Speaker 1: You guys five round. What do you think he's the
Speaker 1: running land you get started on this first drive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: something that we talked about each week, trying to start fast,
Speaker 1: and obviously it's not getting done. Um, yeah, we just
Speaker 1: got to continue to evaluate it, you know, and and
Speaker 1: uh and see see why you know we're we're coming
Speaker 1: up a little bit short. Whether it's the yard or two. Um,
Speaker 1: it's something that uh, you know, we we've got to
Speaker 1: we continue to address it and you got to make
Speaker 1: sure we fix it. Two the fourth quarter, it was
Speaker 1: a five yard lass. What happened on that play there, Well,
Speaker 1: we anticipated pressure and we got it and and the
Speaker 1: throw right there was you know to Corey and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, without watching the tape because we was on
Speaker 1: the far sideline, can't really tell you exactly you know
Speaker 1: what happened, but um, you know, anticipated the pressure, we
Speaker 1: got it, trying to get the ball out quick and
Speaker 1: and uh try to execute the play and we just
Speaker 1: failed to do that. In the locker room after the game,
Speaker 1: messages basically is pretty simple. Um, starting with myself, all
Speaker 1: of us, Uh, you know, we just look at ourselves
Speaker 1: in the mirror and um, are we are we doing enough?
Speaker 1: Are we giving enough um each week? It's a strain.
Speaker 1: I mean you have to you have to strain yourself
Speaker 1: to make plays. I mean, that's just the way this
Speaker 1: game is. And uh, we didn't do enough of that today.
Speaker 1: And that's that's the disappointing thing. Um, you know, and
Speaker 1: and just just gave up too many, too many plays
Speaker 1: defensively and then an offense didn't execute, uh you know enough. Uh,
Speaker 1: And so that's the that's the disappointing, disappointing thing. But
Speaker 1: each person, each coach, um, each player in that locker room,
Speaker 1: we have to we have to really look at it,
Speaker 1: at yourself and and and decide every day you come
Speaker 1: to work that that you're going to give your best
Speaker 1: and you're gonna do everything you can to get better
Speaker 1: and help this team win. You came out of a
Speaker 1: halftime locker room and we fired on the whole team. Dude, right,
Speaker 1: it all fisled out what happened. Guys were excited. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had three and out on defense, exactly what we
Speaker 1: talked about at halftime. Offense was able to go down
Speaker 1: and and I believe you get points on that next
Speaker 1: drive and and and it just felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: things were beginning to turn for us. UM, and I
Speaker 1: don't know that's the that's the you know, the disheartening
Speaker 1: thing is is something we got to look at and
Speaker 1: I've got to look at, you know, and and make
Speaker 1: sure that um, whether the guys are fresh going into games, um,
Speaker 1: you know, if uh, you know how we practice it
Speaker 1: just a lot of a lot of things can factor
Speaker 1: into some of that stuff, you know. And and then
Speaker 1: and then just just keep talking and keep reiterating the
Speaker 1: point to the guys that that we have to continue
Speaker 1: to finish. We got to finish in practice. Uh. It
Speaker 1: just can't you know, show up in a game and
Speaker 1: expect to finish a drive or finish a game. You know.
Speaker 1: We got to do those things during the week. Have
Speaker 1: the handle before the offense, Um he had he had
Speaker 1: you know, I guess the short answer would be, yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: we had a certain number of plays for him and
Speaker 1: wanted to get him, get him into the game and
Speaker 1: just get him, uh some some touches. And and I
Speaker 1: thought one thing we did do was you know, uh,
Speaker 1: we we did spread the ball around, um, whether it
Speaker 1: was through RPOs or play action or even just straight dropback.
Speaker 1: And O Zach had you know, I don't know fourteen
Speaker 1: or sixteen targets or something like that. But but he's
Speaker 1: the type of player that can handle that, you know,
Speaker 1: and and al Sean as well. So um, as we go,
Speaker 1: we'll continue to to increase the things that we do
Speaker 1: with him. What into the play call one that josh
Speaker 1: Adam was up, Yeah again offense. Uh you know, it
Speaker 1: was just a designed to uh um uh you know,
Speaker 1: basically circle the defense and and pen the only thing
Speaker 1: that that kills the players penetration, And we allowed the
Speaker 1: penetration to happen and and stopped stop the run. Bourt
Speaker 1: it down to Zach just what you see on that
Speaker 1: play where how much death is he supposed to get
Speaker 1: on that? Uh? In regards to the point, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a route that that's uh, it's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: uh again, it's gonna get you the you know, get
Speaker 1: you the fourth down or get you any down really
Speaker 1: uh and uh, I give credit to you know, to Dallas,
Speaker 1: to Heath. I mean he came up and it was
Speaker 1: a contested catch, you know, zactly a great ball was
Speaker 1: a little bit high, but um, you know, he came
Speaker 1: down with the ball and we were just uh, you know,
Speaker 1: about a half a yur short. So just a great
Speaker 1: play by them, and and and it was a play
Speaker 1: that uh you know I would call again. Um, just
Speaker 1: you're putting it in Carson's hands, You're putting it in
Speaker 1: Zack's hands. And and that's that's what you want. Message
Speaker 1: you had after the game. It's been said before this year,
Speaker 1: at what point are you concerned that this is who
Speaker 1: you are not games into the season. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: if we got to change who we are, then UM
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that uh. Um you know we have to
Speaker 1: go out and grab a whole bunch of new players
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I mean, you know, um, we
Speaker 1: just got to continue to work and continue to coach
Speaker 1: and and teach and and and get better. And um,
Speaker 1: you know, we we just got to do. We just
Speaker 1: gotta do a little bit more each week. It's not
Speaker 1: a it's not not a bunch of big changes, you know, Um,
Speaker 1: more close in a lot of areas. Um. But uh,
Speaker 1: but you know, to each man, uh, coaches and players,
Speaker 1: we have to you know, decide when we come to
Speaker 1: work that we're gonna we're gonna give our best today
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get ready for for another another you know,
Speaker 1: good team, we went different team wins the night and
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter twenty one against Carolina. Are they wearing down? Well?
Speaker 1: I think I think one of the things that that
Speaker 1: we knew coming into this game was that we were
Speaker 1: gonna get a steady diet of the of the run game,
Speaker 1: you know. And and Zeke was he's a big back,
Speaker 1: he's a powerful back, and um, you know, probably some
Speaker 1: of that a little bit, you know, but but uh,
Speaker 1: you know we also uh um, I thought, you know, overall,
Speaker 1: we didn't we didn't tackle great. You know, that's one
Speaker 1: of the areas that that we got to get better
Speaker 1: at two is tackling, tackling in space, tackling um, you know,
Speaker 1: in the box, and just making sure that um, you know,
Speaker 1: we get the guys on the ground and there's there
Speaker 1: were too many yards after contact and and uh things
Speaker 1: like that, and and with those are areas that we
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta concentrate on. You've got a lot of
Speaker 1: injuries in the secondary, you had new line Johnson, You've
Speaker 1: had a bunch of injuries at the school positions. There
Speaker 1: were the injuries starting to uh have an effect on
Speaker 1: the team next performance. Well, I think I think, uh um,
Speaker 1: I think it can. But but uh you know, you
Speaker 1: know you've been around us enough to know that that
Speaker 1: we we we're not going to let that be an excuse.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the next band up mentality, and and
Speaker 1: we just got to make sure that the next guy
Speaker 1: is is ready to go and prepared. And um, you know,
Speaker 1: in in in in Lane's case, I mean obviously big
Speaker 1: vib you know, steps in and does a great job.
Speaker 1: He does the same thing for JP, and he plays
Speaker 1: he plays well. So um, you know, we just gotta
Speaker 1: we just gotta keep keep fighting. I mean, one and
Speaker 1: one in the division. There's a lot of division games
Speaker 1: ahead of us, and and uh some some good football
Speaker 1: left especially disappointed coming off with Bible. You gotta guess
Speaker 1: you will hope pick the common jump. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you try to the month in November,
Speaker 1: I think his his teams begin to um sort of
Speaker 1: separate themselves and and uh um, you know we did
Speaker 1: take a probably you know, we did take a step
Speaker 1: back tonight, and that's the disappointing thing. And um, listen,
Speaker 1: we're just you know, we're not going to make excuses
Speaker 1: for anything. Uh you know, we're gonna we're gonna gonna
Speaker 1: come to work and and uh and get ready for
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Carson's playing to night. Um. I thought early,
Speaker 1: you know, there were some things that uh, you know,
Speaker 1: he'd probably like to get back. I think the accuracy
Speaker 1: was off just a touch and and but but I
Speaker 1: think as he settled into the game, he did some
Speaker 1: really really nice things. Uh, made some really really good throws,
Speaker 1: tight contested throws. Um. I know he'd like to have
Speaker 1: the touch to the throat Alshan back. I think that
Speaker 1: was a touchdown pass there. He'd liked to have that
Speaker 1: one back. But I thought overall, he played, uh, he
Speaker 1: played well. You know, he managed the offense and it
Speaker 1: did some really good things. On Urtz. Was there were
Speaker 1: there other people he could have gone to? Some of
Speaker 1: the players. Well, yeah, I mean, you know, until we
Speaker 1: until I look at the tape and see, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know that's uh Hurts is a pretty good receiver
Speaker 1: and and he's a big part of the offense. But uh, um,
Speaker 1: you know, I with until I look at the film
Speaker 1: to really understand, you know, where the ball went. Um
Speaker 1: and and and see it's hard to say mencerned about
Speaker 1: this team, see well Obviously, you get a little concerned
Speaker 1: after after a loss, um and you you know, you
Speaker 1: scratch your head and you try to put your finger
Speaker 1: on some things and and uh um. But at the
Speaker 1: same time I understand that you know, this is still
Speaker 1: um our divisions right in front of us again. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you got seven games remaining, and and uh
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's a prideful group and that's
Speaker 1: the thing that uh Um. You know, I trust those
Speaker 1: players in there, and and they'll they'll get it figured out.
Speaker 1: And uh um, you know, it's just it just comes
Speaker 1: down to you know, like I said earlier, I mean,
Speaker 1: just just each man and and uh um, you know,
Speaker 1: we can't worry about two, three, four games from now.
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't worry about the postseason or any
Speaker 1: of that. You got to worry about the next the
Speaker 1: next game, and focus on the next game and and
Speaker 1: do everything you can to try to win that game.
Speaker 1: Previously that you've said previously that one of your goals
Speaker 1: every season is to win all your home games. Having
Speaker 1: lost now three a Royle at home, to make it
Speaker 1: sort of especially the goal, isn't it all right? So
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta just focus on the next game, right,
Speaker 1: all right,
