1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Gene, No, we're not going to do that. We are 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: looking at, you know, everything and how we can do 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: things from a better standpoint. I think that, you know, 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: it's obviously a position that gets a lot of attention, 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: but you know, at the same point, Um, you know, 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: I really think that, you know, I was gonna open 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: up with a statement saying that when I watched the game, 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: obviously you know, we played extremely hard. Um, we came 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: up on the short end of the stick. I think that, Um, 10 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna focus on, you know, playing with 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: that that same type of intensity and trying to put 12 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: a full game together. I think that, you know, for myself, 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: the coaches and everyone, Um, we just we just got 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: to do a better job, whether it's you know, putting 15 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: them in better position or them executing better. And I'm 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: talking about all around, Um, you know, for us to 17 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: go and get a win, and that's what we're gonna 18 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: focus on. All right, Thanks Jeane. We'll go to John Reid. 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: All right, we'll go to Mike dracco Oh, John gut 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: John coach, can you talk about, um, what what about 21 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: the situation with Malik Jackson and also the h you 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: kind of answered it about not making changing the quarterback, 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: but are you looking at other areas to try to 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: change things up? Are looking for different things to do 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: from what you're not getting in certain positions? Well, if 26 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I don't you know what Malik, 27 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: we just felt that, hey, this team was gonna come 28 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: in and and and didn't play that way. But you know, 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: we're gonna just try to you know, double team wear 30 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: us down on the inside. So we went there with 31 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: you know, the bigger, the bigger, the bigger guys on 32 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: the inside and normal down and distances and the bringing 33 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: um you know, Malik in for the passing situation. So 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, he winded up getting probably about seven or 35 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: eight snaps less than what he normally gets. UM. So 36 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be able to change that because you know, 37 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: we feel that if you know, we can get those 38 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: big guys out there early. You know, we moved Tavan 39 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: around um a little bit yesterday. I think that you know, 40 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: he's shown that, you know, he's progressing, and uh, you know, 41 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: we're excited about that, you know, and and and what 42 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: he's doing. But we're also excited about you know, getting 43 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: Malik there, keeping them fresh so we can get more 44 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: rush out of out of our you know, uh pass 45 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: pass rush packages. But they hadn't reached a point where 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: you're looking at line up changing. I mean when you 47 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: when you say that, I mean you know a lot 48 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: of things you gotta you gotta see if someone you 49 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: put in there is gonna be better. I mean, that's 50 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: the point of what it is right now. And I 51 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: don't think that we've ever not looked at if we 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: can put someone in there that's gonna perform better. And 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: that comes during the week of practice, and you know, 54 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: if if someone can perform better during that week, you 55 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: know we'll be able to do that. But again, you know, 56 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: you can't just replace people, um, you know, just just 57 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: to replace them. You got to replace them with people 58 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: that you feel are gonna do a better job for you. 59 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: So we're always looking at those things. And when those 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: things come up during the course of the week and 61 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: how people practice, um, you know, we we we'll implement that. 62 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: All right. Thanks John, We'll go to the rock and 63 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: then Phil, Hey, Doug, you said, you know on that 64 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: final third down that there was some concern about the protection. Um, 65 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: but but what's your trust level in Blake being able 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: to make the play there and not only Blake, but 67 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: with the receivers as well well, you know, you know, 68 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: going back again and and and obviously watching a numerous times. 69 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: You know, my first reaction was I thought, you know, hey, 70 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: what's what's the best past we have because we haven't 71 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: been you know, we weren't doing a very good job 72 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: in the play action or the drop back to that point, 73 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: and obviously the runs were inconsistent. We were getting the 74 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: same looks, and you know, when we went to the 75 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: last play, the last play the game, the third or five, 76 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, we had the option of either you know, 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: giving it to Leonard or you know, Blake pulling it 78 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: and running, which we thought was our two best options 79 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: at the time, two things that both those guys do well. 80 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: And a play that you know, we ran earlier in 81 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: the game and we're was very successful on and we 82 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: had it in our back pocket and it just didn't 83 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: work out. So Blake did have the option to pull 84 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: it on that play and take it himself. And just 85 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: to be clear, that's clear, yes, okay, yeah, I just 86 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: want to make sure. Thank you. Okay, all right, thanks, 87 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: We'll go to the Phil and then Daniel Popper, Hey, Doug, 88 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: just curious, do you think some Bortles has lost confidence? 89 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: Going back to the second and eight player early in 90 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter where it looked like he had moncre 91 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: upon his plants, decided not to throw it, takes a 92 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: sack and you guys can knocked out of field. Will 93 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: Range just does he look like a guy who's playing 94 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: a little gunsight to you? But I don't know. I mean, 95 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: I think he can better, you know, answer that question. 96 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: I can't get into his mind. I know that they 97 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: were rotating weak and he did have to put his 98 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: eyes down for the play action pass and when it 99 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: came back up, um, you know it just didn't feel 100 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: comfortable doing it. And you know that we all have 101 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: to do a better job putting him in position where 102 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: he can feel comfortable and you can go ahead and 103 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: let her rips. That's what I'm saying, Well, we all 104 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: have to do a better job. And also the seventy 105 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: year touched on the brown, were you guys in some 106 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: sort of quarters coverage and what was the breakdown there? 107 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: So what happened was he ran a curl route and 108 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: we wounded up coming up to it. Ben looked right 109 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: to him and we came up to that curl route 110 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: and then Ben looked right, and then we lost the 111 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: coverage and and then he kept going, you know, through 112 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: the other side of the field. We should have just 113 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: tried to stay back and keep everything in front of us. 114 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Phil, We'll go to Daniel. Hey, Doug, 115 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: you touched on it briefly earlier, but you guys were 116 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: obviously able to establish the run in the first half, 117 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: so you didn't really run much play action off of that. 118 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: Based on what I saw, Was there a reason for 119 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: that that you guys didn't call or run and play 120 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: action off of the run despite establishing that early. Well, 121 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: we had to play action just like we was mentioned before, 122 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, when we wanted to throw that slant um 123 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: get that in there, and then we had the too 124 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: play actions that we hit Leonard on, you know that 125 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: were big. So you know that's what that's what we 126 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: were looking at and trying to create that that separation. 127 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: We had a couple of things with some unders and 128 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: a couple of other routes, but you know, at the 129 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: same time, we felt were doing a really good job, 130 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, running the football which we wanted to establish. 131 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: And then you know, obviously we've got to make some 132 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: plays off the play action game. All right, Thanks, We're 133 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: gonna go to Jason Wolf. Hi, Doug, Um, what is 134 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: your assessment of Marcel darius performance and his role on 135 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: this game compared to the player he was for you 136 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: and Buffalo? Well, you know, the Buffalo things a long 137 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: time ago. But I can only really, you know, talk 138 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: about right now. And he's doing a very good job 139 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: for us. I mean, you know, he's he's been a 140 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: big part of being able to stop the run, handling 141 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: double teams, keeping people off the linebackers. Um, he's done 142 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: a real good job in the locker room, real good 143 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: job practice and all those things. So really, right now, 144 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: everything that we're asking to Marcel we're getting out of him, 145 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: and and he's doing a really good up. Is there 146 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: anything special about returning the Buffalo fore of you guys? 147 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't speak for anyone else. I mean, 148 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: I've been up there a couple of times already, and 149 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, I've always had a great appreciation for the 150 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: fans and the way of your organization. Everything that happened 151 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: while I was up there is you know, I was 152 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: always you know, very grateful and very appreciative of it. So, 153 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's been a long time now, we've played 154 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: those guys a couple of times, and uh, right now, 155 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: my focus is just on our team because obviously, um, 156 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: we've got to play well enough to try to get 157 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: a win. Thank you, all right, Thanks Jason. We'll go 158 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: back to Jean. I'm good. I'm good. Oh good, thanks Jane, 159 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: John or de Rock. You guys got anything? Yeah? I do? Yeah, 160 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: go ahead? Rock? Uh, Doug, can you evaluate the play 161 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: of Westbrook Schart mon Cree from yesterday? Um, and sort 162 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: of where your level of trust and those guys is 163 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: going board and being able to make some plays. Yeah, 164 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I obviously we put them out there, 165 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: we have a level of trust you know that they 166 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: can do the job, you know, but you know, make 167 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: no mistake about it. Early on, we were trying to 168 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: go out there and establish a physical mindset, knowing that 169 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: that's what we have to do to be the team 170 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: like Pittsburgh, who is a very good team, you know, 171 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: and run the football. You know. I think, you know, 172 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: obviously it's easy to go and you look back, you know, 173 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: I wish we would be able to you know, maybe 174 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: you know when you lose the game, you're always gonna question, 175 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, hey, the play action. You know, could we've 176 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: done this better? So you're always gonna go back as 177 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: coaches and do that, you know, and question those things. 178 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: But uh no, I don't. I don't. I don't feel 179 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: that way. We've got to go out there and you know, 180 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: we've got to put a complete game together and figure 181 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: this thing out where you know, you can come out 182 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: there and you can physically run the ball like that, 183 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: you know how, you're gonna create some explosive plays in 184 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: the passing game if you're doing that, or if you're 185 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: gonna come out and try to create some explosive plays 186 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: in the past games set up the run. You know. 187 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: Right now, we we just gotta do a good job 188 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: as coaches and players of putting all that together and 189 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: going out and executing it. Jalen said, you you came 190 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: up to him briefly and talked to him before the 191 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: game yesterday after that report came out about potential trade. 192 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, would you mind sharing what you told 193 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: him and how that conversation went. Well, I'm not I'm 194 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: not you know, I'm not going to talk about the 195 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: personal conversation. But you know, I have a very good relationship, 196 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: at least from my end, you know how I feel 197 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: about Um Jalen, and I thought that, you know, when 198 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: that stuff goes on, I think that's very difficult for 199 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: any player, not just not just a player like Jalen, 200 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, and you kind of look at it. That's 201 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: really kind of an unfair thing to do, you know, 202 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: right before a game and how that comes out. But 203 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: the one thing that I will say about Jalen was, uh, 204 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: the one thing I admire was, you know, he that 205 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: didn't get to him. He was had a laser like 206 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: focus to him. And Um went out there and played 207 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: extremely well against an outstanding football player and Antonio Round 208 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: and the other players that he had to cover during 209 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: the course of that game. So you know, it's it's 210 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: a tough situation. It's it's a disappointing situation, you know, 211 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: when things like that come out prior to the game UM. 212 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: But again I thought, I thought he and his teammates 213 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: they all did a great job of handling it so 214 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: they could just focus on the task at hand, which 215 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: was to go out there and play well against Pittsburgh. 216 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: From from your perspective, how do you think he's handled, Um, 217 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: all the attention he's getting every week. You know, it 218 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: seems like every week he's playing a guy that you know, 219 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: he criticized in in the g Q articles the beginning 220 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: of the year, and all that stuff keeps getting brought up. 221 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: How has he been able to maintain focus and handle that? 222 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: In your eyes? I think you know, it's it's it's 223 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: something again, you know. In my eyes, I'm expecting the 224 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: player to go out there and be focused like like 225 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: any other player on our football team. So you know 226 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: he's played, Um, he's a heck of a football player. 227 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: I have all the confidence in the world with him. Uh. 228 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: If I go we go out there and we got 229 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: to line up, I'm I'm bringing him out there with me, 230 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: you know. So that's how I feel. I think he 231 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: might be better at at you know, speaking about that, 232 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: because you know, when we talk, we're always talking about 233 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: you know, focus, the opponent, what we're doing as well 234 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: as I That's what I do it mostly mostly every player. 235 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: All right, thanks ro John.

Yeah? 291 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's the same thing that you're you're going 292 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: around on. You know. It's like you know when you 293 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: when you run it and you're successful, you're good, and 294 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: you know when you throw it, you're good. And you 295 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: know here, you know, we're trying to change some things 296 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: up and you know, throw the football and it's I think, 297 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: is is that is that the one that well we 298 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: got sacked twice? Now it's Blake through two picks or 299 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: third two incompletions, I should say three in completions, I 300 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: say there were no sacks on the series, right, Yeah, 301 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: I mean I just think yeah, we uh was trying 302 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: to remember the exactly over DJ on the sideline after 303 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: he rolled out to his right, right, right, right, right, Okay, Yeah, 304 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: yeah again. You know, it's it's one of those things 305 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: when you think about, hey, you know we're running the 306 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: ball well, the playing a run we want to take 307 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, you know, take it up top, and you 308 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: know we don't. We don't. We're not able to convert 309 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: or execute. And I think it's one of those things 310 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: I think when you don't play well and you lose, um, 311 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, all those things come into question. You know, 312 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: why did you run it? Why don't you pass it? 313 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: You know, why why did you do this? Why did 314 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: you do that? You know, we just felt at that 315 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: time that you know, we can get an explosive play 316 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: and get ourselves uh you know, to build on a 317 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: lead and take advantage of it. Just to be clear, 318 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: are you considering any changes to your staff again? You know, 319 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: I think I think in times like this, that's you know, 320 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: people who are gonna ask those questions and we're continually 321 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: trying to work together or try to figure out a 322 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: way to do to put this complete game in you know, 323 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: to do a better job from my standpoint, to the coaches, 324 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: to the players.
