Speaker 1: There's nothing for now. Everyone returned back to the game,
Speaker 1: So we'll see if we have more for you guys tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
Speaker 2: On that second interception? Were Jinny's And are you supposed
Speaker 2: to be that close together?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What's the idea of that? How he been only two
Speaker 2: or three yards apart on the hash like.
Speaker 1: I just went, he threw it. The timing of it.
Speaker 1: But it's just a clear route and breaking round called dagger.
Speaker 1: It's very normal. Did it we ran three times in
Speaker 1: the game? Was it the first interception?
Speaker 2: Kyle?
Speaker 1: Obviously it was a big one down of the ten
Speaker 1: yard line.
Speaker 3: How was that play designed to go? And and what
Speaker 3: happened wrong?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 1: Just supposed to be a handoff to him, and we
Speaker 1: missed the handoff and then you tried to scramble out of there,
Speaker 1: and by that time you don't want to throw it
Speaker 1: down the field because people are run blocking. So we
Speaker 1: just missed the handoff and made a mistake after it.
Speaker 2: Rock right now. Five picks the last three games, No
Speaker 2: picks the first five games. What's what's going on?
Speaker 1: I made some bad picks there at the end. Thought
Speaker 1: he was one of the reasons we were in the
Speaker 1: game today. Some of those throves he made out there
Speaker 1: were unbebelievable. The mistake in the red zone, missing the
Speaker 1: handoff was the biggest part. And then once you do that,
Speaker 1: you gotta you can't throw it, You're gonna get the penalty.
Speaker 1: But on worse that, he got the pick.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: He was aggressive, thought the mic was gonna pass on
Speaker 1: that second pick, and the mic fell off right what
Speaker 1: you want? So just got to see it.
Speaker 3: Think he was okay, you didn't have any effects from
Speaker 3: the concussion.
Speaker 1: No, he wouldn't have been allowed to play, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he would.
Speaker 2: Have been allowed to play.
Speaker 3: But he felt like he was as.
Speaker 2: Sharp as usual.
Speaker 1: I mean, he had those turnovers, but I mean guy
Speaker 1: made some really good plays in the game. And when
Speaker 1: it came down to there at the end and we're
Speaker 1: getting a little bit one dimensional, you know, especially that
Speaker 1: pick when we were backed up there inside the red
Speaker 1: zone or the negative red zone was the worst one.
Speaker 3: He was deep. Because we last week talked about him,
Speaker 3: you know, kind of man coverage to the rush. Did
Speaker 3: you think there were still some problems there? And this
Speaker 3: did you what did you see defense?
Speaker 1: I'll see more when I get to watch the whole
Speaker 1: thing in unison. But I thought, you know, the first
Speaker 1: drive I thought was kind of you know, the most
Speaker 1: how the whole day went a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: I thought our cover was really good on that third
Speaker 1: and long on the first drive, it looked like we
Speaker 1: had about three different opportunities to sack them. Took a
Speaker 1: number of hitches. We had a bunch of guys there,
Speaker 1: which means the coverage and the rush was good. And
Speaker 1: then he got out of there and somehow moved the
Speaker 1: change with his legs. So I thought our tackling was
Speaker 1: extremely sloppy today, especially in the first half. I thought
Speaker 1: we tackled better in the second half, but yeah, there
Speaker 1: was too much space. Well, I mean, I'll talk to
Speaker 1: him more tomorrow. But my messes was we got to
Speaker 1: take that. I mean, we didn't play well. That team
Speaker 1: beat us straight up.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: We talked about tackling better, talked about doing having less penalties.
Speaker 1: I think we only had five, but in comparison to them,
Speaker 1: I think it was one. And we had some ones
Speaker 1: in some crucial situations that gave first downs. From my
Speaker 1: bottom line of them was, you know, we got to
Speaker 1: get better in every aspect. You know. The things that
Speaker 1: disappointed me today were some of the fundamentals of just
Speaker 1: throwing and catching, tackling, and some of those penalties that cost.
Speaker 2: Us some rushing yards from scrambles that he made plays on.
Speaker 2: But as far as your consistent running game, and he like,
Speaker 2: you know, ideally like to get forty runs if you can.
Speaker 2: Some of that's game circumstance. But the last few games
Speaker 2: it's been rough. Get they go on with just playing
Speaker 2: into that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't been able to create as much space
Speaker 1: in the run game. I got away from them a
Speaker 1: little bit there in the second half. And also you
Speaker 1: gotta think I think we ended up three of eight
Speaker 1: on third down, which you got to do better on
Speaker 1: third down and able to get that going. I thought
Speaker 1: we had a couple of chances for creases and the
Speaker 1: guys that have made it to make a tackle and
Speaker 1: just miss those. When we had a couple of good runs,
Speaker 1: especially the first one or the third quarter. We had
Speaker 1: a holding call one on the first one of the
Speaker 1: game that got us into second and one, and then
Speaker 1: the next two runs don't move the chains for us
Speaker 1: to go three and out on the opening play of
Speaker 1: an eight and a half yard run. So gotta get
Speaker 1: some better looks got to run better, block better, and
Speaker 1: just do better as a team.
Speaker 2: Get into the second interception with that mic just being
Speaker 2: further into coverage, then you would be one game we're firing.
Speaker 1: No, we were an empty so I mean they know
Speaker 1: we're throwing when we're in empty. It was just quarters
Speaker 1: and Mike's usually there in quarters that he overran it,
Speaker 1: and he did it.
Speaker 2: So many issues over the last three weeks. Are there
Speaker 2: certain things, specific areas that are a major concern.
Speaker 1: Team going into this By I mean, I think I've
Speaker 1: kind of said all of 'em. I mean, and there's
Speaker 1: not one thing I'm gonna pinpoint. I think we need
Speaker 1: to run the ball better. We need to score more points,
Speaker 1: and we need to slow down guys down better, whether
Speaker 1: it's with pass rush, whether it's doing better on first
Speaker 1: and second down. I wanna say they had I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say it's exactly right. But when you get twenty
Speaker 1: first downs and I think think seventeen of them are
Speaker 1: on first or second something like that, So we gotta
Speaker 1: get in some more longer third downs. And when we do,
Speaker 1: we got we gotta get 'em off the field with
Speaker 1: the sack if they hold on the ball that long
Speaker 1: and I'll let him break that pocket.
Speaker 2: Ad urgency to the trade deadline.
Speaker 1: Is that something that No, none of this changes anything
Speaker 1: with the trade deadline and how we played today or
Speaker 1: how we've played these last three weeks. When you sit
Speaker 1: and you watch tape, when you're out there on the field,
Speaker 1: and I know these last two weeks especially, I felt.
Speaker 1: But I do believe we have the answers in our building.
Speaker 1: I believe we have good players. I believe we have
Speaker 1: good coaches. It's up to me to get them to
Speaker 1: do better. That we started out pretty good, but there's
Speaker 1: some things that we haven't been able to hide here
Speaker 1: in these last few weeks, and that's why we got
Speaker 1: to continue to got to continue to push them in
Speaker 1: every aspect, because some people do go in these losing
Speaker 1: streaks and they don't have those answers and you're just
Speaker 1: living in hope. I truly believe we do have the answers.
Speaker 1: I believe we got them on our team. I believe
Speaker 1: we got them with our staff. And we got to
Speaker 1: sit here and wait about fourteen days to deal with
Speaker 1: this feeling that we have, which nobody wants, but I
Speaker 1: think we need to. I think our guys need to
Speaker 1: be pissed off a little bit. I think we need
Speaker 1: to come back with a little better focus because it
Speaker 1: hasn't been enough. We haven't been getting done.
Speaker 3: With your level of support or confidence and steam wolves right.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's this is in on any one coach or
Speaker 1: any one side of the ball. And we've only played
Speaker 1: we haven't scored over twenty points here in three weeks too,
Speaker 1: So I think our defense needs to do better. I
Speaker 1: think our offense needs to do better. I think our
Speaker 1: team needs to do better. And when I say our team,
Speaker 1: I mean every single player in there, and I mean
Speaker 1: every single coaching today.
Speaker 3: Was that part of the kind of insensus or was
Speaker 3: that Steve just saying it wasn't the right.
Speaker 2: Time the blitz today?
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be a little bit different each week.
Speaker 1: I think it looks like we did less today and
Speaker 1: we're gonna whether we blitz or whether we don't blitz,
Speaker 1: And what do we do throughout the game. We've gotta
Speaker 1: be sound football. You gotta make the plays. You gotta
Speaker 1: can't give that much space, and you gotta get to
Speaker 1: that quarterback. When you don't get to that quarterback, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta make tackles, and we didn't do any of
Speaker 1: that stuff today. So it's not just cause of a
Speaker 1: call here and there or style. It's was a little
Speaker 1: bit of everything. When you talking about how you need
Speaker 1: to have a little bit better focused, do you feel that,
Speaker 1: especially after the first five weeks at No, I don't
Speaker 1: mean that. I mean I stay focused because winning football
Speaker 1: games about who does write longer for three and a
Speaker 1: half hours. And I think in our first five games
Speaker 1: we didn't always do right longer. We just made a
Speaker 1: bunch of plays and we were able to get up
Speaker 1: on people and win by a couple scores. And I
Speaker 1: think when that happens, those little mistakes aren't as crucial,
Speaker 1: and it hasn't been the case these last three weeks.
Speaker 1: We haven't been able to overcome some little mistakes, whether
Speaker 1: it's a turnover, whether it's a penalty, whether it's a drop,
Speaker 1: whether it's a mistackle. And that's kind of what I mean.
Speaker 1: You can't just focus in a game for three and
Speaker 1: a half hours and pick that up. That's how you
Speaker 1: focus throughout the week, just to make everything, every single
Speaker 1: play like it's the biggest play in the game. And
Speaker 1: we've gotten away with the number of stuff on our
Speaker 1: win streak, and we haven't in these last three weeks.
Speaker 1: And I still believe we've had every chance to win
Speaker 1: all three of these games, and that one got away
Speaker 1: from us the most. That's what's going to happen when
Speaker 1: we turn it over like there at the end, and
Speaker 1: when we do answer and they go right down and
Speaker 1: score again. That was our opportunity to get back in
Speaker 1: the game, and we missed that. So it's it's not
Speaker 1: one guy, it's a whole team. But everyone has their
Speaker 1: part in.
Speaker 2: It on some level.
Speaker 1: Product or you live the defense the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks and how well and how do I mean every week?
Speaker 1: I know there's a chance for it to go either way,
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty realistic about the NFL, but I do
Speaker 1: expect us to get better these each weeks. And I
Speaker 1: definitely expected us to be better versus Minnesota. Then we
Speaker 1: wore versus Cleveland, and I thought we'd be better today.
Speaker 1: Then we were versus Minnesota, and that wasn't the case.
Speaker 1: And that's why I got to look into it and
Speaker 1: find out why you guys.
Speaker 2: Like you scored seventeen points in three straight games, and
Speaker 2: how much can that.
Speaker 1: Be traced to Devo not being there.
Speaker 3: How much of an impact does that.
Speaker 1: I mean, good players allow you to overcome mistakes sometimes
Speaker 1: and they can hide stuff, kind of like what I
Speaker 1: was saying earlier. I don't think we didn't score enough
Speaker 1: points because we turned it over the first goal on
Speaker 1: the seven. I believe that we didn't do good and
Speaker 1: running the ball when we had some chances in second
Speaker 1: to one and third and one where I thought we
Speaker 1: would have stayed on the field. I feel I never feel.
Speaker 1: I always feel confident with our players that we're going
Speaker 1: to move the change and score, and it's do we
Speaker 1: not hurt ourselfs And that's not to take anything away
Speaker 1: from any other team. They make it difficult on you,
Speaker 1: but I think we've hurt ourselves a lot in these
Speaker 1: last few weeks too. And then when you get in
Speaker 1: those situations and you are a little bit more one
Speaker 1: dimensional at the end and your pass and every time, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna notice not having turned out there and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But that's when we're already in that situation.
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have been there. And when that's the case, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can have some great guys bail you out of
Speaker 1: some stuff, whether whether it's Debot taking a screen to
Speaker 1: the house, or Trimp being able to hold up in
Speaker 1: protection longer. But by no means are those reasons why
Speaker 1: we lost these games. It's just harder to overcome, all right,
Speaker 1: Thanks
