something that we kind of instilled in ourselves. 117 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: I think, no matter what the score is, what happened 118 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: throughout the game, UM, I know I can look at 119 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: every single one of our guys and know that we 120 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: played extremely tough for all sixty minutes, UM, on both 121 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: sides of the ball. And I think people look at 122 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: it more as a funamental mistake as lack of toughness, 123 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: and I think at the end of the day, it's 124 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: more making sure we dial in on the little things, 125 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: UM that are hurting us. UM. And that's that's the 126 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: biggest thing I could take from this game.
