Speaker 1: Howdy, Oh, here they come, I'll wait for you guys. Good. Oh,
Speaker 1: just some lake cramps, so I just had to get
Speaker 1: some I V's hydrate a little.
Speaker 2: Bit so that I'm good.
Speaker 1: No, not at all. I think our standards are higher
Speaker 1: than what we put on tape today. You know, it's
Speaker 1: back to back weeks. We've started out like with two
Speaker 1: not great drives to start off, so we have to
Speaker 1: as an offense, we have to start better than that
Speaker 1: and not just have to rely on our defense, who well,
Speaker 1: they don't. They're gonna say that they have to clean
Speaker 1: stuff up too, but you know, they cause two turnovers.
Speaker 1: But we also had two turnovers, so that's tough for us.
Speaker 1: I think Kyle said that we were really bad on
Speaker 1: third down, so it's hard to win football games a
Speaker 1: year like that. And we didn't run the ball that
Speaker 1: effectively today either. So the things that we're known for
Speaker 1: being good at, we weren't great at. And so that
Speaker 1: kind of explains why we lose. What would you your
Speaker 1: to the slower offensive stuff, not convert on first imount
Speaker 1: third down? I mean we have opportunities. They're like, it's
Speaker 1: not like we're on third and fifteen. It's like the
Speaker 1: first two drives. I'm pretty sure they were manageable third downs,
Speaker 1: we just didn't convert. That's hard. And then you go
Speaker 1: down in the red zone and we don't get a
Speaker 1: touchdown on fourth down, they have a what a That
Speaker 1: was a sick play actually for between Sam and JJ
Speaker 1: to go all the way you know, ninety seven yards.
Speaker 1: I was not fun to watch, but it was cool.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's just kind of hard when you don't
Speaker 1: score and they score two plays later. You know, you're
Speaker 1: not played on this team since nineteen ninety four, but
Speaker 1: that was the last time that.
Speaker 2: The nine Ers have one in the State of miss
Speaker 2: Or if there's.
Speaker 1: Something about this atmosphere, the Vikings that's just.
Speaker 2: Tough to overcome.
Speaker 1: That moves, Holy excuse me, that would have been terrible.
Speaker 1: Nothing I can put my finger on. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a great matchup between UH coachs there know they're
Speaker 1: decordinator and coach Shanahan. I think it's a really good
Speaker 1: matchup and you know, they each win occasionally, and I
Speaker 1: think he did a really good game plan against us.
Speaker 1: And when you have multiple turnovers and you can't cover
Speaker 1: on third down, this is what it is like. I don't.
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful atmosphere. I love, I love I love
Speaker 1: playing here. The fans are fantastic. They're very noisy. They
Speaker 1: love their state, they love their fans, I mean sorry,
Speaker 1: they love their players, they love their team. So I mean,
Speaker 1: we just have to be more efficient. Really did he really?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 1: For him? How much presence? And Christian is the offensive
Speaker 1: m VP for a reason. He was in the MVP
Speaker 1: voting for a reason. He had twenty plus touchdowns for
Speaker 1: a reason, because he does it all in the in
Speaker 1: the past game, in the run game. It's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's really fun because it's like having Debo and him
Speaker 1: are just interchangeable. Like you'll have Christian running routes and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you put a Mike linebacker
Speaker 1: on him and Debo's in the backfield. You have no
Speaker 1: idea what you're gonna get. So just gives us another dimension.
Speaker 1: And then you know he's voted to Like he didn't
Speaker 1: do anything, he didn't do OTAs, he didn't do really
Speaker 1: much a training camp, he still voted a captain. So
Speaker 1: like there's the impact that you guys can see, he
Speaker 1: has an incredible impact on this team. You know, just
Speaker 1: him being around. Uh, he boosts everyone's confidence. But I
Speaker 1: mean I still think we could have. I mean we
Speaker 1: won last week. I think we had opportunities to, you know,
Speaker 1: find a way to win today and you know, we
Speaker 1: just didn't. But yeah, it's just, uh there's things that
Speaker 1: we can't do without Christian. Something good at football, yeah
Speaker 1: uh yeah. They have been saying it since like his
Speaker 1: second year All Pro Fred. I mean, he just puts
Speaker 1: it on tape every single day. He's a fantastic football player,
Speaker 1: leads a defense, always has the energy. He's everything he
Speaker 1: wanted a forty nine er, you know, and the way
Speaker 1: that he plays is the standard for the defense. And
Speaker 1: he does a really good job too of like calling
Speaker 1: guys out when they don't playing at the standard that
Speaker 1: he expects out of them too. So he's everything he want.
Speaker 1: A Mike linebacker current as a teammate
Speaker 2: Who
