1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Tom Mutt and Jerry, Good morning, one of guys. How

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: you doing. We're doing good. You've talked a lot about

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: urgency and fast starts, and my guess is that it

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: is not the way you wanted things to go and

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: not the way you want things to start. Yesterday and

6
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: a tough laws in Tennessee. Yeah, you know, we just

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: we played poorly, you know, early and got behind and

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: then really just played on their terms all day and

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: just makes it just makes it tough and it you know,

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: that's not the way to win in the NFL. So

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: we gotta you know, start better than that and you know,

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: certainly perform better throughout four quarters. And it's just a

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: it's a tough loss, but we certainly didn't do anything

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: well enough to win the game. You were under pressure

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: all day. Three sacks, six hits, officially six, it seemed

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: like about sixty. But when you wake up today or

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: when you get home last night, do you know why

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: they managed how they managed to put so much pressure

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: on you? Uh? Yeah, I mean you definitely, I think

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, watching the film and stuff on the playing, Um,

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, they just they got a good team, they

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: have a good defense, they've they've really played well defensively

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: all year, and you know, when you're challenged by a

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: good defense, you got to do with a lot of

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: things right, and you gotta do them consistently. And you know,

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think we did those things as an offense.

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: And I think the third down third down was you know,

28
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: just a bad overall performance by all of us. We

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: didn't you know, couldn't make the plays to keep the

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: drives going and you know, keep our defense off the field.

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're not converting third downs, you're

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: not you know, doing enough to score points. So, um,

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, we ended up being in too many third longs.

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: And then they dial up, you know, kind of their

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: favorite pressures and um, you know, they had a lot

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: of guys who could rush, and they dropped a lot

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: of guys in the coverage and they just did a

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: good job kind of mixing what they were doing, and um,

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, it just ends up being being you know,

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: some good rush and good coverage together and that leads

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: to me holding the ball, and um, you know, not

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: a lot of good things happen when when we're doing that.

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Did you think it's sort of storyline after the game

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: that the knowledge that Demps and Mike Rabel have the

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: team that it helped them out. Did you did you

46
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: think that, Tom? Do you think that their experienced with

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots and coaching here helped them out

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: in game planning against you yesterday? You know, they did

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: a good job. You know, I think they did a

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: good job. And I think they executed well what they

51
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: were talking about and their plan and so forth. And

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, we played against those guys a lot too,

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: whether it was at the Texans or the Ravens, and um,

54
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's not like they did anything

55
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: that we weren't and talked about or overly surprises. I

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: think they were just they executed a high level. I

57
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: thought they played really aggressively, and you know, we had

58
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: our opportunities out there to take advantage and we just

59
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: didn't do it. He said. Rabel said after the game,

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: if you make Tom blink, you know you have a chance. Meeting,

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: and he explained, he said, if he doesn't go to

62
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: his first guys as first receiver, if you force them

63
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: to go who's progressive, then you could get to them.

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: It sounds so simple. Um, Usually they can't do that.

65
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Defenses can't do that, and I guess we're just trying

66
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: to understand why they were so effective at it. I mean,

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: I think, you know, in general, anytime you do that

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks, that's you know, you you'd always like to

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: design plays where your first or sex second option gets

70
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: to play. You know. I think they just we're I mean,

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: we're not doing enough good things offensively. I mean it's

72
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: really been for ten weeks that you know, I've said

73
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: we could do things at a lot better level. We

74
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: just haven't done it. And I think we're the the

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, the lack of execution at different times shows

76
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: up more than others. And you know, we've had games

77
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: where we scored thirty eight and I felt like we

78
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: didn't execute very well. And you know, we we scored

79
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: ten yesterday and didn't execute very well. So you know,

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: we're just we're not doing a very good job in

81
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: the run game. We're not doing very good job in

82
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: the past game. Um, offensively, we're just you know, we're

83
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: we we haven't done a very good job this year.

84
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: You know, take advantage of our opportunities and um, you know,

85
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: fortunately we're seventy three and I think we've got a

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: lot of football ahead of us. We've got our entire

87
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: season ahead of us. We've got a great opportunity. Um,

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, we're coming at we'll go into the Bible,

89
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: evaluate what we do, and we'll try to do you know,

90
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: our very best going forward. And I think you know,

91
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: that's what our plan is, and that's that's what I

92
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: would expect from us. And um, you know this is

93
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: this is when you know, you really figure out what

94
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of team you are. And it hasn't been all good.

95
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: It hasn't been all bad. You know, there's a lot

96
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: of good things to take there's you know, some bad

97
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: things to take, um from the from the past ten weeks.

98
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: But we put ourselves in a position to finish strong

99
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: and you know we've got to go out and take

100
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: advantage of that. And it's going to take a lot

101
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: of hard work, a lot of commitment, you know, a

102
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: lot of dedication by everybody to to get it done.

103
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: And you know that'll define what happens with our season.

104
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: What's good to take from yesterday, Well, we haven't turned

105
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: the ball over in three weeks. You know, that's a

106
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: good place to start. I mean, even when we're winning,

107
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, we were turning the ball over too much,

108
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: and in the last three weeks we haven't turned it over,

109
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: which is good. You know, yesterday, I think we's just

110
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: up and down. I mean, we're we made some big

111
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: plays and then we went backwards. We made big plays

112
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: and went backwards. And I think a good offense has

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: to you know, it has to go through everybody. You know,

114
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of players that have to make plays

115
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: when your numbers called, and you know, utilizing everybody that's available,

116
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, and and hopefully if you know, the bye week,

117
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: everyone can get healthy and everyone can you know, really

118
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: reinvigorate themselves and we know, come back and we'll see

119
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: what we can do. But it always feels terrible when

120
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: you lose. But I always think it's a great part

121
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: of really self reflection of what we have to do

122
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: as individuals and then when we do as a team

123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: in order to reach a much higher level. Because you know,

124
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: when you go on the road and you don't play well,

125
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: you lose in the NFL. And they know it's it's

126
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: that sounds very easy to say, it's it's it's hard

127
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: to win in the NFL. And you know, they didn't

128
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: make any mistakes, they played well, on defense. They played

129
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: really well on offense. I mean if they played like

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: that every week, they win a lot of games, you know,

131
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: just like we would if we played well. So that's

132
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: usually what it comes down too. And we just we

133
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: had a bad day on the road. And when that happens,

134
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, you get you know, you get, you get beat.

135
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: You've mentioned after the game, the quarterbacks, the throwback from MetalMan,

136
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: when you made the catch and you fell short of

137
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: that first down, your foot didn't get caught there, Tom,

138
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: but it looked like you had the first down there.

139
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Do you feel like that was a play. If you

140
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: make that play and convert the first down there, it

141
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: can be a momentum. Plays like that can can spur

142
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: your team as you're struggling offensively. Yeah, I mean that's

143
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: a third down play. I mean those are the ones

144
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: we talked about. So, you know, plays like that we

145
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: have to come up with. And Julia made a great

146
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: throw and you know, just came up a half yard short.

147
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: I was, you know, just one of those one of

148
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: those plays that you know, I wish I would have

149
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: done a better job of. So um, you know, that

150
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: just speaks to our overall execution and things like that

151
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: where you come up a little short. I mean coming

152
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: up short is the same as coming up you know,

153
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: not short. Um, so you've got to you know, whether

154
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: you're a half yard short or three yard short. I mean,

155
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: you got to get the first down. And I had

156
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get in and I didn't. The last

157
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: two weeks, no catches for Chris Ogan three targets. When

158
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: you sit and look at the film on your way

159
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: home last night, do you see opportunities missed where there

160
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: are times where he was open or is he just

161
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: not getting open? No, he definitely, you know he's working

162
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: his tale off. He you know, it was the fourth

163
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: down play at the end of the game where it

164
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Logan knocked there on Julian. You know, Chris ran a

165
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: great route and and um in deep Malcolm, you know,

166
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: I had a chance to throw it down the sideline,

167
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: but um, you know it was kind of focused on Willian.

168
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: And No, there's different times where he gets opportunities and

169
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: he does a great job for us. I mean he's

170
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: got to be everyone's got to get targets and looks,

171
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: and you know he hasn't gotten as many as he

172
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: would like. Um, you know, and and Uh, you know,

173
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: I got to figure out a way to get the

174
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: ball to everybody, and uh, you know, so that we

175
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: can all make plays. And when everyone's making plays, a

176
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: big offense is tough to stop. So that's that'll certainly be,

177
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, something we try to focus on and make

178
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: sure everyone's getting the looks that they deserve and and

179
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: go on and make the places when we get them.

180
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: When when you have a stud like Josh Gordon, a

181
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: guy big and strong and fast and tougher, I mean

182
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: tougher than I thought, goes over the middle, do you

183
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: find yourself not locked in but maybe looking at him

184
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: too much? I mean, yesterday at twelve targets just poor catches.

185
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: Can that be a problem when you have a guy

186
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: that physically appealing to a quarterback? Uh? I mean, I

187
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: think the realities you're trying to I'm just trying to

188
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: find open guy, you know, And I'm trying to throw

189
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: it to the guy that I think is going to

190
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: be the most open based on the play and where

191
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: we're running and what the defense has called. And I

192
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: don't always do that. I mean, I may certainly make

193
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: mistakes in my reads, but you know, I'm just I'm

194
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: not thinking much about you know, whose where, and a

195
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: lot of those things are game plan and we're putting

196
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: guys in certain positions, you know, based on situations, and

197
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: then I'm just letting the coverage kind of dictate where

198
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: it goes. So it's not like we're throwing into triple coverage,

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, we're thrown into one on ones. And you know,

200
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Josh got some opportunity, Julian did you know? Chris didn't

201
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: get it as many as he would like. But you know, again,

202
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: we'll just have to look at how things have played

203
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: out the last few weeks and then figure out how

204
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: to get everyone you know, more looks, more targets. We

205
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: are not used to seeing in the fourth quarter times

206
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: seven minutes to go, you sitting on the bench and

207
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer taking over there at the end. Were you

208
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: surprised to come out of the game still with that

209
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: much time left, still a three score game? I mean,

210
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it is what it is. So um,

211
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, I would like to to always play I

212
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: would certainly like to be ahead by you know, three

213
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: scores at that point, but we weren't, and we didn't

214
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: do enough to earn it. And you know, that's happened before,

215
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: and you know, we we got to do a better

216
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: job of it. So we got to do a better

217
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: job all around. So we're not in those positions and

218
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: we're capable of doing it. I mean, I think we've

219
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: we know what we're capable of doing. We have to

220
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: go do a better job of it. And you know,

221
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: the we've had three tough losses on the road where

222
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: we haven't played very well. We didn't start very well.

223
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: We always played on their terms, and that's a good

224
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: recipe for winning. You know, when you're on the other

225
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: side of those things, it's you know, getting a lead,

226
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: playing with the lead, and then if you're not playing

227
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: with the lead, it's really a lot of mental toughness,

228
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: determination to fight your way back into the game. And

229
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, we got to figure out a better formula

230
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: for that when we get behind on the road, rather

231
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: than you know, we started fast in Chicago, we got

232
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: to lead there, We had to lead in Buffalo when

233
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: we did win. And the three times where we really

234
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: had slow starts in the first quarter on the road

235
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: was Jacksonville, Detroit, and in Tennessee, and it just we

236
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: started slow in the past. It's just hard to overcome it,

237
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, especially when we're you know, not executing the

238
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: way that we're capable of executing. So, you know, if

239
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: we get behind, we got to figure out a way

240
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: to come back. If we get ahead, that's what our

241
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: goal is. And we're certainly not going to get ahead

242
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: every week. I mean it's not you know, you're not

243
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna be up fourteen the end of the first quarter

244
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: for all sixteen games in the year. But if you

245
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: are behind, you've got to be able to you know,

246
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: dig deep and make a competitive put some pressure on

247
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: those guys. And you know, we just never did that.

248
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: Based on our overall ability to throw and catch, our

249
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: ability to you know, run the ball and make your

250
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: positive yards, stay on the field on third down, you know,

251
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: take advantage of some field position. We didn't really do

252
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: any of those things. Were you insulted, offended at all

253
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: when they ran that same reverse quarterback pass to Mariota

254
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: that you guys ran, No, of course, no, of course.

255
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: Now they're trying to win, they're trying to you know,

256
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: use plays that they think are going to work in

257
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: place to their advantage, and uh, you know, they executed well.

258
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they played they played well they ran the

259
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: ball well, they threw it well, they made critical third downs,

260
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: they scored in the red area. You know, they they

261
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: had a good funt returns to a good kickoff returns,

262
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: they played well in defense. I mean, they just had

263
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: a good game and we had a we had a

264
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: not so good game. And that's that's really reflected in

265
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: the funnel score. Does it does it ruin your bye

266
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: week at all? I mean, obviously you like to go

267
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: into the bye with a win, but I mean does

268
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: this do you go into the by with a bad

269
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: taste and just think about that Jets game in two weeks? Well,

270
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: do you have any fun in the next two weeks? Yeah? No,

271
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: I think there's It certainly creates, you know more, it's

272
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: anytime you lose, I mean, you got to learn from it.

273
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: And if you learn from it, you know, sometimes these

274
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: losses can and you know, teach you a lot of things.

275
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: And I think you know, you know, when you look

276
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: at that game and you look at other games, you know,

277
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: there's formulas for winning and as formulas for losing. And

278
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: you know, the more we can do to to to

279
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: you know, the things that are getting us behind. I mean,

280
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: we've got to really just do a lot of um

281
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: self analysis and self scout, and I think really, you know,

282
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: buckle down on the things that have worked and get

283
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: rid of the things that haven't worked, and understand what

284
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: we've been able to do consistently for ten weeks well

285
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: and vice versa and not so well, so that you

286
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: can do more of the things that work and less

287
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: of things that don't work. And you know, we just

288
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: we battled through a lot of things. You know, we

289
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: faced a little bit adversity. We've had a lot of

290
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: guys kind of banged up in and out. You know,

291
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: lineups have changed, and you know, I think everyone, if

292
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: we were certainly thought we would play a lot better yesterday,

293
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: but we didn't. And you know, seven and three and

294
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: six games to go, and I think we just like

295
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: I said, we got our whole season ahead of us.

296
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: And it's really gonna our season is gonna be you

297
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: know what what we make of it. And you know,

298
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity. And I know we can play

299
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: better than we played yesterday. I know we can play

300
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: better than we played all year. We just gotta be

301
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: able to work at it and focus on it and

302
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: try to go out and do it our quarterback question

303
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: the week. Tom played against a couple former Patriots yesterday.

304
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: One of those, Dion Lewis, said, you know that that's

305
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: what happens when you go cheap. He's not the first

306
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: teammate who's spoken out sort of against the team after

Speaker 1: I think people at different emotional feelings. And you know,

314
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: Dion had a great career here, and you know, it's

315
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: hard to see great players go. And I know it's

316
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,320

317
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,400

319
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,440
